Common use of RE-OPENER DURING TERM OF AGREEMENT Clause in Contracts

RE-OPENER DURING TERM OF AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the above, the parties agree that either party may make a written request to reopen the Agreement for negotiations over wages and benefits consistent with Article 14 Economics up to sixty (60) days following Employer's receipt of written notification by an official and authoritative representative of Washington's Government reporting the specific scope of scheduled changes (i.e., increase or decrease) to the Medicaid skilled nursing facility rate net of any provider tax. Since numerous historical examples exist of Washington's Government Representatives announcing scheduled Medicaid rate changes and then failing to implement such changes as specifically announced, the parties agree that any wages and/or benefit change agreement negotiated through the foregoing re-opener provision shall not be effective until Employer actually receives the rate change as specifically promised by the official and authoritative representative of Washington's Government. During bargaining for economic reopeners, the provisions of Article 27 No-Strike Clause shall not apply, except for negotiations over health insurance between the Employer and Union during 2015.
