WHILE NEGOTIATIONS ARE IN SESSION Sample Clauses

The "While Negotiations Are in Session" clause defines the rights and obligations of the parties during the period when formal negotiations are ongoing. Typically, this clause may require both parties to maintain the status quo, refrain from taking certain actions such as strikes, lockouts, or changes to working conditions, or continue honoring existing agreements until negotiations conclude. Its core practical function is to ensure stability and prevent disruptions during the negotiation process, allowing both sides to focus on reaching a new agreement without external pressures or unilateral changes.
