COMMON GOALS. The Employer and the Union recognize the importance of settling disagreements and disputes promptly, fairly, and in an orderly manner that will maintain the self respect of the employee and be consistent with the principles of good management. To accomplish this, every effort will be made to settle grievances expeditiously and at the lowest level of supervision. The Parties encourage development of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a cost effective and timely method of solving grievances. The parties will negotiate ADR procedures locally.
COMMON GOALS. The Parties have a shared vision to promote the establishment of a well-developed infrastructure for electric vehicles in Copenhagen as per January 1st, 2012. To make this happen the Parties agree to: • work together in a structured process in an attempt to solve issues which prevent such infrastructure from being designed, installed and put into operation • have an ongoing dialogue in order to be pro-active and prepared to accommodate electric vehicles in Copenhagen
COMMON GOALS. 1:01 a) The Board and Teachers agree that this Collective Agreement shall be applied in a manner which fully supports the basic equality of all staff.
COMMON GOALS. A. The USCG and the NOAA/NWS have as a common mission, the protection of life and property for mariners on the Great Lakes, the coastal waters of the U.S. and its territories, and various oceanic areas as determined by U.S. participation in WMO and IMO. In this regard, the agencies complement each other with NOAA/NWS issuing forecasts and warnings and USCG disseminating safety information including weather information. It is the common goal of our agencies to accomplish these missions effectively and efficiently.
B. In the course of fulfilling their assigned missions, USCG personnel must routinely deal with adverse weather conditions. It is the common goal of our agencies to ensure USCG field personnel and the civil maritime community have sufficient and timely weather information necessary for the safe and successful accomplishment of these missions.
C. The probability of accurate weather forecasts is enhanced by timely, consistent, and accurate observations. The vast size of the water areas, the lack of natural observational platforms, and the difficulty and cost of maintaining manmade platforms in often harsh environments inhibit such observations in maritime areas. It is the common goal of our agencies to improve the accuracy and timeliness of marine forecasts and warnings through accurate and timely weather observations. It is also a common goal of our agencies to have manually collected and disseminated observations be eventually replaced by automated systems at all USCG land and ship facilities.
COMMON GOALS. It is the intent of the Agency and Union to have open discussions about disagreements in the workplace, to treat such matters seriously, and to cooperate in the spirit of mutual problem-solving to resolve disputes. Since grievances often arise from misunderstandings that can be settled promptly and satisfactorily on an informal basis, the Agency and Union will encourage potential grievants to discuss their complaints with the responsible management or Union officials at the lowest level before filing a written grievance. The Union, if requested by the employee, has the right to participate either personally or telephonically in such discussions with management officials. However, informal efforts may not lead to resolution. The Agency shall not construe the filing of grievances as reflecting unfavorably on an employee’s good standing, performance, loyalty, or desirability to the organization, nor shall the Union or employees file grievances in order to affect adversely the perception of the person or reputation of any representative of the Agency.
