SECTION 1. RATIOS

Recognizing the need to maintain continuing supportive programs designed

to develop adequate numbers of competent workers in the construction industry and to

provide craft entry opportunities for minorities, women and economically disadvantaged

non-minority males, Contractors will employ apprentices in their respective crafts to

perform such work as is within their capabilities and which is customarily performed by

the craft in which they are indentured. Contractors may utilize apprentices and such other

appropriate classifications in the maximum ratio permitted by the New York State

Department of Labor or the maximum allowed per trade. Apprentices and such other

classifications as are appropriate shall be employed in a manner consistent with the

provisions of the appropriate Schedule A. The parties encourage, as an appropriate source

of apprentice recruitment consistent with the rules and operations of the affiliated unions'

apprentice-programs, the use of the Edward J. Malloy Initiative for Construction Skills,

Non-Traditional Employment for Women and Helmets to Hardhats.
