against the charging party.<br />

Substantiated instances of such harassment will be remedied by the Employer. An<br />

arbitrator may decide only whether or not the charging party has substantiated that sexual<br />

harassment has occurred, but what constitutes the appropriate remedy will be determined by the<br />

Employer in its sole discretion.<br />

Section 3. An employee who has filed a sexual harassment complaint will be notified when<br />

the investigation has been concluded. The employee will be informed of the results of the<br />

investigation.<br />

Section 4. Employees shall be treated in a respectful manner which does not embarrass them<br />

or demean their dignity. Incidents which are at variance with this principle may be appealed<br />

through the Grievance Procedure, provided that the decision at the fourth step/Joint State<br />

Committee shall be final and binding.<br />

ARTICLE 32<br />

UNION BUSINESS<br />

Section 1. The Employer agrees to provide space on bulletin boards to the Union for the<br />

announcement of meetings, election of officers of the Union and any other material related to<br />

Union business. Furthermore, the Union shall not post material detrimental to the<br />

labor-management relationship nor of a political or controversial nature. The Union may send mail<br />

related to Union business to local official Union representatives at appropriate facilities to which<br />

mail is delivered. Such mail shall not be read by other than the addressee.<br />

Section 2. No Union member or representative shall solicit members, engage in organizational<br />

work, or participate in other Union activities during working hours on the Employer's premises<br />

except as provided for in the processing of grievances.<br />

Union members or representatives may be permitted to use suitable facilities on the<br />

Employer's premises to conduct Union business during non-work hours upon obtaining permission<br />

from the Employer's human resource officer or designated representative. Any additional costs<br />

involved in such use must be paid for by the Union.<br />

Union representatives shall be permitted to investigate and discuss grievances during<br />

working hours on the Employer's premises if notification is given to the human resource officer or<br />

a designated representative. If the Union representative is an employee of the Employer, the<br />

employee shall request from the immediate supervisor reasonable time off from regular duties to<br />

process such grievances. The Employer will provide a reasonable number of employees with time<br />

off, if required, to attend negotiating meetings.<br />
