Common use of Waiver by Union Clause in Contracts

Waiver by Union. The prohibitions of this Article are intended to apply regardless of the motivation for the strike or other conduct. By way of illustration only, this Article expressly prohibits (1) sympathy strikes (individual or concerted failure to cross a picket line established by another labor organization or by members of another bargaining unit); (2) strikes over disputes that are not subject to arbitration; and (3) strikes in protest of alleged violations of state or federal law. Any statutory right under the NLRA which the employee may otherwise have to engage in such conduct is hereby expressly waived by the Union. Provided, nothing in this Article will forbid a refusal to work protected by the Occupational Safety and Health Act or prohibit the Union from providing financial or other support to another labor organization engaged in a strike against any other employer away from the Hospital’s premises.
