Common use of Contract Maintenance Clause in Contracts

Contract Maintenance. Representatives of the Employer and the Association may, upon mutual agreement, meet on the last workday of each month for the purpose of reviewing the administration of the contract and to resolve problems that may arise. These meetings are not intended to bypass the grievance procedure. Each party will submit to the other, on or before the Friday prior to the meeting, an agenda covering what they wish to discuss. Should such a meeting result in a mutually acceptable amendment to the Agreement, then the amendment shall be subject to ratification by the employer and the Association.
