There is no barganing for 2 years so yes it stops all barganing for 2 years. Do you have proof no contracts happen in that 2 years?
I thought anyone that claimed to be a shop steward in the past would realize that whatever contract is in effect at the time the freeze goes into effect, stays in effect. The only thing that the freeze affects is THE PAY INCREASES.
I believe that an example of what I mean by a collective bargaining contract would make it a bit more clear in your foggy dome ptif219. How about instead of a Federal gov contract, lets take look at a contract of a police dept in a University town. Might as well start with Alaska, Wasilla to be exact.
I realize that the freeze for federal employees doesn’t affect the Wasilla Police Department but I will use them as an example of some things that a collective bargaining agreement effects, other than wages. Seeing, as they are now a proud member of
Teamster joint council #28, and proud members of
local 959.
Teamsters Local 959,and the city of Wasilla Ak. Signed a four year contract, effective
