Section 1. When a full facility check evaluation is
conducted at an AFSS facility, the Union at the local level may appoint 1
bargaining unit member to serve on the evaluation team. The evaluation team
leader may request 1 additional union appointed team leader. The

the Hub AFSS to participate. The Union-appointed team member shall be on
official time, including travel time and will function at the direction of the
evaluation team leader. Travel expenses will be the responsibility of the
Union.

outside the normal duty hours and that Union participation is strictly
voluntary. No overtime is authorized or will be paid for time spent serving as
a member of the evaluation team.

final evaluation report at the time the report is given to the facility
