The Employer and the Association each recognize that the Isaac Beaulieu Memorial School, as an Individual Band Operated School, is not subject to the Public Schools Act of Manitoba. As such, the Association has the right to strike and the Employer has the right to lockout, subject to the provisions of the Labour Relations Act of Manitoba.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties wish to incorporate into the Collective Agreement provisions which will apply in the event that they are unable to conclude a renewed or revised collective agreement by way of collective bargaining, which preclude a strike and/or a lockout, and provide a mechanism for the conclusion of a renewed or revised collective agreement.
As such, the Parties hereby incorporate by reference into this Collective Agreement, with such modifications as are necessary, all sections contained in Part VIII of the Public Schools Act of Manitoba C.C.S.M. c. P250.
In accordance with section 82 of the Labour Relations Act of Manitoba, this provision will only be included in a renewed or revised collective agreement if both parties expressly agree.
