Chapter 4117. The City shall notify the Union within fourteen (14) calendar days of the establishment of any such classification and the parties shall meet for the purpose of determining whether the position shall be included in the bargaining unit. If the parties are unable to agree whether the position is to be included in the bargaining unit, the Union may petition the State Employment Relations Board to seek its inclusion. If any new positions become a part of the bargaining unit, the parties shall meet to negotiate wage rates for these positions. The procedures of Chapter 4117 of the Ohio Revised Code shall apply to these negotiations.
Chapter 4117. The Employer further agrees that work rules, policies and procedures shall be interpreted and applied uniformly under similar circumstances within the group or groups of employees to whom such are directed.
Chapter 4117. The Union has sole exclusive bargaining rights under this agreement with respect to those mandatory subjects of bargaining as defined under O.R.C. Chapter 4117. Either party may request mediation in the event the parties are unable to reach agreement on a successor labor-management agreement. It is understood by the Employer and the Union that mediation is nonbinding. The Union recognizes the Fire Chief as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the Township.
Chapter 4117. 4. The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the Board from all costs, losses, expenses and damages in the event of any controversy, legal or otherwise, which may arise out of the application of this provision.
