in effect§ 9.7.14 - Collective bargaining agreement; what constitutes.
(A) The collective bargaining agreement between the City and the sole and exclusive agent shall consist of any and all terms actually agreed to by the parties or awarded by the arbitrator. At the request of either the sole and exclusive agent or the Corporate Authorities, the agreement shall contain a grievance procedure which culminates in final and binding arbitration by a neutral arbitrator. The grievance procedure may be established by voluntary agreement or by the arbitrator. Any collective bargaining agreement negotiated under the terms and provisions of this Part 7 shall specifically provide that the Fire Fighters who are subject to its terms shall have no right to engage in any work stoppage, slowdown, mass absenteeism, or strike, the consideration for such provision being the right to a resolution of disputed questions as provided herein.
(B) Whenever there is a conflict between the terms of the agreement and a rule, executive order, procedure, policy, or any ordinance of the City, which is applicable only to employees of the City, the provisions of the agreement shall prevail.
