The issue in this grievance is whether management violated Article 17 by allowing the union steward to meet with affected grievants for a specified amount of time only. During our discussion, it was mutually agreed that the following would represent a full settlement of this case:
Employees should be permitted, under normal circumstances, to have a reasonable amount of time to consult with their steward. Reasonable time cannot be measured by a predetermined factor.
