FUTURE NEGOTIATING MACHINERY Sample Clauses
The "Future Negotiating Machinery" clause establishes a framework for how parties will address and negotiate issues that may arise in the future but are not fully resolved at the time of contract signing. Typically, this clause outlines procedures such as setting timelines for discussions, appointing representatives, or specifying methods for resolving disagreements on future matters like pricing adjustments, service levels, or regulatory changes. Its core function is to provide a structured process for ongoing negotiation, ensuring that both parties have a clear, agreed-upon method for handling unforeseen developments and reducing the risk of disputes or deadlock.
FUTURE NEGOTIATING MACHINERY. Agreement has been reached to establish a new national negotiating body and local negotiating committees covering each of the 32 local authorities. The national body will be tripartite and will operate on the basis of consensus. The devolution of areas of conditions of service to local negotiation will increase the capacity to develop arrangements which meet local circumstances, whilst the national body will retain responsibility for those areas of pay and conditions of service which most appropriately should be the subject of national agreement. A note of the devolved arrangements is attached at Annex F.
