Common use of The Employer and the Clause in Contracts

The Employer and the. Union recognize that a strike would create a clear and present danger to the health and safety of the public and that the Agreement referred to in Article 1.01 provides machinery for the orderly resolution of grievances. The Parties, therefore, agree that during the term of such Agreement the Union shall not authorize, cause, engage in, sanction or assist in any sick call, work stoppage, strike, sympathy strike or slowdown which affects the Employer or its operations. Should any employee(s) engage in a sick call, work stoppage, strike, sympathy strike or slowdown, the Union will promptly do whatever it can to prevent or stop such unauthorized acts, including the preparation of a letter addressed to the Employer stating “that such action is not sanctioned by the Union and that all employees should and have been advised to return to work immediately.” The letter shall be signed by the highest ranking local Union officer.
