301.02000 – Pre-Impasse
A strike during negotiations and prior to exhaustion of impasse proceedings constitutes a failure to negotiate in good faith. Although not a per se violation, in the absence of any sustainable allegation of provocation by the employer, the strike violated subsection 3543.6(c); pp. 11-12. A pre-impasse strike creates a rebuttable presumption that it is a violation of 3543.6(c).
