Section 1.
The Union shall neither cause nor counsel its members to strike, to directly or indirectly commit any concerted acts of work stoppage, slowdown, or mass absenteeism, or to refuse faithfully and properly to perform, in whole or in part, any customarily assigned duties for the Library. The members of the Union shall not strike, directly or indirectly commit any concerted acts of work stoppage, slowdown, mass absenteeism, or refuse faithfully and properly to perform, in whole or in part, any customarily assigned duties for the Library. The occurrence of any such acts or actions prohibited in this section either on the part of the Union or its members shall be deemed a violation of this Agreement and shall render the Union and/or its officers, agents and members subject to the penalties herein.
Section 2.
Any employee who commits any of the acts prohibited in this Article may be subject to discharge, suspension or other disciplinary action, subject to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement.
Section 3.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent either party from enforcing any right under law or equity to which it might otherwise be entitled.
Section 4.
The Library shall not lock out its employees. However, if any employee is unable to work because equipment or facilities are not available due to a strike, work stoppage, or slowdown of any other employees, such inability to work shall not be deemed a lockout under the provisions of this Section. In the event of a lockout the Library shall be liable to the Union for reasonable damages. In no event shall these damages exceed the wages which would have been earned had the employees not been locked out.
The provisions of this clause shall not be subject to the arbitration clause.
