Common use of NO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT PLEDGE Clause in Contracts

NO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT PLEDGE. The Union covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement, neither the Union nor any person acting in its behalf will cause, authorize, support or engage in any strike by the Union (e.g., the concerted failure to report for duty or willful absence of any Employees from their positions or stoppage of work or abstinence, in whole or in part, from the full, faithful and proper performance of the Employee's duties of employment), work stoppage, slowdown, walkout, or other job action against the Authority. The Union agrees that such action would constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The Union will actively discourage and will take whatever affirmative steps are necessary to prevent or terminate any strike, work stoppage, slowdown, walkout or other job action against the Authority by its members, such as requiring them to work in their supervisory capacities during any labor dispute resulting in a work stoppage, slow-down, sick-in, etc., or in a case of emergency. The Authority agrees that it will not engage in a lockout or other similar action because of any proposed changes in the Agreement or disputes over matters relating to this Agreement. Nothing in this Article shall be interpreted to waive or modify the parties obligations under the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Act.
