The agreement establishes comprehensive employment terms including mandatory union membership or agency fee payment within 31 days of hire. Wages and fringe benefits are set according to Addendum A, with base wage increases effective April 1, 2021 ($0.60), April 1, 2022 ($0.45), and April 1, 2023 ($0.45). The employer contributes hourly amounts to the Man U Services Health and Welfare Fund and Laborers-Employers Service Contract Education and Training Trust Fund as specified in Addenda A and B. Full-time employees work 30 hours weekly; part-time employees work less than 30 hours. Employees accrue paid sick leave at one hour per 30 hours worked (maximum 56 hours annually), receive four to five personal days annually depending on work schedule, and earn paid vacation with 30 days advance notice required. Holiday pay covers eleven federal holidays plus any future holidays declared by Congress or Executive Proclamation. The agreement provides for grievance procedures through three escalating steps, with arbitration available if unresolved. Layoffs are determined by length of continuous service with employees having less than 12 months' service laid off first and subject to recall within 12 months. Just cause is required for discipline or discharge, with immediate termination provisions for dishonesty, intoxication, drug use, violence, property damage, unauthorized absence, false statements, weapons possession, government restrictions, sleeping on duty, and safety violations. A no-strike clause prohibits work stoppages, and the agreement binds successors and assignees through February 21, 2024, with automatic renewal unless 90 days' notice is provided prior to expiration.
