Programs described in its return (3)
- $368,634 spent. THE UNION ALLOCATES A PORTION OF ASSESSMENTS TO AN EQUALITY FUND. THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED TO ALLOW UNION CONTRACTORS TO BID AGAINST NON-UNION CONTRACTORS AS A SUPPLEMENT TO PROVIDE A MORE COMPETITIVE BID FOR THE UNION CONTRACT BIDDER. BIDS ARE ALLOTTED AT A PRE-DETERMINED AMOUNT BASED ON THE JOB AND TIME THAT IS CALCULATED FOR THE BID. THE BOARD APPROVES EACH SUPPLEMENT FOR A PRE-DETERMINED RATE PER MEMBER HOUR WORKED ON THE JOB. TIME SHEETS ARE TURNED INTO THE UNION AND THE BOARD APPROVES THE PAYMENT TO CONTRACTORS BASED ON THE AMOUNT THAT WAS APPROVED PER HOUR FOR A PARTICULAR BID. THIS IS GENERALLY RESERVED FOR SIGNIFICANT JOBS WHERE NON-UNION CONTRACTORS BID ALONGSIDE UNION CONTRACTORS. THIS PROGRAM KEEPS IN MIND THE MISSION OF THE UNION TO PROVIDE FAIR WAGES AND JOB PROTECTION.
