Reorganization 9-6<br />

If the union demands bargaining, management must bargain in good faith<br />

until reaching either impasse or resolution (agreement). The importance of<br />

this matter to the affected union is great. Therefore, management must be<br />

willing to meet a reasonable number of times (at least several) and keep an<br />

open mind to issues raised and suggestions made by the union. While it is<br />

difficult to generalize, a department which learns at a spring town meeting<br />

that its budget has been cut should be prepared to commence negotiations<br />

promptly thereafter if it hopes to implement changes at the start of the next<br />

fiscal year (July 1). Labor counsel should be consulted concerning what<br />

role, if any, the Joint Labor-<strong>Management</strong> Committee might be expected to<br />

play, especially if regular contract negotiations are underway at the same<br />

time.<br />
