Group I status shall be limited to one Local Union at one time. An applicant who

qualifies for Group I in a local union shall be so registered electronically and remain

on Group I in that local union unless and until the applicant designates another local

union as his or her Group I local union. If an applicant qualifies for Group I status in

a local union other than his or her home local union and designates that local as his

or her Group I local union, the business manager of the new Group I status local

union shall by electronic means notify the business manager of the applicant’s

former Group I status local union.

GROUP II All applicants for employment who have 8,000 hours experience in the trade and

who have been certified as a Construction Electrician by a duly constituted Inside

Construction Local Union of the I.B.E.W. or have been certified as a Construction

Electrician by any Inside Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.

GROUP III All other applicants for employment.

6. If the registration list is exhausted and the Site Local Union is unable to refer applicants for

employment to the Employer within 48 hours from the time of receiving the Employer's

request, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted, the Employer shall be free to secure

applicants without using the Referral Procedure but such applicants, if hired, shall have the

status of "temporary employees".

7. The employer will promptly notify the Business Manager of the names, recommended

classifications and social security numbers of such “temporary employee” and send the

“temporary employee” to the Site Local Union for processing. The Local Union will then

immediately refer those employees back to the recruiting employer with the appropriate

classification. Any questions or disputes regarding this clause shall be referred to the

Northern Ohio Labor Management Committee.

8. "Resident" means a person who has maintained his permanent home in the above

defined geographical area of the Site Local Union for a period of not less than

one year or who, having had a permanent home in this area, has temporarily left

with the intention of returning to this area as his permanent home.


9. The Union shall maintain an Available for Work List, which shall list the applicants within

each Group in chronological order of the dates they register their availability for

employment.

RE-REGISTRATION

10. An applicant who has registered on the Available for Work must renew his application every

30 days or his name will be removed from the List.

11. An applicant who is hired and who receives, through no fault of his own, work of forty

hours or less shall, upon re-registration, be restored to his appropriate place within his

Group.

12. Employers shall advise the Business Manager of the Site Local Union of the number of

applicants needed. The Business Manager shall refer applicants to the Employer by first

referring applicants in Group I in the order of their place on the Available for Work List and

then referring applicants in the same manner successively from the Available for Work List

in Group II, and then Group III. Any applicant who is rejected by the Employer shall be

returned to his appropriate place within his Group and shall be referred to other

employment in accordance with the position of his Group and his place within his Group.

EXCEPTIONS

13. The only exceptions which shall be allowed in this order of referral are as follows:

SKILLS

a) When the Employer states bona fide requirements for skills and abilities in his

request for applicants, the Business Manager shall refer the first applicant on the

register possessing such skills and abilities.


WORKER RECALL

b) An employer shall have the right to recall for employment any former Construction

Electrician employee that the employer has laid off, provided that:

1) The former employee is in the highest level Group on the referral list contained

in this agreement containing applicants available for work, regardless of the

individual’s position on the list;

2) The recall is made within 90 days from the time of layoff;

3) The former employee has not quit his most recent employer under this

agreement within the two weeks prior to the recall request;

FOREMAN CALL BY NAME

c) On projects covered by this agreement, the employer shall have the right to call a

Foreman by name under the IBEW standard inside referral procedure or the referral

procedure contained within this agreement provided:

1) The employee has not quit his previous employer that is signatory to this

agreement within the previous two weeks.

2) The employer shall notify the business manager in writing of the name of the

individual who is to be requested for employment as a Foreman. Upon such

request, the business manager shall refer said Foreman provided the name

appears on the highest-priority group.

3) When an applicant for employment is called as a Foreman, he must remain as a

Foreman for one hundred & sixty (160) hours and may only work on jobs

covered by the scope of this recovery agreement.

APPEALS COMMITTEE

14. An Appeals Committee is hereby established composed of one member appointed by the

Union, one member appointed by the Employer or the Association, as the case may be, and

a Public Member appointed by both these members.

15. It shall be the function of the Appeals Committee to consider any complaint of any

employee or applicant for employment arising out of the administration by the Local Union

of Sections 4 through 13 of the Agreement. The Appeals Committee shall have the power


to make a final and binding decision on any such complaint which shall be complied with by

the Local Union. The Appeals Committee is authorized to issue procedural rules for the

conduct of its business but it is not authorized to add to, subtract from, or modify any of

the provisions of this Agreement and its decisions shall be in accord with this Agreement.

16. A representative of the Employer or of the Association, as the case may be, designated to

the Union in writing, shall be permitted to inspect the Referral Procedure records at any

time during normal business hours.

REPEATED DISCHARGE

17. An applicant who is discharged for cause two times within a 12-month period shall be

referred to the neutral member of the Appeals Committee for a determination as to the

applicant's continued eligibility for referral. The neutral member of the Appeals Committee

shall, within three business days, review the qualifications of the applicant and the reasons

for the discharges.

18. The neutral member of the Appeals Committee may, in his or her sole discretion:

1) require the applicant to obtain further training from the JATC before again being

eligible for referral;

2) disqualify the applicant for referral for a period of four weeks, or longer, depending

on the seriousness of the conduct and/or repetitive nature of the conduct;

3) refer the applicant to an employee assistance program, if available, for evaluation

and recommended action; or

4) restore the applicant to his/her appropriate place on the referral list.

19. A copy of the Referral Procedure set forth in this Agreement shall be posted on the Bulletin

Board in the offices of the Local Union and in the offices of the Employers who are parties

to this Agreement.

In the event there is a shortage of qualified applicants, the employers and the Local Union agree

to participate in Job Fairs and Industry Nights to address the issue.

Union, provided the individual Employer fails to show satisfactory proof that the required

payments have been paid to the appropriate local collection agent.

The failure of an individual Employer to comply with the applicable provisions of the Restated

Employees Benefit Agreement and Trust shall also constitute a breach of this Agreement.

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL ANNUITY PLAN (NEAP):

It is agreed that in accord with the IBEW–District Ten–NECA Individual Equity Retirement Plan

Agreement entered into between the National Electrical Contractors Association, Inc., and the

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on December 11, 1973, as amended, and now

delineated as the National Electrical Annuity Plan Agreement and Trust, that unless authorized

otherwise by the National Electrical Annuity Plan (NEAP), the individual employer will forward

monthly to NEAP's designated collection agent the amount set forth in Attachment “A” (the

contribution obligation) together with a completed payroll report prescribed by the NEAP. The

payment shall be made by check or draft and shall constitute a debt due and owing to NEAP on

the last day of each calendar month, which may be recovered by suit initiated by NEAP or its

assignee. The payment and the payroll report shall be mailed to reach NEAP not later than 15

calendar days following the end of each calendar month.

The individual Employer hereby accepts, and agrees to be bound by, the National Electrical

Annuity Plan Agreement and Trust.

An individual Employer who fails to remit as provided above shall be additionally subject to having

his agreement terminated upon 72 hours notice in writing being served by the Union, provided the

individual employer fails to show satisfactory proof that the required payments have been paid to

the appropriate collection agent.

The failure of an individual employer to comply with the applicable provisions of the National

Electrical Annuity Plan Agreement and Trust shall also constitute a breach of his labor agreement.

NECA/IBEW FAMILY MEDICAL CARE PLAN

The individual Employer shall contribute and forward monthly to the IBEW Family Medical Care

Trust Fund an amount as the amount set forth in Appendix “A” which he is obligated to pay to the
