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.
