(a) For contracts not administered by DCMA, contact the Agency labor advisor for support concerning contractor labor issues.
(90) Whenever labor representatives request permission to enter a DLA installation on which private contract employees are engaged in contract work to conduct union business during working hours, the commanding officer may admit such representatives, provided: the presence and activities of the labor representatives will not interfere with the progress of the contract work involved; and the entry of such representatives to the installation shall not violate pertinent safety or security regulations. Commanding officers shall take all necessary action to enforce the above policy and facilitate ready access to worksites within military installations. One method which has met with success in appropriate situations is the maintenance by commanding officers of a list of labor representatives who have been cleared with regard to safety and security considerations and who may be admitted into respective installations to conduct union business. The determination as to who are appropriate labor representatives should be made by the commanding officer on recommendation of the contracting officer and after consultation with local union officials. Business offices or desk space for labor organizations for solicitation of membership, collection of dues, or other business of the labor organization not directly connected with the contract work, shall not be permitted on the installation except for the routine functions of the working steward whose union duties are incidental to the steward's assigned job. In the event that a commanding officer of an installation or the contracting officer or representative of the contracting officer denies entry to a labor representative for any reason, such officer shall notify, through channels, Headquarters DLA, ATTN: J-71. Such notification shall include the reasons for denial, including names, addresses of representatives denied entry, and union affiliation, if known, of such representatives.
