Duties:​

The Chief Negotiator shall be the principal spokesperson for the Committee, and shall execute his/her duties and responsibilities under the direction of the President and the Executive Council. Only members of the Federation shall be eligible for selection by the Executive Council to serve on the Collective Bargaining/Negotiations Committee.

​

The Collective Bargaining/Negotiations Committee shall prepare contract-negotiating proposals for review by the Executive Council prior to their presentation to the District for the purpose of negotiations. These proposals should reflect the committee’s consideration of contract suggestions from a diverse cross-section of the Federation’s constituency. The committee has the further responsibility of conducting the contract negotiations with the District. It shall have the authority to modify Federation contract proposals, accept or reject District proposals, and grant tentative approval of contract proposals pending ratification by a simple majority of Federation members voting at a general membership meeting called for that purpose.
