Collaborative Problem Solving. In order to be able to address issues as they arise in a collegial, productive manner, the parties agree to a process for collaborative discussions between representatives of the College and the MCCEA for the duration of this Contract. When requested by either Management or the Union, a meeting(s) will be held to present problems with Contract language as it now stands. A small group would then be designated to explore possible solutions. The small group would be comprised of representatives chosen by each side. At least one on each side, and possibly all, would be members of the bargaining teams. 1. Within the small group, the first task would be to verify whether a problem exists. If the group agrees there is sufficient evidence of a problem, the next task would be to obtain objective data: who is affected, how many, what is the cost to the College or to individuals, etc. 2. After obtaining and reviewing all relevant data, the small group would brainstorm possible solutions. After evaluating the pros and cons of various solutions, the best one or ones would be presented to the full group. The entire group would discuss the proposed solution(s) and their ramifications until they reached agreement. 3. Proposed changes in contract language would be taken to Faculty and Management for ratification as necessary. It is expected that the parties will mutually develop further operating guidelines for this process as situations warrant.
