Common use of Sublet Work: A Clause in Contracts

Sublet Work: A. The parties acknowledge that a close relationship exists between the Employer and its subcontractors on its job sites; and that employment of craftsmen at a particular job site is sporadic, necessitating a ready supply of craftsmen such as are available through the resources of the Union; that precise knowledge concerning present and prospective labor costs is essential to the Employer for the purpose of bidding; and that it is necessary and desirous to reduce the friction that results when union and non-union workers are required to work together at the same job site. The parties recognize the strong interest of the Union in insuring continuity of hiring hall employment opportunities for its members, and continuity of funding as and for the employee benefit trust funds, to the benefit of its members and their dependents. The parties recognize in this regard that such objectives can best be achieved by requiring that all work described in this Agreement be performed by business concerns signatory to this Agreement.
