The General Presidents’ Project Maintenance Agreement is designed to provide skilled, highly trained craft people to contractors who perform continuing supplemental maintenance work at industrial sites throughout the United States, using a nationally negotiated collective bargaining agreement designed to provide many cost saving provisions to the owner community.

Included are:

• No strike clause
• No wage premiums or guaranteed overtime
• No subsistence or travel pay
• No payment required for Industry Promotion Funds
• All overtime at a rate of 1½ times normal pay, except for 2 times normal pay on Sundays and holidays
• Seven(7) unpaid holidays each year
• Standard for all crafts:
  • Starting and quitting time
  • Shift conditions
  • Staggered work week schedules available if desired
  • Permanent four-cycle shift system available if desired
  • Contractor determines crew size and number of Foremen
  • One job-site representative or steward for each craft
  • Eliminate non-productive work time
  • Eliminate excessive manning requirements and standby practices

The agreement is administered by one high level International representative from each of the 14 participating crafts, plus an administrator from the Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, and the Associated Maintenance Contractors. The Agreement has been in place since 1956 and has generated many millions of man hours of work each year.
