. . . REOPENER
Department of the Treasury,
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington, D.C. and Chapter 201,
National Treasury Employees Union, Case No. 99 FSIP 96, November
24, 1999 (Release No. 426).
The UNION proposed that it
[NTEU] be allowed to reopen negotiations on the gainsharing policy
during July 2000.
The AGENCY proposed the following:
1. The NTEU may reopen and
renegotiate the gainsharing policy at the end of the calendar
year 2000. Such reopening, if any, will not count as one of the
three issues that can be reopened pursuant to the contractual
mid-term reopener clause. Such opening would be limited strictly
to gainsharing. 2. Therefore, the Union would be free to reopen
the awards article of the contract pursuant to mid-term reopener
clause; however, the parties will not in any way disturb the good
faith agreement reached or imposed in gainsharing negotiations
described in No. 1 above.
The PANEL ordered the parties
to adopt the AGENCY's proposal.
