Term Bargaining Clause Samples
The Term Bargaining clause defines the process by which the parties negotiate and agree upon the duration and renewal terms of their contractual relationship. Typically, this clause outlines the initial term of the agreement, any options for extension, and the procedures for renegotiating or modifying the term, such as notice periods or required approvals. Its core practical function is to provide a clear framework for how long the contract will last and how changes to its duration can be handled, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential disputes over the contract's timeline.
Term Bargaining. Neither party is obligated to bargain over any matter already covered by the Agreement. The Employer shall not be permitted to modify or alter any term or provision of this Agreement without the agreement of the Union. Where a proposed action involves a mandatory subject of bargaining and is not already provided for by the Agreement, then the Employer, prior to taking such action, shall inform the Union of said proposed action prior to the date of implementation and shall meet with the Union to discuss the matter. The Employer may unilaterally implement such action after discussions have taken place. Such action must be reasonable. The union may grieve and arbitrate the reasonableness of the Employer’s decision.
