EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATION CONTACT PROCEDURES

Employee organizations shall be permitted reasonable access to employees for the purpose of exercising the rights guaranteed by Chapter 10.7 of the Government Code. Such access shall not interfere with school district operations and shall be subject to the following rules:

1. Employee organizations shall provide the Board of Trustees, or its designated representatives, the names of recognized employee organization representatives authorized to discuss organizational matters with district employees.

2. Employee organization representative(s) shall assure the District, in writing, that he/she understands and will abide by District regulations and in particular, will not meet with employees during the working hours, except during lunch and break, unless the employee(s) receive permission from their supervisor to be absent from their post or place of employment on each occasion. The burden is placed on the employee(s) and their supervisor to establish that the employee(s) may or may not be absent from their post.

3. Authorized employee organization representatives shall, upon arriving at a school site, report initially to the Dean, Administrative Services, or his/her designated administrative assistant. In the case of branch campuses of the College, the organization representative will notify the Dean, Administrative Services, and upon arrival at the branch, notify the branch coordinator.
