The UNION shall notify the EMPLOYER in writing of the <br />name of such UNION representatives and of their successors when so designated as <br />provided by 6.2 of this AGREEMENT. <br /> <br />7.3 PROCESSING OF A GRIEVANCE <br />It is recognized and accepted by the UNION and the EMPLOYER that the processing of <br />grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the <br />employees and shall therefore be accomplished during normal working hours only when <br />consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and a <br />UNION representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss of pay <br />when a grievance is investigated and presented to the EMPLOYER during normal <br />working hours provided that the employee and the UNION Representative have notified <br />and received the approval of the designated supervisor who has determined that such <br />absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the <br />EMPLOYER. <br /> <br />7.4 PROCEDURE
