Pilot Projects. During the term of this Understanding, the parties may mutually agree to discuss changes in working conditions and operational practices that may conflict with provisions of the Understanding and/or departmental operating procedures. Such discussions are not intended to conflict with Section 8 (Finality of Recommendations) of this Understanding. It is the intent of the parties to be able to mutually agree to try out these changes through “pilot projects” of up to one year’s duration to determine how these changes work on a day-to-day basis. If such “pilot projects” are mutually agreed to by the parties, they will be implemented during the term of the Understanding. However, both parties to the Understanding reserve their respective rights under the terms and conditions of this Understanding. The parties also recognize that changes in working conditions which conflict with the Understanding and/or departmental operating procedures may trigger a duty to bargain. If such duty to bargain is triggered, the parties reserve their respective rights under Section 8 (Finality of Recommendations).
