MAIN INDEX PARAGRAPH 141 - 150 Standard Work Week (141) To maintain the proper schedule for graduating apprentices, their standard work week, including time spent in connection with related training, shall be forty (40) hours. (a) Apprentices may be assigned to overtime work when all journeymen/women on the shift in the equalization group with which the apprentices in the course of their training are currently associated, are either scheduled to work overtime or have had the opportunity to work overtime. Deviation from this provision may be negotiated by local Management and the Shop Committee. [See Par. (21)] [See App. I] (b) Equalization of any overtime available to apprentices is subject to local arrangement between Local Management and the Union in a manner consistent with the shop and related training of each apprentice. (c) Individual apprentices will not be assigned to work overtime for the purpose of completing their apprentice training ahead of other apprentices in like circumstances in the trade. (142) In case apprentices are required to work overtime, they shall receive credit on the term of apprenticeship for only the actual hours of work. [See Par. (133)] Allowance - Tools, Books, Supplies (143) As soon as practicable after being placed in an apprentice group, apprentices will be furnished an appropriate tool box, which will become the property of the apprentice upon graduation. At the same time and also upon satisfactory completion of the first period of 916 hours of work they will be paid an allowance of $200.00 for the purchase of tools, books and supplies. Upon satisfactory completion of the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh periods of 916 hours of work in the apprentice program, apprentices will be paid $100.00 for the purchase of tools, books and supplies. Management will assist apprentices in obtaining tools. Upon completion of all shop and related training requirements and graduation, apprentices will receive the balance, if any, of the total allowance of $1,100.00 including credit granted for prior experience pursuant to Paragraph (132) less any such payments previously received. Apprentice Training Agreement (144) All apprentices (and if they are minors, their parent or guardian) shall be required to sign an Apprentice Training Agreement. A copy of the Apprentice Training Agreement shall be furnished to the Apprentice. The Apprentice Training Agreement shall be registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, U.S. Department of Labor. [See Par. (127)(h)] Related Training (145) Apprentices shall be required during the period of this apprentice program, to complete a program of related and supplemental classroom instructions not to exceed 576 hours during a four-year training course, less the amount of related training for which they received credit pursuant to Paragraph (132). Exceptions up to a maximum of 672 hours may be jointly recommended for specific classifications by the Local Apprentice Committee subject to approval by the GM-UAW Skilled Trades and Apprentice Committee. [See Par. (122)f, (127)(m), (137)(d), (148)] [See Doc. 65] [See CSA #22] (146) Time spent by apprentices in connection with related training shall not be considered time worked under this Agreement; nevertheless, time spent by apprentices in taking required related training shall be paid for at the apprentices’ straight time hourly rate. [See Par. (133), (137)(d)] [See Doc. 65] (147) Whether related training shall be conducted by local Management or through a local educational institution, or otherwise, shall be determined by local Management in light of prevailing circumstances in the community. Management will notify and discuss this matter with the local Apprentice Committee. However, the final determination will remain the responsibility of Management. (148) The Corporation agrees to pay, on behalf of apprentices covered by this Agreement, registration fees and/or tuition required in connection with related training under the apprentice program, but not to exceed 576 hours of related training. [See Par. (137)(d), (145)] Progress Reports (149) An accurate record shall be kept of the hours worked by each apprentice under the training program. These hours shall be recorded on appropriate forms. Where the basic work processes are subdivided on the uniform shop training schedules, a more detailed breakdown of hours conforming to such subdivisions, which do not change the uniform shop training schedules, may be developed locally. [See Par. (123), (145)] [See CSA #22] (149a) Optional hours are provided in each shop training schedule to be used as follows: [See Par. (145)] [See CSA #22] (1) To give additional training over and above the hours designated in the shop training schedule in those phases which would be most beneficial to apprentices in acquiring their journeyman/woman status. (2) To give training in related phases of the trade not specifically designated in the shop training schedule but normally required of journeymen/women. Certificate of Completion (150) Upon completion of apprenticeship, a certificate, a copy of which is contained in the General Motors-UAW Standard Apprentice Plan, shall be issued to the apprentice. The certificate shall be signed by Local Management and the Union Members of the Local Apprentice Committee. The Local Apprentice Committee will recommend to the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, U.S. Department of Labor, or to the state agency in those states where appropriate, that a certificate signifying completion of the apprenticeship be issued to the Apprentice.
