Work Study Program. The parties agree that working with educational institutions to provide work-study opportunities to students is an appro- priate contribution to the craft. The purpose is to further the education of individuals, to provide them with work experi- ence and build relationships between the parties. Participants must be enrolled in a full-time, post-secondary educational institution, such as a journalism school that has a requirement of work-study prior to graduation. Individual internships shall not exceed six (6) weeks in dur- ation unless there is a bonafide educational requirement. At the discretion of the company there may be up to ninety (90) cumulative weeks of internships in the school year (Septem- ber to June). Participants in work-study programs shall not be considered employees for the purposes of this agreement and will be paid a weekly honorarium of ($125 per week). Any such par- ticipant required to work hours not normally scheduled for the work-study, shall be paid at 75% of the “start” rate of the classification he or she is assigned for those hours worked. Students in this program will not be scheduled to replace full or part time employees.
