JUT is an agreed upon working condition between Labor and Contractors in section 5.9 of the Master Labor Agreement (MLA). Consistent, documented and professional training differentiates us from labor competitors. A well trained work force recaptures market share and empowers DC16 Local Unions and Contractors to sustain a fair wage and benefits package.

The Master Labor Agreement is a living document that has evolved through negotiation after negotiation. As it stands currently, it is the culmination of decades of work by both the contractors and labor. The master labor agreement protects workers and profits.
