501: Management’s Rights

Highlights: The Management’s Rights Clause gives Management all rights except as otherwise modified in the labor agreement. Absence of a Management’s Rights Clause in the contract: There is the concept of inherent Management’s Rights which would be implied regardless. A benefit of having a Management’s Rights Clause is that particular Management rights are enumerated. Affect on the Grievance Process and Access to Arbitration: The extent of Management’s rights is largely determined by the passivity or tolerance of the Union. Management and the Union each have inherent rights.
