Article 1: Recognition
Pursuant to the certification of the Employment Relations Board dated June 8, 1979, the University recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of all faculty employees described in the certification solely for the purpose of collective bargaining with respect to salaries and other terms and conditions of employment. Representation shall include those employed less than half-time (0.5 FTE) during the academic year, and those employed during summer terms who have been a member of the bargaining unit during the previous academic year.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the University or its representatives from meeting with any individual or organization to hear views on any matters; provided, however, that as to any matter which is a mandatory subject of collective bargaining or covered by a term of Agreement, any changes or modifications shall be made only through negotiations and agreement with the Union.
