We suggest that the first bargaining session for the 20XX-20XX Master Contract be held in early January, 20XX. The first bargaining session will be an open meeting, and the Assocaition will be prepared to make its initial offer at that time. The Association would be agreeable to having both open sessions on the same evening, with the second open session to follow directly after the first, to save time.

The Association will expect that following the initial open meeting(s), bargaining will be closed to the public; however, neither party need to be restricted in the number and identity of its team, nor its representatives. For your information, the Associations team will be _______, _______,__________, and Jeremy Kunz, NEIEU UniServ Director. Our Chief Negotiator, _____, will be contacting you to confirm an exact date so that the boards representatives will be available. Please direct all further communication regarding bargaining to _____ at _________ school. On behalf of the Association, ____________, President The _________ Education Association hereby grants the Negotiation Committee the authority to bargain in good faith including the right to make and modify proposals, make concessions, make tentative agreements, and proceed to impasse on behalf of the Association, subject only to ratification of the entire contract by the membership.
