- All overtime will be at a rate of 1½ times normal pay except for Sundays and holidays
- All crafts observe the same seven (7) unpaid holidays
- Flexibility in scheduling
- Commitment to a drug free workplace
- Contractor determines crew size needed
- Welder certification cost control
- Only 1 foreman per craft on any shift is guaranteed 40 hours pay
- Provision to enable participants to respond to changing needs
The Committee
The National Maintenance Agreement Policy Committee is the construction industry’s first incorporated labor-management committee. Its members are 14 national maintenance contractors and 14 representatives from the participating International Unions of the Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO. The office of the Impartial Secretary administers the NMAPC Program with a full time staff located in Arlington, Virginia. The Committee is a proactive entity which meets regularly to administer the NMAPC Program and provide a national forum to promote labor-management cooperative efforts in construction.
