Bargaining State Mandates Sample Clauses
The Bargaining State Mandates clause establishes that the parties to an agreement must comply with any state laws or regulations that require certain terms or conditions to be included in their bargaining process. This clause typically applies to contracts involving public sector employees or entities operating in states with specific labor negotiation requirements, ensuring that the agreement reflects mandatory provisions such as minimum wage standards, dispute resolution procedures, or employee rights. Its core function is to ensure legal compliance and prevent the contract from violating state-imposed bargaining obligations, thereby reducing the risk of unenforceable or unlawful terms.
Bargaining State Mandates. If new state mandates appear to conflict with the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, either party may initiate negotiations by notifying the other party of the specific provisions of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement that are to be bargained. The parties will negotiate for fifteen (15) days after the initial contact unless the fifteen (15) day deadline is extended by mutual agreement. If no agreement is reached, a final offer binding arbitration may be requested by mutual agreement. If no agreement to request arbitration is reached, then the Collective Bargaining Agreement remains unchanged and the issue will be a mandatory subject of bargaining at the next contract re-opener.
