7.2 The County's failure to exercise any function or right hereby reserved to it, or, its exercising any function or right in a particular way, shall not be deemed a waiver to its rights to exercise such function or right, nor precludes the County from exercising the same in some other way not in conflict with the express provisions of this agreement. The Union agrees that the County may exercise all of the above without advising the Union of any proposed action. The exercise of the rights specifically listed in this article does not preclude the employees or their representatives from conferring with management, raising questions about the practical consequences that decision on these matters may have on the terms and conditions of employment, or impact bargaining in accordance with applicable law. 7.3 Past practices of the Board of County Commissioners or County management shall not be considered for the purpose of limiting the rights, responsibilities, or prerogatives of management, nor for the purpose of enlarging upon the specific and express limitations on management which are contained in this agreement. 7.4 If the County determines that civil emergency conditions exist, including but not limited to riots, civil disorders, strikes or illegal work stoppages, hurricane conditions or similar catastrophes or disorders, the provisions of this agreement may be suspended by the County during the term of the declared emergency. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 5, Correspondence, notice of such suspension will be given to the union president as soon as practicable after the determination has been made and by whatever means is appropriate in the circumstances. 7.5 The employer will not unilaterally change, except as allowed herein or by the Florida Public Employees Relations Act, employees' wages, hours, or working conditions established by this agreement or working conditions known to management which existed prior to this agreement.
