Common use of INTEGRITY OF AGREEMENT Clause in Contracts

INTEGRITY OF AGREEMENT. The parties acknowledge the dynamic and changing environment for legislative and administrative regulation of the Employer’s industry, the energy industry. It is in the mutual interests of the parties by entering this Agreement to stabilize terms and conditions of employment despite the legislative and regulatory environment. The parties do not intend to deprive each other of the rights, privileges and mutual obligations of this Agreement by utilization of legislative and/or administrative processes. If the Union takes actions in legislative and/or administrative arenas that the Employer believes will deprive the Employer or its employees of the rights, privileges, and/or mutual obligations of this Agreement, the Union agrees to bargain in good faith with the Employer over the effects of the Union’s actions. In the event the parties cannot resolve the Employer’s concerns through bargaining, the Employer may seek relief through arbitration under Article 22 or through an action in any other forum with appropriate jurisdiction, at the Employer’s option, to seek modification, reformation, or recession of the Agreement, in whole or in part, to address the Union’s actions. The Employer does not have to exhaust the grievance procedure or complete bargaining prior to seeking relief in any forum of appropriate jurisdiction. Under this provision, neither party waives the constitutional right to engage in legislative and/or administrative processes. Effects bargaining, or any ensuing action under this provision, are only intended to preserve the parties’ rights, privileges and/or mutual obligations covered by this Agreement. The provisions of Article 21 (No-Strike) will apply throughout resolution of any issue under this Article.
