The Union recognizes the Employer’s right to notify a specific Employee
directly of its intent to take a specific action with regard to that Employee.
Such cases include, but are not limited to RIF, adverse action, reassignment,
transfer of function, furlough, detail, discipline, denial of within grade
increase, and any actions based on unacceptable performance.
The Employer recognizes the representational concerns of the Union regarding
these types of notices. Therefore, the Employer agrees to provide a second copy
of any such notice which states at the top of the first page "This copy may be
provided to any officer of AFGE 1309 if you choose to do so."
