602.04000 – Change in or Deviation from Unwritten Past Practice
The status quo against which an employer’s conduct is evaluated must take into account the regular and consistent past patterns of changes. Changes consistent with such a pattern are not violations of the status quo. Where the employer exercises a large measure of discretion, the exclusive representative may properly insist that the employer negotiate regarding changes.
