(a) Legislative Findings. I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that existing union contracts with the Guam Community College and the University of Guam provide for release time for the president of the union to address issues related to their collective bargaining unit. I Liheslaturan Guåhan further finds that such release time can be leave without pay and that it is in the interests of the public and the employees that such a policy of permitting release time be uniform throughout the government of Guam.

(b) Authorization for Release time. Any government of Guam employee who is a President or head of a union representing a recognized collective bargaining unit of the government of Guam shall be provided release time for the purpose stipulated in this Section and shall have their assigned work duties adjusted accordingly. This release time does not have to be paid leave and shall be used to conduct union-related business, and to address issues important to their respective collective bargaining units. The President/Union head may not use this release time for union organizing efforts.
