The Employer shall also provide the Local President at the respective institution with a
copy of institutional directives pertaining to conditions of employment for employees in this unit.
Staff-Patient Ratio Safety

is agreed that a labor/management committee shall be established at the local level to meet and
discuss over Union concerns/recommendations regarding staffing issues.

are not limited to policies and programs of the Employer that affect the safety of unit employees.
