Part IV: Collective Agreement Term - No Strike/No Lockout

9 COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT TERM - NO STRIKE/NO LOCKOUT
9.1 This Collective Agreement shall remain in effect from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2009 inclusive and, thereafter, shall be renewed automatically from year to year, subject to Section 4.0 of the Voluntary Recognition Agreement (VRA) as amended in the Collective Agreement, unless either Party notifies the other in writing not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Collective Agreement that it desires to amend the Collective Agreement. As long as Sections 4.0 as amended and 5.0 of the VRA remain in effect, where notice to amend the Collective Agreement is given, the provisions of this Collective Agreement shall continue in force until a new Collective Agreement is signed.
9.2 No Strike/No Lockout
The Society, employees within the scope of the bargaining unit, and Bruce Power are pledged to the effective and efficient operation of Bruce Power and they pledge themselves, individually and collectively, to refrain from taking part in strikes, lockouts or sympathy strikes and other interference with work or production as long as the terms and conditions in Section 4.0 of the VRA continue.
Nothing in this Collective Agreement is intended to interfere with the exercise of lawful economic sanctions under the Ontario Labour Relations Act and the Canada Labour Code by any member of the bargaining unit or bargaining units as the case may be or by The Society itself should either party to the Agreement elect to terminate Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of the Voluntary Recognition Agreement.
