Common use of Union Agreements Clause in Contracts

Union Agreements. Subcontractor, to the extent permissible under Federal and any applicable State laws, shall comply with, observe, and be bound by all the terms and provisions of any labor agreements executed by Contractor or on Contractor's behalf, specifically including the terms and provisions of any such agreements providing (a) for the assignment of work or the settlement of jurisdictional disputes (through the Rules, Regulations and Procedures of the National Joint Board for Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Building and Construction Industry or any other agreed method for the determination of work assignments or the settlement of jurisdictional disputes), (b) for the adjustment of any other disputes or grievances, (c) for hiring and union‐security and (d) for the making of payments into or under health and welfare or other fringe benefit funds or plans, to the extent that the terms and provisions of such agreements can legally be applied to the work to be done hereunder. Subcontractor agrees that if any portion of such work is further subcontracted, such sub‐subcontractor shall be bound by and observe the terms and provisions of such agreements to the same extent as is herein required of Subcontractor, and that an express provision imposing such obligation upon the sub‐subcontractor shall be included in any such sub‐subcontract. Subcontractor will indemnify, defend and save Contractor harmless from and against any liability, claim, loss, damage or cause of action resulting in any way, directly or indirectly, from his failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. The wages and working conditions of Subcontractor shall be of the same standard as those of Contractor and shall be subject to Contractor's approval. To the best knowledge and belief of the parties, this Subcontract now contains no provision that is contrary to Federal or to State law or any ruling or regulation of a Federal or State agency. Should, however, any provision of this Subcontract at any time during its term be in conflict with any such law, ruling or regulation, then such provision shall continue in effect only to the extent permitted. In the event any provision of this Subcontract is thus held inoperative, the remaining provisions of this Subcontract shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.
