ARTICLE 18

SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

Section 1.  Waiver of Bargaining Rights and Amendments to Agreement.

These Articles of Agreement constitute the total agreement between the two parties.  All other Agreements and understandings between the Company and the Union are rescinded.  Therefore, the Company and the Union, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject not specifically referred to or covered in this Agreement, even though such subject or matter may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they negotiated or signed this Agreement.  Each party waives any obligation during the term of this Agreement to negotiate further or bargain collectively about any subject or matter which is specifically referred to or covered by this Agreement, provided, however, that grievances will be processed and resolved pursuant to the provisions of the grievance/arbitration procedure.  Furthermore, the parties agree that any amendments, changes, or qualified exceptions shall be by an instrument in writing and duly signed by the parties hereto.

Section 2.  Separability.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is, at any time during the life of this Agreement, adjudged by a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be in conflict with any law, such term or provision shall become invalid and unenforceable, but such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair or affect any other term or provision of this Agreement.

 

Signed this 11th day of January, 2007.
