An additional ____ hour minimum is awarded when the second subpoena requires the bargaining unit member's appearance, if the second subpoena requires the appearance hour or more after release from the first subpoena.

• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 2

Answer: (C)

This item tests how the contract handles an extra minimum time when a second subpoena requires the member to appear after the first subpoena has been released. The rule is that if the second subpoena requires appearance and is at least an hour after the first one was released, there is an additional three-hour minimum awarded. This three-hour increment recognizes the extra disruption, travel, and preparation time needed for back-to-back subpoenas, ensuring the member isn’t undercompensated for the second appearance. Therefore, the correct amount is three hours. The other options don’t align with this specific provision, which sets the additional minimum at three hours in this scenario.
