ART. XII, SEC. 2<br />
reach a negotiated settlement, the master negotiating committee<br />
shall have the authority to determine the appropriate<br />
action to be taken, including authorizing a strike.<br />
Where further bargaining results in a revised tentative<br />
agreement, the proposal shall be submitted to the affected<br />
members for another vote in accordance with the provisions<br />
of Article XII, Section 1(b). In the event the members<br />
reject that revised tentative agreement, the master<br />
committee shall return to bargaining and attempt to<br />
address the remaining issues. If a new tentative agreement<br />
is reached, it shall be submitted to the affected members<br />
for another vote. In the event no new tentative agreement<br />
is reached, or if the members reject the new tentative<br />
agreement, the master committee shall conduct a separate<br />
strike authorization vote among the members covered by<br />
the special rider or supplement. The separate strike vote<br />
cannot be combined with the vote on any revised tentative<br />
agreement. If the affected members fail to authorize a<br />
strike utilizing the standards set forth in Section 1(b) of this<br />
Article, or refuse to strike if one is authorized by the affected<br />
members and is called by the master negotiating committee,<br />
the master negotiating committee shall have<br />
authority to accept the final offer or such additional provisions<br />
as can be negotiated. If the affected members authorize<br />
a strike, the master negotiating committee shall have<br />
authority to determine the time and manner in which such<br />
action shall be initiated. Once a strike has been authorized<br />
by the separate vote of the members covered by the special<br />
rider or supplement and a strike commenced, the special<br />
rider or supplement shall not take effect without approval<br />
by a majority of the votes cast bythe affected members. No<br />
special supplement or rider may contain provisions which<br />
are inferior to comparable provisions in the master agreement<br />
of which the supplement or rider is a part.<br />
