Section 9901.905 – Impact on existing agreements – Any provision of a collective bargaining agreement that is inconsistent with NSPS will be unenforceable once it is covered, unless the Secretary allows a particular provision to remain in effect. He can cancel that provision at any time. The union may appeal DoD’s determination that a provision is unenforceable to the National Security Labor Relations Board. The union also can request to bargain to bring into conformance parts of its bargaining agreements that are negotiable, but directly affected by the parts alleged to be unenforceable. The parties will have 60 days after the effective date of coverage to complete bargaining – it they don’t reach agreement, they may use the NSPS negotiation impasse provisions.
