most of those benefits are set by the company
as a union representative, i negotiated everything except wage rates and benefits ... those were established by congress
the employee handbook says x, and that is what you get unless you negotiate separately
not with most unions. normally, there will be a job description and an associated wage rate
of course, the employee who prefers to negotiate for him/herself is free to instead apply at a non-union company
i have one employee that gets 6 weeks off a year.....he visits family in the middle east
under a union shop arrangement, that might also be possible, however, you would negotiate that unique provision as a principle, that could be applied to other employees who fit the circumstance, and not for a specific named employee
while you are inquiring about the approach to your two labor-standards impacted managers, you may want to also ask HR if this specifically named vacation recipient exposes your company to any potential EEOC litigation under race, age, and/or religious bases
i have another who negotiated pay for 3 months maternity, not the normal 6 weeks
as above, possible, but only with defined criteria, not a named employee. this unique circumstance
may also be one that places you in jeopardy of a title 7 action for disparate treatment of women. would encourage you to broach HR about it
in today's world, most of those things are covered in every companies handbook (at least any company over 100 people)
a handbook of conditions of employment negotiated by the employees' union representative and management's representative ... for any union shop
such unilateral determinations should never be found acceptable by any competent labor rep
so other than really salary/wage there isnt a whole lot to go through
in a union shop, you would go thru all of it
now, kudos to you, for operating a company that apparently has not had its employees feel the need to elect a bargaining unit representative
if employees feel they are being treated fairly, they have no reason to seek union help
