The Employer hereby recognizes District 1199, The Health Care and Social Service Union, Service Employees International Union, AFL-CIO, as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the purpose of collective bargaining on all matters pertaining to wages, hours, terms and other conditions of employment for employees in the bargaining units.  The bargaining units for which this recognition is accorded are defined in the Certification issued by the State Employment Relations Board on October 10, 1985 (Case No. 85-RC-04-3295) and November 22, 1985 (Case No. 85-RC-04-3713).

This Agreement includes all employees employed in the classifications and positions listed in Appendix A of this Agreement.  The Employer shall notify the Union of any changes in the classification plan sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the change or as soon as the changes become known to the Employer, whichever occurs first.

In the event of a dispute between the parties as to future inclusions or exclusions from the units resulting from the establishment of new or changed classifications or titles, either party to this Agreement may apply to the State Employment Relations Board for resolution of the dispute.

The Employer recognizes the integrity of the bargaining units and will not take action for the sole purpose of eroding the bargaining units.
