MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING 
BETWEEN
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EMPLOYEES ORGANIZATION
AND THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

It is the agreement of the parties that the negotiated Article 22 does not preclude NWSEO from filing ULP's without providing a 30 day notice to the National Weather Service. However, it is the parties' position that Article 22 expresses the intent to attempt informal resolution of potential ULP matters before filing with the FLRA.
