ARTICLE IV
Referral

Section 4.01 In the interest of maintaining an efficient system of production in the industry, providing for an orderly procedure of referral of applicants for employment, preserving the legitimate interest of the employees in their employment status within the area, and of eliminating discrimination in employment because of membership or non membership in the Union, the parties hereto agree to the following system of referral of applicants for employment:

Section 4.03 The Employer shall have the right to reject any applicant for employment.

Section 4.04 The Union shall select and refer applicants for employment without discrimination against such applicants by reason or membership or non membership in the Union and such selection and referral shall not be affected in any way by rules, regulations, bylaws, constitutional provisions or any other aspect or obligation of Union membership policies or requirements. All such selection and referral shall be in accord with the following procedure.

Section 4.05 The Union shall maintain a register of applicants for employment established on the basis of the Groups listed below. Each applicant for employment shall be registered in the highest priority Group for which he qualifies.

Section 4.06 If the registration list is exhausted and the Union is unable to refer applicants for employment to the Employer within forty eight (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 Employee."

Section 4.07 The Employer shall notify the Business Manager promptly of the names and Social Security numbers of such temporary employees, and shall replace such temporary employees as soon as registered applicants for employment are available under the referral procedure.

**That portion south of a line following the south limits of the City of Catskill in a westerly direction from the Hudson River to Highway 23A along 23A to the road following the little West Kill and continuing along this road to Delaware County.

The above geographical area is agreed upon by the parties to include the areas defined by the Secretary of Labor to be the appropriate prevailing wage areas under the Davis Bacon Act to which this Agreement applies.

Section 4.13 Employers shall advise the Business Manager of the 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 "Out of Work List" and then referring applicants in the same manner successively from the "Out of Work List" in Group II, Group III, and Group IV. 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 with the Group.

Section 4.14 The only exceptions which shall be allowed in this order of referral are as follows:

• When the Employer states bona fide requirements for special skills and abilities in his request for applicants, the Business Manager shall refer the first applicant on the register possessing such skills and abilities.
• The age ratio clause in the Agreement calls for the employment of an additional employee or employees on the basis of age, the Business Manager shall refer first applicant on the register satisfying the applicable age requirements provided, however, that all names in high priority groups, if any, shall first be exhausted before such coverage reference can be made.

Section 4.15 An Appeals Committee is hereby established composed of one member appointed by the Union, one member appointed by the Employer or by the Association, as the case may be, and a Public Member appointed by both these members.

Section 4.16 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 Section 4.04 and 4.15 of this Article. The Appeals Committee shall have the power to make a final and binding decision on any such complaint which shall be complied with the Local Union.

• Temporary employees, if any are employed, shall be laid off first. Then employees in Group IV shall be laid off next, if any are employed in this Group. Next to be laid off are employees in Group III, if any are employed in this Group, then those in Group II, and then those in Group I.
• Paragraph (a) will not apply as long as the special skills requirement as provided for in Section 4.14 (a) is required.
• Supervisory employees covered by the terms of this Agreement will be excluded from layoff as long as they remain in a supervisory capacity. When they are reduced to the status of Journeyman, they will be slotted in the appropriate Group in paragraph (a) above.
