This subchapter provides the exclusive mechanism by which the county, the employees' organization, and the employees in the bargaining unit shall carry out collective bargaining. The county shall not attempt to deal directly with the employees in the bargaining unit in lieu of collective bargaining. Such an attempt shall be deemed an act of bad-faith bargaining. The employee's organization and the employees in the bargaining unit shall not attempt to deal directly county representatives except for those representatives designated by the county responsible for collective bargaining under this subchapter.
