NATIONAL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS POLICY COMMITTEE (NMAPC)

The NMAPC administers the National Maintenance Agreement and the National Power Generation Maintenance Agreement.

The NMAPC Program

Provides a cost effective vehicle for construction contractors and skilled building tradesmen to perform maintenance and repair work for America’s industrial and manufacturing base. The vehicle is the NMAPC program, a labor-management organization that can reduce labor costs by at least 16 percent. Some of these cost savings include:

• No strike clause - including substantial penalties
• Mandated pre-job conferences
• Alternate dispute resolution to reduce workman’s compensation insurance costs
• 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.
