1. The Union shall establish and maintain an open employ-ment list for the employment of workmen. Such list shallbe established and maintained on a non-discriminatorybasis, without regard to race, color, religion, sex or nation-al origin, and shall not be based on, or in any way affectedby union membership, by-laws, rules, regulations, consti-tutional provisions, or any other aspect or obligation orunion membership, policies or requirements.

2. Whenever desiring to employ workmen, the Employershall call upon the Union for any workmen as theEmployer may, from time to time need, and the Union shallrefer such workmen from the open employment list. TheEmployer shall give the Union twenty-four (24) hoursnotice when requiring the services of a workman coveredhereunder, said notice time to be exclusive of Saturday,Sunday and Holidays.a) In notifying the Union of its need for workers, the

Employer shall specify to the Union: (1) the number ofworkers required, (2) the location of the project, (3) the

nature and type of construction involved, (4) the work tobe performed, and (5) such other information as may benecessary to enable the Union to make proper referral ofapplicants.

b) When an Employer states requirements for specialskills or abilities in his request for Employees, theUnion shall refer the first applicant on the register pos-sessing such skills and abilities.

3. The Employer shall retain the absolute and unconditionalright to reject any workman referred by the Union not pos-sessing the requisite work qualifications, or special skillsand abilities, since the Union is not to be deemed to guar-antee the same. However, in no case shall a referred work-man be rejected without just cause. Any workman who isrejected by the Employer with just cause, shall be restoredto his place on the list. The employer shall document thecause in writing.

4. All members and registrants on hiring hall list must per-sonally register and be properly identified and pho-tographed.

5. Recognizing that many older workers are restricted in theoperation of heavy construction equipment by reason oftechnical advances and/or physical handicaps which donot, however, prevent them performing usefully and well,certain functions of the Operating Engineers' craft, andwith a view towards maintaining a source of employmentfor persons falling in this category, the hiring hall willmaintain a "Limited Preferred Status List," from which dis-patch will be made for maintenance and operation of weld-ing machines, compressors, elevators, house cars, genera-tors, pumps, temporary heating equipment, conveyors andtuggers.

In order to qualify for referral from this list, the fol-lowing criteria must be met:(a) The member or registrant must voluntarily submit his

name for inclusion on the list for a minimum period ofsix (6) months and during this time will not be eligiblefor referrals except as to equipment under the "LimitedPreferred Status List".

(b) The member or registrant on the "Limited PreferredStatus List" must be at least fifty-five (55) years of ageand have had twenty years of experience in the indus-try as evidenced by his continuing availability on theHiring Hall list, or in lieu thereof.

(c) A person on the "Limited Preferred Status List" musthave a bonafide physical handicap with proof thereofbeing submitted to the satisfaction of the ExecutiveBoard of Local Union 825, which handicap wouldunduly restrict his capacity to operate equipment otherthan that on the "Limited Preferred Status List".

(d) In view of the restriction on employment of those onthe "Limited Preferred Status List" to the equipmentspecified herein, contractors may not request anEmployee by name on this list.

(e) In the event that the "Limited Preferred Status List" isexhausted and no one is available therefrom foremployment, a registrant or member from the generalhiring hall list may be referred to a job normally filledby a person from the "Limited Preferred Status List"

6. When a man is referred from the hiring hall for employ-ment, he shall continue to retain his position at the top ofthe hiring hall list, until he has completed one hundredtwenty (120) hours of employment, after which time his

name shall be re-registered in proper position as of the dateof notification to the hiring hall of his availability.

7. In order that the hiring hall list may correctly reflect theavailability of registrants, each member must review hisregistered skills once per year with a hiring hall dispatcher.

8. Registration cards will contain information as to the equip-ment that the registrant can operate and his experience insuch operation. If a workman has two (2) or more docu-mented discharges by employers alleging an inability tooperate the equipment, he shall: 1) be removed from theemployment list, 2) report to the local union training sitefor a skills evaluation and/or appear at the next regularlyscheduled meeting of the hiring hall review board, 3) re-register his name on the employment list in person with thedispatcher. Thereafter, if the workman receives one addi-tional documented discharge by an employer for an inabil-ity to operate equipment the workman shall automaticallybe barred from the open employment list.

9. The dispatcher in making referrals from the hiring hall,based in part on an Employer's request to reemploy a manwho is available and who has had "previous employment,"shall not consider employment as "previous", unless it waswithin the preceding one year from the date of request ortwo years if the workman has a total of 1000 hours or morewith the requesting employer in the two years prior to thedate of request.

10. Unless otherwise provided by the Collective BargainingAgreement with the Local Union, no person dispatchedfrom the hiring hall will operate any machine or equip-ment other than those to which he was originally assignedto on referral, without approval of the hiring hall.

11. When the machine or equipment to which a man wasreferred is moved to a different job or shut down, the oper-ator must notify the hiring hall.

12. No person selected for referral from the hiring hall will beallowed to refuse a job without just cause. Three instancesof a refusal without just cause and/or no response to thehiring hall shall remove the workman from the hiring halllist. He may thereafter register again being added to thebottom of the list. No response is defined as not returningthe phone call of the dispatcher within twenty-four (24)hours exclusive of Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.

13. The Employers and Union agree that chronic or unex-cused lateness and absenteeism is undesirable and must beprotected against. For this reason:

Any member or registrant receiving a documenteddischarge from an employer for failing to report to workon time shall automatically be suspended from the openemployment list until he or she personally re-registers onthe open employment list.

Any member or registrant who fails a second time toreport to work on time shall automatically be suspendedfrom the open employment list until he or she pays a$50.00 assessment, personally re-registers on the openemployment list and completes the pre-employment testingprocedures embodied in the Policy and Program concern-ing the use of and testing for Controlled Substances &Alcohol.

If the member or registrant continues to believehis placement on the list was improper or discriminatoryhe may file a claim pursuant to Section 15, of these rules.

16. Any member or registrant on the employment list whomakes written claim that he has been discriminatedagainst in violation of his rights under the LaborManagement Relations Act of 1947, as amended, byexclusion from a job referral, shall have the right to animmediate appeal to a Joint Board consisting of two (2)members of the Union and two (2) representatives of theEmployer, who shall be respectively designated upon thesigning of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
