Common use of Unit Clarification Clause in Contracts

Unit Clarification. The Union will be predecisionally involved in bargaining unit determinations for position changes and establishment of new positions. When a position changes, and the parties do not agree over whether the position(s) is/are inside or outside the unit, the parties are encouraged to utilize the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) process. If still unresolved, either party may file a Clarification of Unit (CU) petition with the FLRA. If the position previously has been in the bargaining unit, the employee and/or position will remain in the bargaining unit until a decision is issued on the petition. If after predecisional involvement, the Department determines that a new, unencumbered position is outside the bargaining unit, the parties are encouraged to first attempt to resolve any disagreements through ADR methods. If no agreement is reached, the Union may file a CU petition through the FLRA. The Department and the Union are encouraged to mutually decide CU issues and develop a system to communicate these decisions.
