PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESSES Clause Samples

The PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESSES clause establishes a structured method for the parties to address and resolve disputes or issues that arise during the course of their agreement. Typically, this clause outlines specific steps such as negotiation, mediation, or escalation to higher management before resorting to formal legal action. For example, it may require both parties to meet within a set timeframe to discuss the problem in good faith or to involve a neutral third party if initial discussions fail. The core function of this clause is to encourage collaborative resolution of conflicts, minimize disruptions, and avoid costly or time-consuming litigation by providing a clear, step-by-step framework for addressing disagreements.
PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESSES. This Agreement contains three different problem-solving processes, each with a different purpose. The first is the Issue Resolution process. Issue Resolution is used in conjunction with Corrective Action, and to problem solve any department issue in an interest- based, rather than in a more traditional, adversarial manner. For most practical purposes, this is the problem-solving process that will be used most by the parties on a local level. The second problem-solving process is a Partnership Review Process. This is a specific process designed to problem solve only disputes or differences of interpretation of Section 1 of the Agreement and certain designated provisions of Sections 2 and 3. The third process was designed specifically to address disputes or differences of interpretation of all other provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of the Agreement. This process is found at the end of Section 2.
