Referral Procedures Section 1. For Local Unions now having a job referral system as contained in their Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Contractor agrees to utilize such system and it shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as it may be modified by this Article. Referrals shall not be affected by obligations of Union membership or the lack thereof. Where airport security clearance requirements apply to work to be performed, the Contractor shall inform the Union’s hiring hall dispatcher of those requirements when requesting workers.
Section 2. In the event that Local Unions are unable to fill any request for employees within the time specified by the local CBAs the Contractor may employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall inform the Union of the name and social security number of any applicants hired from other sources and shall refer the applicant to the Local Union for dispatch to the projects prior to the commencement of work.
Section 3. There shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her membership or non-membership in the union or based upon race, creed, color, sex, age or national origin, or any other legally protected class of such employee or applicant.
Section 4. No employee covered by this Agreement shall be required to join any Union as a condition of being employed on the project; provided, however, that an employee who is a member of the referring union at the time of the referral shall maintain that membership while employed under the Agreement. All employees shall, however, be required to comply with the union security provision of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, for the period during which they are performing on-site work, except as modified by this Agreement. The Contractor agrees to deduct union dues or representation fees, whichever is applicable, from the pay of any employee who executes a voluntary authorization for such deductions and to remit the dues to the Union or Council.
Section 5. The parties agree that where a Contractor is not party to a current Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Union having jurisdiction over the affected work, the Contractor may request by name, and the Local will honor, referral of up to a maximum of five (5) persons per each contractor (“core” employees), provided that the Contractor first demonstrate that those persons possess the following qualifications:
(1) Any license required by state or federal law for the project work to be performed;
(2) Have worked a total of at least one thousand (1,000) hours in the construction craft during the prior three (3) years;
(3) Were on the Contractor’s active payroll for at least sixty (60) out of the one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to the contract award;
(4) Have the ability to perform the work safely. The Contractor may elect to hire its first “core” employee to be a xxxxxxx. After the contractor hires his first core employee, the Union will refer to such contractor one journeyman employee from the hiring hall out-of–work list for the affected trade or craft, then refer one of such Contractor’s “core” employees as a journeyman, and shall, alternate, one core employee and one employee from the out-of-work list, until such Contractor’s crew requirements are met or until such Contractor has hired five (5) “core” employees, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be hired exclusively from the hiring hall out-of-work list(s). For the duration of the Contractor’s work the ratio of “core” employees to hiring hall referrals shall be maintained and when the Contractor’s workforce is reduced, employees shall be reduced in the same ratio as was applied in the initial hiring. All employees, core and union, shall be dispatched from the appropriate union. Trust benefits shall be paid on all employees, core and union.
Section 6. Upon referral or dispatch from a Union, “turnaround” or refusal of any worker by the Contractors, requires written explanation from the Contractor that shall be communicated from the Prime Contractor to the Port and affected Union within 48 hours.
Section 7. Individual seniority will not be recognized or applied to employees working on the project. This provision will not interfere with or supersede the use by individual Contractors of “call lists” maintained by such Contractor pursuant to addenda to the local Collective Bargaining Agreement between such Contractor and a Union signatory to this Agreement.
Section 8. The selection of craft foremen and/or general foremen and the number of such foremen and/or general foremen required shall be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor. Craft foremen shall be designated working foremen at the request of the Contractor. Craft workers covered by this Agreement will, in the normal day- to-day operations, take their direction and supervision from their xxxxxxx.

Requests for Exclusion (Opt-Outs) 8.5.1 Class Members who wish to exclude themselves (opt-out of) the Class Settlement must send the Administrator, by fax, email, or mail, a signed written Request for Exclusion not later than 60 days after the Administrator mails the Class Notice (plus an additional 14 days for Class Members whose Class Notice is re-mailed).

To be valid, a Request for Exclusion must be timely faxed, emailed, or postmarked by the Response Deadline.
8.5.2 The Administrator may not reject a Request for Exclusion as invalid because it fails to contain all the information specified in the Class Notice.

The Administrator’s determination shall be final and not appealable or otherwise susceptible to challenge.

Procedure for Exchange (i) Any exchange shall be exercised pursuant to a notice of exchange (the "SERIES C EXCHANGE NOTICE") delivered to the General Partner by the holder who is exercising such exchange right, by (a) fax and (b) by certified mail postage prepaid. The exchange of Series C Preferred Units, or a specified portion thereof, may be effected after the fifth (5th) Business Day following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period further described in the first sentence of Section 17.9.A(iii), by delivering certificates, if any, representing such Series C Preferred Units to be exchanged together with written notice of exchange and an assignment of such Series C Preferred Units and such opinions of counsel and further assurances further described in Section 17.6.C(i) hereof to the office of the General Partner maintained for such purpose. Currently, such office is Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. Each exchange will be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such Series C Preferred Units to be exchanged (together with all required documentation) shall have been surrendered and notice shall have been received by the General Partner as aforesaid and the Series C Exchange Price shall have been paid. Any Series C Preferred Shares issued pursuant to this Section 17.9 shall be delivered as shares which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction other than those provided in the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws of the General Partner Entity, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky laws.
(ii) In the event of an exchange of Series C Preferred Units for Series C Preferred Shares, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid distributions, whether or not declared, to the date of exchange on any Series C Preferred Units tendered for exchange shall (a) accrue on the shares of the Series C Preferred Shares into which such Series C Preferred Units are exchanged, and (b) continue to accrue on such Series C Preferred Units, which shall remain outstanding following such exchange, with the General Partner as the holder of such Series C Preferred Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall a holder of a Series C Preferred Unit that was validly exchanged into Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to this section (other than the General Partner now holding such Series C Preferred Unit), receive any cash distribution from the Partnership, if such holder, after exchange, is entitled to receive a cash distribution with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares for which such Series C Preferred Unit was exchanged or redeemed.
(iii) Fractional shares of Series C Preferred Shares are not to be issued upon exchange but, in lieu thereof, the General Partner will pay a cash adjustment based upon the fair market value of the Series C Preferred Shares on the day prior to the exchange date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the General Partner.
For example If an employee utilises two weeks recreation leave over a period of four weeks at half pay, service based entitlements (e.g. personal leave, long service leave, paid parental leave) will be deferred by two weeks.
