Manning Provision- The first carpenter on the jobsite shall be the Foreman and may be selected by the Employer. The second carpenter shall be the shop steward referred by the Union. The remainder of the carpenters shall be selected by the Employer. Any employees not members of the NYCDCC shall be matched 1:1 from the NYCDCC Job Referral List. Two man jobs- For jobs only requiring two employees, the Employer will be permitted to work without a certified shop steward without a time limitation. Any employee who is not a member of the NYCDCC will be matched 1:1 from the NYCDCC Job Referral List. The Union will assign one of the two members with the duties of the shop steward. In the event of any violation of the two man rule, the contractor will lose this privilege for the remainder of the term of the contract. If there is a third employee dispatched by the NYCDCC Job Referral List, that employee shall be a certified steward and the steward will remain for the duration of that project. This is not to be used as a head start. Holidays- The last legal working days before Christmas Day and New Years Day are to become full day holidays. All work performed on these days to be paid at the double time rate. Shift Work- No premium on shiftwork provided the shift is a second shift starting immediately after the first shift. Off hour shift language to remain the same, however starting no later than 8:30 p.m. changed to starting no later than 10 p.m. Section 9(a) Agreement- both parties agree to enter into a Section 9(a) agreement upon demonstration by the NYCDCC of its majority status. The parties agree to utilize the services of a third party neutral (e.g., labor arbitrator or member of clergy) for this purpose. Dues Check-off- Employers agree to implement a dues check-off authorization system for the collection of working dues to be forwarded to the Union.

Additional Notes: 1. The Wage and Benefit Increases are not tied to any benchmarks such as total hours worked and are guaranteed throughout the length of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. 2. The Association of Wall Ceiling and Carpentry Industries of New York has never had and is not now requesting a Favored Nations Clause. 3. The Association will cooperate with the District Council to develop flexible Market Recovery Programs which will be satisfactory to both parties in an effort to recapture market share being lost to the non-Union segment.

ADDENDUM With Respect to Compliance Issues to Proposed Agreement between the New York City District Council of Carpenters and the Association of Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry Industries of New York, Inc.
1. The Proposed Agreement doesnt include, as part of the compliance enforcement under the mobility provisions, the Labor-Management Committee, Inc. as provided under the agreement negotiated in late 2011 by the UBC and ultimately rejected by the District Councils membership. 2. Rather, compliance will be monitored and enforced using the following means. a. Each employer will be assigned a unique control number and each job site will be assigned a unique control number. b. Carpenters time will be entered on-site by Shop Stewards through the use of scanners, direct date entry (using iPhones, iPads, on-site PCs/laptops, or similar electronic means), or by calls into a District Council switchboard that will then have the data loaded into a central system linked to the District Council. That way there will be daily reports of all hours that will be transmitted to the Funds and each employer, allowing for reconciliation of any disputes as to employees and hours to be dealt with within a reasonable time (e.g., 72 to 120 hours). 3. The compliance features will need to be phased in as part of the phase in of mobility because this is a change to the hiring ratios under the Courts May 2009 Order in United States v. District Council, 90 Civ. 5722. The compliance features need to meet the approval of the Review Officer, the US Attorneys Office, and the Court, with regular reports (e.g., every 90 days) on the implementation and operation of the compliance features to insure that mobility does not lead to corrupt practices..
