Community_Workforce_Agreement.pdf

This Community Workforce Agreement is between the Ontario International Airport Authority, the San Bernardino-Riverside Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, and the signatory craft councils and unions. The document establishes labor relations policies and procedures for major demolition, rehabilitation, replacement, and construction projects at the Ontario International Airport, with a goal of ensuring 50% of total work hours are performed by workers residing in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The agreement covers construction contracts exceeding $400,000 and outlines workforce hiring practices, referral procedures, apprenticeship programs, and community employment objectives.

The agreement includes provisions for union recognition, employee referral, non-discrimination, and workforce composition, with specific emphasis on hiring local area residents and veterans. Contractors are required to work with local union hiring halls and comply with prevailing wage requirements. The document establishes a Joint Administrative Committee to monitor compliance and resolve disputes, and includes detailed guidelines on work assignments, jurisdictional disputes, safety protocols, drug and alcohol testing, and apprenticeship programs. The initial contract term is five years from the first Construction Contract award, with the potential for extension by mutual consent of the parties involved.
