ARTICLE 54
TAU Article Title:
WELLNESS CENTERS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAMS
TAU Article Language:
Section 1. The Parties recognize that physical fitness programs and Wellness Centers contribute to increased productivity, reduced health insurance premiums, improved morale, reduced turnover, enhance the greater ability of employees to cope with stressful situations and increase Agency recruitment potential.

Section 2. By mutual agreement, the Parties may form a Wellness Committee at the local level. The committee should be formed so as to fairly represent all facility employees. The Union, at its election, may designate a representative to serve as a member of the committee.



I wonder if this means we can get the agency to pay for part (or all) of a gym membership? Anyone have experience with this article at their facility?

I think it is more for forming a committee at the local level and creating a wellness center in your facility. Ours has a awesome one, for only 50 bucks a year.

ZSE does. And an Indian casino across the street. Really, what else do you need?

not a center, but C90 has a pretty sweet workout room (free) in the facility, with a couple of showers . . . and a riverboat casino less than 10 miles away. GRB didn't have a workout facility, but the casino was so close, you could bang out on the ART and be at the blackjack table in less than 10 minutes.
