CIM MOU Section 31.2
The 20 Items: Section 30.2 lists the 20 Items that the parties may discuss during the period of local implementation. The local parties are required to discuss any of these items which are raised by either party. This means that if one party raises one of the listed items, the other must discuss it in good faith. These are “mandatory subjects” of discussion if raised during the period of local implementation. The local parties are free to discuss other subject areas as well, but neither party is required to discuss subjects other than the 20 items listed in Section 30.2. See further the discussion of the September 21, 1981 National Arbitration Award by Arbitrator R. Mittenthal under Section 30.3A below.
