Selection of Employees-in-Training
Agreement dated this 19th day of November, 1973, between General Motors Corporation and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW),
WHEREAS, the parties have as a mutual objective maximizing employment opportunities for minorities and women as employees-in-training in skilled trades classifications, and
WHEREAS, the parties recognize a need to increase the utilization of minorities and women as employees-in-training at certain locations, and
WHEREAS, the parties recognize that an acceptable utilization rate of minorities and women as employees-in-training may vary from location to location depending upon a complex of circumstances, including the availability of such individuals in the labor market or in the work force having the requisite qualifications for and interest in skilled trades work, and
WHEREAS, the applicable law governing the selection of individuals as employees-in-training in the skilled trades is undergoing continuing development and refinement.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. The GM-UAW Skilled Trades and Apprentice Committee, in consultation with the National Equal Application Committee, shall review the utilization of minorities and women as employees-in-training in skilled trades classifications at the various locations to determine whether obstacles exist to the achievement of a more representative utilization of such employees who are qualified and interested in skilled trades work; and,
2. Where such obstacles are determined to exist, the GM-UAW National Skilled Trades and Apprentice Committee shall agree upon appropriate action to remedy particular situations or to establish various methods of selection including, where practicable, the establishment of special pre-EIT training programs to further equal employment opportunity for minorities and women in the employee-in-training program.
