Contractual Settlement Agreements

What is a contractual settlement agreement?

Contractual settlement agreements are used to settle a dispute in the interpretation of contractual language. Settlement agreements are considered to be an extension of the collective bargaining agreement. Similar to LOAs and MOUs, the MEC has authority to enter into settlement agreements per the AFA Constitution & Bylaws.
