LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEES. The parties will establish Labor-Management Relations Committees (LMRCs) in accordance with the provisions of this Article. They will give consideration to: areas of pre-decisional input; the prevention and resolution of misunderstandings and grievances; working conditions, personnel policies and practices; the promotion of good employee- supervisor relationships; the strengthening of morale; etc. All LMRCs are solely for the purpose of exchanging views and information and shall be deemed a supplement to negotiations as defined by the Civil Service Reform Act, not a substitute. However, the parties recognize that issues unresolved in these meetings potentially can be addressed in grievances, mid-term bargaining and other traditional representational forums.
LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEES. Section 1. The Department agrees to meet with 10 designated representatives annually to discuss and work towards resolution on items of concern to the parties. The Department agrees to review those items that can not be resolved at the meeting with the intent of future resolution. Local issues are more appropriately addressed at the local level.
LABOR-MANAGEMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEES. Section 1 - Purpose and Function The Union and Management recognize that the participation of bar- gaining unit employees in the formulation and implementation of their conditions of employment affects their well being and enhances the efficient administration of the Government. To this end, Union and Management mutually recognize and endorse the involvement of affected employees and their representatives in the development of De- partmental and Agency programs, policies, and practices. The parties further recognize that the entrance into a formal collective bargaining agreement with each other is but one act leading toward a constructive labor-management relationship and that the success of a labor-manage- ment relationship is further assured if a forum is available and used to communicate with each other during the life of the agreement. The Department and the NCFLL, therefore, agree to continue and im- prove upon both the National Labor-Management Relations Committee and Regional Labor-Management Relations Committees for the purpose of exchanging information and discussing matters of mutual concern or interest in the broad area of personnel policy and practices and other matters affecting working conditions. The parties will strive to have these committees be an effective forum for meaningful dialogue and exchanges in a manner that will benefit both labor and management and promote an effective and efficient government.
