Common use of CITY SECURITY Clause in Contracts

CITY SECURITY. Section 3.1. The Union and its members, as individuals or as a group, guarantee they will not initiate, cause, permit, participate or join in any strike, work stoppage or slowdowns, picketing or any other interruption of City services. Employees in the bargaining unit, while acting in the course of their normal duties, will not honor any picket line established by the Union or by any other labor organization when called upon to cross such picket line unless personal safety is in immediate jeopardy. Disciplinary action, including discharge, may be taken by the City at any time against any employee or employees engaged in violation of this article. Such disciplinary action shall not preclude or restrict recourse to any other remedies, including an action for damages, which may be available to the City. Section 3.2. In the event of a strike, work stoppage, slowdown, picketing, observance of a picket line or other restriction of work in any form, either on the basis of individual choice or collective employee conduct, the Union will make every reasonable effort to secure an immediate and orderly return to work. The obligations set forth above shall not be affected or limited to the subject matter involved in the dispute giving rise to the work action or by whether such subject matter is or is not subject to the grievance procedures of this Agreement. Section 3.3. The City agrees during the term of this contract that lockouts of employees shall not be instituted. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to guarantee employees a forty (40) hour workweek. Section 3.4. In the event the parties enter into negotiations during the term of the Agreement for the purpose of modifying wages, it is understood that the City and the Union and its members are not bound by the provisions contained herein prohibiting strike or lockout, so long as the appropriate procedures and laws governing collective bargaining are followed. Section 3.5. Members will not be required to perform the duties of employees of another public agency while that agency is engaged in a strike recognized by the Union unless such duties are necessary to maintain City services or equipment, maintain the City’s obligations to another agency under a current practice or existing contract, or where, in the City’s sole judgment, such duties are necessary due to an emergency where there is a threat to public health or safety within the Corvallis area.
