  1. Marriage of the employee;

  2. Sickness of the employee or employee's immediate family;

  3. Union activity other than this establishment.

  4. Death of a family member not outlined in Article 21.02 

21.02   An employee will be granted up to a three (3) day leave of absence with pay, at his regular straight time hourly rate, to make arrangements for and to attend the funeral of the employee's spouse, common law spouse, child, parents, parents in law, brother, sister, grandchildren or grandparents. Such pay will be for time actually taken away from the jobsite. Further time may be granted by mutual agreement between the Employer and the employee. To receive such pay the employee must return to work unless notified during the leave of a layoff.
