Common use of Renegotiation Period Clause in Contracts

Renegotiation Period. With the aim of avoiding protracted negotiations for a new agreement, the CPSU and the State of Victoria agree to a renegotiation period. The renegotiation period shall be from 1 July 2019 until 1 December 2019. The aim of the renegotiation period is to permit a new agreement to be reached in 2019. To meet this objective, the CPSU and the State of Victoria agree that: Each will provide any proposals for change to the agreement by 1 July 2019. They will meet regularly to progress negotiations in good faith. In this connection, small working groups may be established to examine particular areas of disagreement. The person/s responsible for negotiating will bring with them the necessary authority to finalise an agreement. Where agreement is not reached by October 2019, the parties will discuss whether they should seek the assistance of a mutually agreed conciliator or the FWC. This does not prevent the parties seeking assistance, by agreement, on any individual issue which is creating an impasse. Should conciliation be sought, then the parties to the conciliation may agree to an extension to the negotiation period. During this period the CPSU and the State of Victoria will not act in a manner that is designed to frustrate good faith bargaining.
