Common use of Ratios Clause in Contracts

Ratios. Except as provided below, the ratio of apprentices to Journeypersons shall be one (1) apprentice to each five (5) Journeypersons employed. The ratio may be amended as the Company's need for Journeypersons arises on the approval of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee. In any trade where there are not sufficient numbers of Journeypersons to permit the entry of an apprentice, one apprentice will be allowed up to the number of Journeypersons employed in the trade, but no additional apprentices will be allowed until such time as an additional five (5) Journeypersons are employed in that trade. When the ratio in any trade is greater than one (1) apprentice to each five (5) Journeypersons and layoffs become necessary, the ratio of apprentices to Journeypersons shall revert to one (1) apprentice for each five (5) Journeypersons. Should a requirement be identified for a third Pipefitter on a permanent basis, the requirement for a third position will be filled by a Pipefitter Apprentice. The ratio of apprentices to Journeyperson Pipefitter shall be one (1) apprentice to two (2) Journeypersons employed for a first apprenticeship position; thereafter, the ratio shall revert to one (1) apprentice to every five (5) Journeyperson Pipefitters employed.
