If requested by either of them, the parties will engage in good faith effects bargaining, including discussion of good faith strategies to mitigate the need for layoffs and / or the impact of layoffs; such bargaining will include discussion of 1099 vendors currently contracted; however, any such effects bargaining shall not delay the implementation of layoffs for more than thirty (30) days from the prompt commencement of effects bargaining, but not more than forty-five (45) days from EBCHR's notice to CWA, nor shall such effects bargaining require EBCHR to breach any pre-existing contract(s) with 1099 vendors. Nothing herein is intended to limit the topics covered in effects bargaining, both mandatory and permissive, e.g., COBRA, recall from layoff, seniority, breaks in service, severance pay, etc.
