NO STRIKE/JOB ACTION PROVISION. In addition to the no strike/job action provisions and penalties in the City's Employee Relations Ordinance, the following provisions shall apply.
NO STRIKE/JOB ACTION PROVISION. In consideration of the mutual desire of the parties to promote and ensure harmonious relations and in consideration of the Mutual Pledge of Accord, the City agrees that there shall be no lockout or the equivalent of members of the Union, and the Union and its members agree that there shall be no strike or other concerted action (including, but not limited to work slowdowns, blue flu or other actions which cause employees to not perform their job during work hours to their full capacity) resulting in the withholding of service by the members during the term of this MOU and through the completion of the labor negotiations for a successor MOU (the parties acknowledge that either party can declare impasse and that doing so will constitute the completion of labor negotiations and the Union is no longer limited by this provision). Should such a strike or action by Union members occur, the Union shall immediately instruct its members to return to work. If they do not report to work immediately upon instructions of the Union, they shall be deemed to have forfeited their jobs without recourse of any kind against the City or the Union. The curtailing of operations by the City in whole or part for legitimate operational or economic reasons shall not be construed as a lockout. The provisions of this section shall not detract in any way from any restrictions imposed by law on strikes and other types of work stoppages by public employees. The Union agrees that should the aforementioned legal restrictions on strikes and work stoppages be removed, the provisions of this article shall remain in effect. The City agrees that the enactment of more stringent laws regarding Union activities shall likewise not affect the terms of this section.
