ARTICLE 8
Agreement Against Lockouts and Strikes

Section A. Lockouts. No lockout of faculty members shall be instituted by the Employer during the term of this Agreement.

Section B. Strikes. During the life of this Agreement, no strike of any kind, as defined in Minnesota Statutes §179A.03, Subd. 16, shall be engaged in, sanctioned, or supported by the IFO, its officers, or agents. In the event the Employer alleges that any faculty member or faculty members are engaged in a strike, the IFO will, upon written notification, immediately notify such faculty member or faculty members in writing of the allegation and the implications of a strike. However, nothing in this Article shall be construed as a waiver by IFO of the rights of faculty members to conduct a permissible and legal strike pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §179A.18.
