Based on the evidence presented in this grievance, we find that local management will in future instances allow "ample" time for the local union to participate in new employee orientation in conformance with Article XVII, Section 7 of the National Agreement. Therefore, the issues raised are resolved and this grievance is closed.
Note: Management informed the local Union that time to speak to new employees during orientation would be only 15 minutes.
Comment: Webster's Dictionary defines "Ample" as generous or more than adequate, enough to satisfy; more than enough.
