Exclusive Negotiations The State will not bargain collectively or meet with any employee organization other than MSEA-SEIU with reference to terms and conditions of employment of employees covered by this Agreement. If any such organizations request meetings they will be advised by the State to transmit their requests concerning terms and conditions of employment to MSEA-SEIU.
Release Time for Negotiations CSEA shall have the right to designate a maximum of six (6) employees, who shall be given reasonable release time to participate in negotiations.
Contract Negotiations Where operational requirements permit, and on reasonable notice, the Employer shall grant special leave with pay for not more than two (2) representatives of each bargaining unit for the purpose of attending contract negotiation meetings with the Employer on behalf of the Union. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Intent of Agreement 3.1 Execution of this Agreement is a representation that the Contractor has carefully examined the Contract Documents and the site, and represents that the Contractor shall become familiar with the nature and location of each Project, the Worksite, the specific conditions under which the Services are to be performed, and all matters which may in any way affect the Work or its performance. The Contractor further represents that, as a result of such examinations and investigations, the Contractor thoroughly understands the Contract Documents and their intent and purpose, and is familiar with all applicable codes, ordinances, laws, regulations and rules as they apply to the Work, and that the Contractor will abide by same. Claims for additional time or additional compensation as a result of the Contractor’s failure to follow the foregoing procedure and to familiarize itself with all local conditions and the Contract Documents will not be permitted. 3.2 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Project by the Contractor. Contract Documents are complimentary, and what is required by any one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonable inferable from them as being necessary to produce the intended results. 3.3 In the event of conflicting provisions in the specifications or the Drawings, the more specific provision will take precedence over the less specific; the more stringent will take precedence over the less stringent; and the more expensive item will take precedence over the less expensive. On all Drawings, figures take precedence over scaled dimensions. 3.4 Organization of the specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and the arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade. 3.5 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings. 3.6 In the event of any conflict between the Contract Documents or any ambiguity or missing specification or instruction, the following priority is hereby established: 3.6.1 Specific written direction from the City Manager or City Manager’s designee. 3.6.2 This Agreement.
INTENT AND PURPOSE The Employer and the Union each represent that the purpose and the intent of this Agreement is to promote cooperation and harmony, to recognize mutual interests, to provide a channel through which information and problems may be transmitted from one to the other, to formulate rules to govern the relationship between the Union and the Employer, to promote efficiency and service, and to set forth herein the basic agreements covering rates of pay, hours of work, and conditions of employment.
Other Negotiations Following the date hereof and until termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, Target will not (and it will not permit any of its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates on its behalf to) take any action to solicit, initiate, seek, encourage or support any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any negotiations with, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group (other than Acquiror) regarding any acquisition of Target, any merger or consolidation with or involving Target, or any acquisition of any material portion of the stock or assets of Target or any material license of Target Proprietary Rights (any of the foregoing being referred to in this Agreement as an "ACQUISITION TRANSACTION") or enter into an agreement concerning any Acquisition Transaction with any party other than Acquiror. If between the date of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, Target receives from a third party any offer or indication of interest regarding any Acquisition Transaction, or any request for information regarding any Acquisition Transaction, Target shall (i) notify Acquiror immediately (orally and in writing) of such offer, indication of interest or request, including the identity of such party and the full terms of any proposal therein, and (ii) notify such third party of Target's obligations under this Agreement.
Further Negotiations In case where a Party offers, after the entry into force of this Agreement, to non-Party additional advantages with regard to its government procurement market access coverage agreed under this Chapter, it shall agree, upon request of the other Party, to enter into negotiations with a view to extending coverage under this Chapter on a reciprocal basis.
Future Negotiations If at any time prior to termination of this Amendment the Custodian as a matter of standard business practice, accepts delegation as Foreign Custody Manager for its U.S. mutual fund clients on terms materially different than set forth in this Amendment, the Custodian hereby agrees to negotiate with the fund in good faith with respect thereto.
Mutual Negotiations This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.
Leave for Negotiations Members of the MSEA-SEIU bargaining team (whose numbers shall not exceed three (3) for each unit plus the President and/or Vice President of MSEA-SEIU) shall suffer no loss in pay or benefits for participation in negotiations for a successor Agreement. Additionally, leave may be requested for other members necessary for participation on specific negotiations issues and such leave shall not be unreasonably denied. MSEA-SEIU shall give reasonable notice to the Office of Employee Relations of the names of those bargaining team members who will be attending particular bargaining sessions. MSEA-SEIU recognizes that exceptional circumstances might preclude the release of an individual on a particular day. The Office of Employee Relations will notify affected agencies of those individuals designated or otherwise requested to be made available on particular dates for participation in negotiations and will inform those agencies of the day, or days, when negotiations will take place. No additional compensation shall be paid if negotiations extend beyond the end of an employee's normal work hours. However, a good faith effort shall be made to schedule non-standard workweek employees so that their days off shall not fall on days of negotiations. Any designated employee who has a State vehicle assigned shall be allowed to use the vehicle while traveling to and from negotiations. Such employee shall be considered to be in duty status and shall have their uniform available for necessary use.
