Order and Ratio. For Prime Contractors and Subcontractors that are not Equity Contractors and are not signatory to a Master Labor Agreement, the limits on Core Employees shall be as follows: the first two workers may be Core Employees; the next two craft workers shall be union referrals. Thereafter, dispatch may alternate Core Employees and Union Referred Employees, on a one-for-one basis, with the Core Employee total number not to exceed 50% plus one worker of that Prime Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s craft workforce, or otherwise by mutual agreement of that Prime Contractor or Subcontractor and Union. Where a Union’s Master Labor Agreement, or the procedures of the relevant joint labor-management apprenticeship program, prohibit referral of Union members to non-signatory contractors, then such Union may waive its referral rights under this Article VII, and the contractor may staff the job at its discretion, with work to be performed otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and the Master Labor Agreement.
Order and Ratio. Non-signatory Contractors may employ, as needed, first, a member of its core workforce (“Core Worker,” as defined in Section 4 below), then a Union-referred Worker; thereafter, the Contractor shall alternate Core Workers and Union-referred Workers, on a one-for- one basis, up to a maximum of five Core Workers, or otherwise by mutual agreement of that Contractor and Union. Thereafter, all additional Workers in the affected Trade shall be initially requested from the Union hiring hall, subject to Priority Hire and Unfilled Request provisions of this Agreement. As part of this process, and in order to facilitate the contract administration procedures, all Contractors shall inform the appropriate Union hiring hall of any non-Union Workers hired by the Contractor. Such information shall be provided within two days of the non-Union Worker’s employment at a Covered Project site.
