JOINT LABOR RELATIONS COMMITTEE. To facilitate communications between the County and the Union and to promote a climate conducive to constructive employee relations, a joint labor relations committee shall be established to discuss problems of mutual concern such as, but not limited to, training, manpower, or conditions of employment. The union members shall consist of the Union Executive Committee. The County members shall consist of the Sheriff, the Undersheriff and any non-bargaining unit person selected by the Sheriff. Committee meetings shall be held upon the request of either party. The time, date, and location of such meeting shall be made in advance with an agenda being submitted at least one (1) week prior to the mutually agreed upon date.
