Otherwise to the extent that such a local, regional, or other applicable labor agreement does expire and the parties to that agreement have failed to reach agreement on a new contract, work will continue on the Project on one of the following two bases, both of which will be offered by the Unions involved to the Employers affected:
4.4.1 Each of the Unions with a contract expiring must offer to continue working on the Project under interim agreements that retain all the terms of the expiring contract, except that the Unions involved in such expiring contracts may each propose wage rates and employer contribution rates to employee benefit funds different from what those wage rates and employer contributions rates were under the expiring contracts. The terms of the Union's interim agreement offered to Employers will be no less favorable to the Employer than the terms offered by the Union to any other employer or group of employers covering the same type of construction work in Los Angeles County.
4.4.2 Each of the Unions with a contract expiring must offer to continue working on the Project under all the terms of the expiring contract, including the wage rates and employer contribution rates to the employee benefit funds if the Employers affected by that contract agree to the following retroactivity provisions: if a new MLA for the union having jurisdiction at the Project is ratified and if such new MLA provides for retroactive wage or fringe benefit contribution increases, then each affected Employer shall pay to its employees (and the respective trust funds for hours worked by employees) who performed work covered by the Agreement at the Project during the hiatus between the effective dates ofsuch labor agreements, an amount equal to any such retroactive wage increase established by such new labor agreement, retroactive to whatever date is provided by the new local, regional or other applicable agreement for such increase to go into effect, for each employee's hours worked on the Project during the retroactive period. All parties agree that such affected Employer shall be solely responsible for any retroactive payment to its employees and that neither the County nor any other Employer has any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for any such retroactive payments or collection of any such retroactive payments, from any such Employer.
4.4.3 Some Employers may elect to continue to work on the Project under the terms ofthe interim agreement option offered under 4.4.1 above and other Employers may elect to continue to work on the Project under the retroactivity option offered under 4.4.2 above. To decide between the two options, Employers will be given one (1) week after the particular MLA has expired or one week after the Union has personally delivered to the Employer in writing its specific offer of terms ofthe interim agreement pursuant to 4.4.1 above, whichever is the later date. If the Employer fails to timely select one of the two options, the Employer shall be deemed to have selected the option of 4.4.2.
