submitted on 10/26/18 for pre - qualification SECTION 26 Affirmative Action Plan Affirmative Action Plan, Goals and Timetables Our commitment: The joint apprenticeship and training committee (JATC) for the Construction Craft Laborers of Ohio confirms its commitment to equal employment opportunity in the recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices in our craft. This affirmative action plan is one means of satisfying this commitment. We recognize that affirmative action is not mere passive nondiscrimination, but involves action directed toward equalizing opportunity in apprenticeship to allow full utilization of minority and female (minority and non -minority) workers' potential. We have adopted the equal opportunity pledge in our apprenticeship standards. The JATC will make a determined effort to disseminate this policy internally in the union and among the participating employers. The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, or sex. The JATC shall take Affirmative Action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 30; Ohio Administrative Code 5101:11; and the equal employment opportunity regulations of the State of Ohio. We have conducted an employment analysis of minority and women Construction Craft Laborers' in the geographic area of coverage of our apprenticeship program, and compared the results to data supplied us by the registration agency for our program. The data shown in the attachment to this plan indicates a significant underutilization of women and a very moderate underutilization of minority group persons. We recognize that ours is a traditionally male occupation, in part because of the conditions of employment in heat, cold, wet and physically demanding conditions, and in part, because of the general public perception of the status of our craft among those of the construction industry. To generate a movement for change in composition and perception of our craft, the JATC will enter into partnerships with work force development entities serving the targeted populations, such as "Youth Build" programs.
