Re: Is It Really That Bad? Most of the old contract remains in force during the bargaining period. Some provisions (such as the use of arbitration to resolve grievance issues) usually cease to apply. If a bargaining impasse is reached, then old contract rules are no longer in force. Strict labor-law definitions apply to the terms just used.
NLRB recognition of these guidelines is not a guarantee that they will be adhered to. There are no labor-negotiation police that step in to correct an offending party. Transgressions must be addressed in the court system. You know, where he who has the most lawyers wins |
