Negotiation Impasse. When the parties cannot agree on a negotiable matter the item shall initially be tabled for later consideration. After all negotiable items on which agreement can be reached have been finalized, the parties shall again attempt to resolve the previously tabled items. If at that point the parties are still unable to reach agreement, then an Impasse shall be declared. Either or both parties may seek the service of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). When the services of mediation do not resolve the Impasse, either party may seek the services of the Federal Services Impasses Panel (FSIP).
