Paid Leave from Work to Vote on Election Day

Our contract allows us to take paid time away from work on the morning of election day in order to vote. Here is the language from our contract:

Article 18 Section 2c

Upon request an employee shall be granted a leave of absence with pay for:

Voting. Voting in any regularly scheduled state primary or general election or in an election to fill a vacancy in the office of U. S. Senator or U. S. Representative, or a presidential primary. This leave may only be taken in the morning of the election day.
