Common use of SCOPE, WAIVER AND ALTERATION OF AGREEMENT Clause in Contracts

SCOPE, WAIVER AND ALTERATION OF AGREEMENT. A. The Union and District recognize that strikes and other forms of work stoppages by employees are contrary to law and public policy. The Union and the District subscribe to the principle that differences shall be resolved by peaceful and appropriate means without interruption of the school program. The Union, therefore, agrees that its officers, representatives and members shall not authorize, instigate, cause, aid, encourage, ratify or condone, nor shall any employee take part in any strike, slowdown or stoppage of work, boycott, picketing or other interruption of activities in the school system. Failure or refusal on the part of any employee to comply with the provisions of this Article shall be cause for whatever disciplinary action is deemed necessary by the District. B. The District agrees it will not lock out employees during the term of this agreement. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit the District from sending employees home during a strike by another labor group or by the Union and/or certain of its members in violation of Section A. C. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire existing Agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior practices that are inconsistent with this agreement, whether oral or written, and expresses all obligations of, and restrictions imposed upon, the district and the Union. This Agreement is subject to amendment, alteration or additions, only by a subsequent written agreement between, and executed by, the District and the Union. The waiver of any breach, term or condition of the Agreement by either party shall not constitute a precedent in the future enforcement of all its terms and conditions. D. If any Article or Section of this Agreement or any supplements thereto should be held invalid by operation of law or by any competent jurisdiction or tribunal, or is compliance with enforcement of any Article or Section should be restrained by such tribunal, the remainder of the Article shall not be effected thereby, and the parties shall enter into immediate collective bargaining negotiations for the purpose of arriving at a mutually satisfactory replacement for such Article or Section.
