STRIKE PLEDGE Clause Samples
A Strike Pledge clause establishes a formal commitment by one or more parties not to initiate or participate in a strike or work stoppage during the term of an agreement. Typically found in collective bargaining agreements, this clause applies to unionized employees and ensures that labor disputes are resolved through negotiation or arbitration rather than industrial action. Its core practical function is to maintain workplace stability and uninterrupted operations by preventing strikes, thereby protecting both employer interests and the continuity of business activities.

Job action will be defined as job action taken by on-duty personnel only. The Union agrees that such action would constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of a strike, slowdown, walkout or other job action, it is covenanted and agreed that participating in any such activity by any employee covered under the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed grounds for disciplinary action subject to the provisions of Article XXXVII of this Agreement. The employees agree to comply with the existing laws of the State of New Jersey prohibiting public employees from striking or taking any other concerted action designed to illegally obstruct or disable the proper functions of the Board. Furthermore, the Union agrees not to initiate, authorize, or participate in any strike. Upon written request and with reasonable notice, an employee shall be permitted to review and examine his personnel file in the presence of an appropriate representative of the Board. Reasonable requests from the employee for copies of documents in the file shall be honored. If any material, derogatory or adverse to the employee is placed in his personnel file, a copy of such material shall be sent to the employee. No document of anonymous origin against an employee shall be eligible for the personnel file. Employees shall have the right to rebut any derogatory materials in their files. Copies of any written documents, relating to discipline or the work performance of any employee, which are to be used by the Board in any disciplinary proceedings, grievance hearings, or evaluation report, shall be given to the employee upon reasonable request.
