WAGE SCALES AND BENEFITS. Section 10-1. The Employer agrees to pay base hourly wage rates for those classifications outlined in Appendix A covering the signatory International Unions. It is understood that the basis for wage scales and employee benefit contributions as outlined in Appendix A shall be those rates which have been negotiated by the historically recognized bargaining agencies in the local area which has jurisdiction on the proposed project of the Employer. When the Employer determines that modification of existing economic factors is necessary to be competitive, then the Employer shall propose those economic improvements to the local Unions involved and the International Unions agree to actively support and use the best effort of their office to assist the Employer in an expeditious manner in securing the most competitive position that will enhance a successful award.
WAGE SCALES AND BENEFITS. Section 1. The Employer and the Union agree that only those wages, fringes and premiums incorporated in the appropriate Xxxxx-Xxxxx wage determination at the time the Employer is authorized to perform the work will be paid. The Employer adopts and agrees to be bound by the written terms of the applicable International Union or Local Union trust agreements. The Employer authorizes the parties to such trust agreements to appoint trustees and successor trustees to administer the trust funds and thereby ratifies and accepts the trustees so appointed as if appointed by the Employer. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to require the Employer to become a party to or be bound by any local collective bargaining agreement except for the employee benefit fund contributions as specified therein, nor is the Employer required to become a member of any employer group or association as a condition for making such contributions.
