PURPOSE
A.

The Employer and the Union jointly agree to perform faithfully the obligations imposed by this Agreement, and the Union agrees to cooperate with the Employer in such manner, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as will ensure the efficient and economical operation of the Employer's building. It is the further intent and purpose of the parties hereto that the Employer shall have the right to direct and control its employees, to establish the working schedule of its employees, and to promote, layoff, transfer, or discharge for just cause, as enumerated in Article IX, Section E, any employee, and the execution of this Agreement by the Employer shall not be deemed to have deprived the Employer of any rights it formerly had or exercised in respect to its employees, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
B. The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining agency for all employees coming under the terms of this Agreement, as long as such recognition shall not be in conflict with, or in violation of, any statute, law, or ordinance of the government of the United States, the State of California, or any of the political subdivisions thereof.
C. It shall be a condition of employment that all employees of the Employer covered by this Agreement who are members of the Union in good standing, on the effective date of this Agreement, shall remain members in good standing, and those who are not members on the effective date of this Agreement shall, on the thirty-first (31st) day following the effective date of this Agreement, become and remain members in good standing in the Union. It shall also be a condition of employment that all employees covered by this Agreement and hired on or after its effective date shall, on the thirty- first (31st) day following the beginning of such employment, become and remain members in good standing in the Union.
D. Applicants and Notification and Dispatching: In the employment of applicants for all work covered by this Agreement, the following procedure shall govern:
The Union shall establish and maintain open and non-discriminatory employment lists for eligible applicants desiring employment on the work covered by this Agreement.
Notification of Vacancies: The Employer shall first call the Dispatch Office of the Union for such applicants, as he may from time to time need, and the Dispatch Office (213-385-1561) shall furnish to the Employer the required number of qualified and competent applicants requested by the Employer, strictly in accordance with the following procedure.
It shall be the responsibility of the Employer, when requesting applicants, to state the qualifications applicants are expected to possess.
In order to give the Union an opportunity to refer those applicants who most nearly meet his specifications, the Employer agrees to give the Dispatch Office as much advance notice of the anticipated opening as is possible under the circumstances then prevailing. At the time such notice is given to the Union, the Employer will specify the date the vacancy is to be filled and the qualifications the applicants are expected to possess.
Dispatching Procedure: The Dispatch Office (213-385-1561) will refer, in accordance with the Employer's specifications, from among those entered on its lists, those registrants who most nearly meet the qualifications required by the Employer:
1. The selection of registrants to be referred shall be on a non-discriminatory basis and, in accordance with applicable law, shall not be based upon, nor in any way affected by, Union membership by-laws, rules, regulations, constitutional provisions, nor any other aspect or obligation of Union membership, policies or requirements, nor upon the individual's race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin or any other protected class.
2. In the administration of the provisions of this Section, it is understood and agreed that the dispatch office will immediately notify the Employer, if no qualified applicants for the job to be filled are available. Similarly, the Employer shall promptly notify the Dispatch Office of his decision, with respect to applicants referred by the Union.
3. The Employer may request multiple referrals for a single vacancy, but the Union Dispatch Office need not refer more than four ( 4) registrants at the same time for each such vacancy.

1. He has afforded the Union an opportunity to refer at least ten (10) applicants for each vacancy; and,
2. Forty-eight ( 48) hours have elapsed since the date specified for a job to be filled under the provisions herein; provided, however, that the Employer need not wait forty-eight ( 48) hours, if the Union has notified the Employer that no qualified applicants are available.
Any Employer who instructs the Dispatch Office not to refer an applicant whose name appears on the Union referral lists shall be required, within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter, to confirm such instructions to the Union, in writing.
Notification of Applicants Hired: The Employer shall, within seventy-two (72) hours of the date of hire of bargaining unit employees, mail a copy of the employee's hire slip to the Union. Further, in recognition that the Union is the bargaining agent for all employees in the bargaining unit, it is agreed that an employee recruited from a source other than the Union Dispatch Office will be required to deliver a copy of his hire slip to the Union within seventy-two (72) hours of date of hire and that the Union shall, upon receipt of such hire slip, promptly issue to the employee written verification that the employee has been hired in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if that, in fact, is the case.
Change in Qualifications: If an Employer changes the qualifications stated to the Union, he shall immediately notify the Dispatch Office of this fact, and the Dispatch Office will have forty- eight ( 48) hours from that time to refer additional applicants who most nearly fit the changed requirements.
Right of Selection: Subject to the provisions of this Article, the Employer shall be the sole judge of an applicant's competence and qualifications to perform the work of any job to be filled. The Employer may accept or reject any applicant for employment referred by the Union, provided that the Employer's acceptance or rejection of an applicant shall be based solely upon the Employer's judgment and determination, as to the facts set forth in the preceding sentence. If the Union so requests, the Employer shall furnish to the Union within seventy-two (72) hours after such request, the specific reason for rejection by the Employer of an experienced applicant referred by the Union Dispatch Office for a job opening.
In accordance with applicable laws, no applicant shall be rejected or discriminated against because of membership or non-membership in the Union, nor because of the applicant's race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin or any other protected class.
Posting Requirements: The Union shall post, in places where notices to registrants are customarily posted, all provisions relating to these hiring procedures. The Employer shall, likewise, post these hiring procedures in places where notices to applicants and employees are customarily posted.
Time Limits: In computing the forty-eight (48) hour time limit referred to in this Article, Saturday, Sunday, and recognized holidays shall be excluded.
Job Application Forms and Questionnaires: Job application forms and questionnaires shall conform with Federal Agency and/or State Agency Regulations.
E.

F. For the purpose of this Article, a member of the Union in good standing shall be defined as any person who has paid all initiation fees and/or dues.
Engineers' Check-off: The Employer will check-off and remit to the Union monthly dues and initiation fees of employees who have executed and furnished to the Employer payroll deduction authorization in the form of Exhibit I, attached to this Agreement, which by this reference is made a part hereof.
It is further understood that the Employer shall be under no obligation to discharge any employee, should said discharge be in conflict with, or in violation of, any law, State or Federal.
G. No work covered by this Agreement may be subcontracted, in whole or in part, to any other person or any other Employer, except in the case of emergency, or when maintenance and repairs are beyond the scope of the competence and ability of the Employer, or when the subcontractor has an existing valid agreement with the Union, or when mutually agreed upon with the Union.
