Common use of Responsibilities of the Union Clause in Contracts

Responsibilities of the Union. Recognizing the crucial role of the CITY in the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare of a free society, the UNION agrees that it will take all reasonable steps to cause the employees covered by this agreement, individually and collectively, to perform all of their assigned duties, rendering loyal and efficient service to the very best of their abilities. The UNION, therefore, agrees that there shall be no interruption of these services for any cause whatsoever by the employees it represent; nor shall there be any concerted failure by them to report for duty; nor shall they absent themselves from their work or abstain, in whole or in part, from the full, faithful, and proper performance of all the duties of their employment. The UNION further agrees that it shall not encourage any strikes, sit-downs, stay-ins, slow downs, stoppages of work, malingering, or any acts that interfere in any manner or to any degree with the continuity of all CITY services during the term of this agreement.
