Section 1-1: Purpose/Gender

Whenever  any  words  used  herein  in  the  masculine,  feminine  or  neuter,  they  shall  be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply.

A.   Recognition

The  City  recognizes the  Union  as  the  sole  and exclusive  Meet and  Confer  agent, pursuant  to  the  Meet  and  Confer  Ordinance  as  amended,  for  the  purpose  of representation regarding wages, hours, and other conditions of employment for all regular full time and regular part time employees in positions constituting Unit III, as certified  May  22,  1978,  or  as  may  be  modified  by  the  Phoenix  Employment Relations Board (PERB).

If  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  (defined  as  Arizona  Supreme  Court  or  U.  S . Supreme  Court)  determines  that  “fair  share”  does  not  violate  Arizona  State  Law, then  the  Union  and  the  City  of  Phoenix  shall  open  up  the  contract  to  bargain  in good faith on this issue.

If any conflict  exists  between the  language in  an A.R. or employment/ department rule and the language of the negotiated M.O.U., the M.O.U. shall prevail.
