CIM Section 38.2F

Meeting frequency is determined by the complement of bargaining unit employees, including MHAs, in each office. Additionally, it is important that the time requirements for exchange of agenda items be adhered to so that full consideration can be given to submitted items. If agenda items do not warrant a regularly scheduled meeting, the parties can mutually agree to discuss issues of concern.

Question: As a general rule, should management respond to all issues discussed at meetings of the labor-management committees?

Answer: Yes. To maintain good labor-management relations, it is necessary for management to make every effort to respond to all issues discussed at labor- management committee meetings in as short a time as it practical.
