PEACEFUL RELATIONS. Section 1. Continuous and uninterrupted operations by the District and orderly collective bargaining relations between the Employer and the Union to secure prompt and fair disposition of disputes and grievances being essential considerations of this Agreement, it is agreed that the Union and its members, individually and collectively, will not, during the terms of this Agreement call, permit, sanction, take part in, or assist in: (a) any strike, sympathetic or otherwise, including work stoppages, or slow-downs; (b) honoring of any picket line or strike by any other Union, organization or individual against the District, unless the reason for honoring the picket line is serious and imminent physical danger, in which event the employee shall have the burden of proving the actual existence of such danger. Section 2. The Employer shall have the absolute right to discharge or otherwise discipline any individual employee or group of employees who violate Section 1 of this Article. Such discipline may be grieved and arbitrated, but the arbitrator shall have no authority to mitigate or reduce the discipline unless the arbitrator finds that there was no violation of Section 1. If such a violation occurred, then the grievance must be denied in its entirety. If the violation did not occur, then (and only then) may the arbitrator fashion an appropriate remedy. Section 3. In the event there is an alleged violation of Section 1 of this Article, the Union shall immediately inform every employee in writing, with a copy to the Employer, that such activity is unauthorized by the Union, that such activity is in violation of this Agreement, and that such activity in and of itself, is cause for discharge as defined in Section 2 above.
