Designation of Representation Federal Law as explicitly supported by the National Labor Relations Act gives employees "rte right to choose a representative to bargain with your employer on your beball.. USPS Elm 651.2 APWU National and Local #89 Constitutions ALL advocate an employee's individual right to choice of representation. The assertion ofan employee's individual rights tunder Federal Law in no way usurps the APWU's sovereign union cerification as defined in Art 1 section | ofthe Collective Bargaining Agreement Formally, in writing I the undersigned exercise said right and hereto designate myself as “choice of representation” at BOTH Step 1 and Step 2 of the grievance-arbitration procedure. The Collective Bargaining Agreement specifically states that representation must be provided “on the clock”. In compliance with the enclosed cited Federal Law, upon “request for representation”, the onus is on Lindbergh Plant Management to make wha:ever provisions necessary to satisfy said request. Bearing in mind requested time will be used to research, write and have investigated grievances on my own behalf. This in no way absolves APWU Local 89 of its responsibility to provide requested information to assist in grievance investigation, adjustment and processing. envoworsi2d at Glze/ 7 Robert Hal
