WAIVER CLAUSE The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject matter not removed by law from the area of collective bargaining, and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in the Agreement. Therefore, the Employer and the Association, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered in this Agreement, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time that they negotiated or signed this Agreement.
RECOGNITION CLAUSE The Employer agrees to recognize the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all employees in the bargaining units as so certified by the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) for the purpose of establishing wages, hours and conditions of employment. If PERC certifies the Union as the exclusive representative during the term of this Agreement for a bargaining unit in general government, the terms of this Agreement apply.
