The Chief Negotiator representing the district is recommended by the Superintendent to the Board of Directors and may be either the Superintendent or an appointed staff member. The negotiator shall advise and inform the Management Board of the progress of the negotiations and shall negotiate within the parameters set by the Committee. Chief Negotiator agreements are binding only if they have been formally approved by the committee. There are 10 collective bargaining groups representing all employees in the district: In addition, council believes that all collective bargaining sessions involving collective bargaining between the district and one of its unions will be open to the public to avoid the potential printing of secret agreements and reduce the amount of misinformation during negotiations during negotiations. Opening collective bargaining to the public does not mean that the public will participate in the negotiations, or that they will be allowed to speak, contribute or contribute during the negotiations, and that they may be removed from office if they disrupt the negotiations. Public respect for collective bargaining does not prevent collective bargaining representatives of both parties from (i) meeting separately and in private to discuss negotiating tactics, objectives and methods, and (ii) separately and privately for dispute resolution purposes (e.g.B. mediation). The Council recognizes that both parties must be willing to participate in open negotiations and calls on the administration to proceed with negotiations behind closed doors if a negotiating group is not ready to conduct open negotiations together. The Board of Directors fosters and promotes a good and fair working relationship with district employees. The Council recognizes the right of public personnel to join and be represented by workers` organizations of their choice in negotiations on these matters and in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law or contract by the parties. Council considers that all documents exchanged between the parties involved in the negotiations – both the district and the union – will be immediately made available to the public through a website run by the district in order to avoid the potential impression of secret business and to reduce the amount of misinformation during the negotiations. The Commission recognizes that collective agreements are among the most expensive contracts negotiated by the district and that taxpayers and workers deserve to know how they are represented in collective bargaining.
