Union/Management Dispute Resolution. It is the intent of this Article to provide a process by which the Union and the Employer communicate, make formal requests, or resolve any disputes as to the application or interpretation of this Agreement. THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT‌ The State of Nevada, also referred to as the “Employer,” has designated the Division of Human Resource Management, Labor Relations Unit (DHRM LRU or LRU) as its representative concerning all collective bargaining matters with all certified units on behalf of the Executive Department. Therefore, the LRU is the only State entity with the authority to engage on collective bargaining matters on behalf of the Executive Department under NRS 288. As the certified units span multiple State Departments or Divisions, no single State Department or Division has this authority absent the involvement and approval of the LRU. THE UNION‌ Units A, E, F, and I have designated the American Federation of State, County, & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) as their exclusive representative concerning all collective bargaining matters on its behalf.
