Under Article 21, Section 2.G. of the AFGE Master Agreement, are the union and the subject of an investigation entitled to a copy of the investigation file at any time during the investigation?
Neither the union nor the subject is entitled to copies of the file before the investigation is complete. Article 21, Section G.2 provides that “…the subject of the investigation and the Union will be furnished a copy of the complete investigation (not just the evidence file) and all other relevant and pertinent information which would be provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or 5 U.S.C. 7114…” Releasing this information before the investigation is complete would compromise the integrity of the investigation. This would allow witnesses to fabricate their testimony or conform what they say to what other employees testified. Q. #2: In the AFGE Master agreement Article 1, Section 1, it mentions that the consolidated certification covers those previously certified non-professional and professional employees, full-time, part-time and temporary… Does this mean that where there is an AFGE certification that temps or part-time employees have been automatically included?No, I
