There shall be no strikes of any nature, work stoppages, picketing or slowdowns by the

Union or employees against Contractor during the term of this Agreement. However, the

Unions retain the right to have their members cease and desist working for any Contractor for failure to make required wage and/or fringe benefit payments. There shall be no lockouts by Contractor. In the event the Local Agreement expires during the term of this

Agreement there shall be no work interruption or stoppage related to such expiration, but

Contractor shall comply with all terms and conditions of any new Local Agreement and apply, retroactive to the expiration date of the old Local Agreement, all increases in wages, fringe benefits, and other economic items which are part of any new Local

Agreement.

No employee shall engage in any activities which violate this Article. Any employee who participates in or encourages any activities which interfere with the normal operation of the project shall be subject to disciplinary action, including discharge, and if justifiably discharged for the above reasons, shall not be eligible for rehire on the same project for a period of not less than ninety (90) days.

Neither the Union nor its affiliates shall be liable for acts of employees for which it has no responsibility. The principal officer or officers of the Union will use the best efforts of his/her office to cause the affiliated union or unions to cease any violations of this Article.

The Union in its compliance with this obligation shall not be liable for unauthorized acts of its affiliates. The failure of the Contractor to exercise its right in any instance shall not be deemed a waiver of its right in any other instance. In lieu of any action at law or equity, any party shall institute the following procedure when a breach of this Article is alleged, after all involved parties have been notified of the fact.

(a) The party invoking this procedure shall notify an individual to be mutually agreed upon, whom the parties agree shall be the permanent arbitrator under this procedure. In the event the permanent arbitrator is unavailable at any time, he shall appoint his alternate. Notice to the arbitrator shall be by the most expeditious means available, with notice to all parties including the party alleged to be in violation.

(b) Upon receipt of said notice the arbitrator named above shall set and hold a hearing within twenty-four (24) hours if it is contended the violation still exists but not before twenty-four (24) hours after the notice to all parties involved as required above.

(c) The Arbitrator shall notify the parties of the place and time he has chosen for this hearing. Said hearing shall be completed in one session. A failure of any party or parties to attend said hearing shall not delay the hearing of evidence or issuance of an Award by the Arbitrator.

(d) The sole issue at the hearing shall be whether or not a violation of this Article has in fact occurred. The Award shall be issued in writing within three (3) hours after the close of the hearing, and may be issued without an Opinion.

If any party desires an Opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen (15) days, but its issuance shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of, the

Award. The Arbitrator may order cessation of the violation of this Article, and such Award shall be served on all parties by hand or registered mail upon issuance.

ARTICLE XI

Pre-Job Conference

A reasonable length of time prior to beginning any on-site work, Contractor shall notify the West Central Illinois Building and Construction Trades Council of its intent to commence work and schedule a pre-job conference. Representatives of Contractor and

Union shall meet to familiarize themselves with the scope of Contractor's work, resolve trade job assignments, manpower requirements, and discuss any other topic which may be relevant to the work so that the Union is better able to satisfy Contractor's needs and ensure that work commences in the most efficient manner. A holiday schedule shall be adopted at the pre-job conference, which will be uniformly applied to all work on the job.

Jobsite work shall not begin until completion of the pre-job conference.

If the nature and volume of inquiries indicate a substantial defect in the bid specifications, terms, or conditions, the Purchasing Division will either schedule an additional prebid conference, extend the deadline for submission of bids, or cancel the bid and reissue corrected or appropriately modified specifications, terms and/or conditions.

ALL BIDDERS ARE ADVISED THAT ANY COMMUNICATION WITH ANY COUNTY
