[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 198223"] [b]Status Quo doctrine is limited in scope, hard to enforce[/b] Nospinzone, Briefly, your view is the entire contract remains in effect after the NLRB decertifies the Teamsters and certifies the APWA. My understanding is the entire contract does not remain in effect. However, the *limited* doctrine of Maintaining The Status Quo does keep mandatory subjects of bargaining in place, but not all other non-mandatory subjects. There would presumably be major debates between negotiators as to exactly what is, and is not, mandatory, and exactly how much change is allowed before the Status Quo rule is violated. Several subjects would have to change significantly since the APWA proceedures are, by definition, different from the Teamsters. Replacing one union with another is itself a huge change in the Status Quo and has consequences. Alledged violations of the limited Status Quo doctrine might be Unfair Labor Practices, but enforcing each of them would require filing formal charges with the NLRB and waiting for the board to rule on each. It could get ugly. But, as I hear Bill O'Reilly say every weeknight: "We'll let the folks decide." [/QUOTE]
