Exclusive representative does not have right to be present at grievance meetings where employees do not seek representation by the representative - thus it is not nonmandatory subject of bargaining. Exclusive representative's right to file grievances in its own name is a statutory right and therefore nonmandatory subject of bargaining; pp. 23, 28. Exclusive representative's right to take a grievance to arbitration without the consent of the individual grievant is a statutory right and is therefore a nonmandatory subject of bargaining; pp. 33, 35.
