What are employees rights to representation and do they get State release time?
The representational rights of employees will vary depending on the issue, and the bargaining unit the employee is assigned to. As a general rule, with prior supervisory approval, employees have the right to paid release time to be represented on issues involving work hours, wages, and other terms and conditions of employment. Additionally, job stewards are allowed reasonable time off, with prior approval, to represent an employee in accordance with the provisions of the MOU. While employees do not have a legal right to representation for routine performance discussions, it is suggested they be allowed representation if they request it. If, however, adverse action is being considered, the employee must be allowed a representative to be present at the meeting. These rights are referred to as “Robinson Rights.” Neither employees or a job stewards are allowed state paid release time to engage in union sponsored activities such as union rallies, membership drives etc..
