One other Union Representative shall be released from duty not to exceed how many times weekly?

• A. Once
• B. Thrice
• C. Twice
• D. Four times

Answer: (C)

Union duties require a balance between giving representation to members and keeping the work force covered. The policy sets a cap on how often another Union Representative can be released from duty, ensuring enough staffing while still allowing needed union actions. Not exceeding this limit means you can have up to two separate releases in a week for another representative to handle union matters, such as investigations, meetings, or grievances. Releasing more than that would strain operations, while releasing less could unduly restrict union representation. So the best choice is the limit of two times per week, since one time would under-allow the necessary support, and three or four times would surpass the cap and disrupt coverage.
