HAR §12-30-4. Registration procedures

(a) Under a program sponsored for registration by an employer or employers' association, where the standards, collective bargaining agreement, or other instrument provide for participation by a union in any matter in the operation of the substantive matters of the apprenticeship program, and such participation is exercised, written acknowledgment of union agreement to the registration is required. Where no such participation is evidenced and practiced, the employer or employers' association shall simultaneously furnish to the union, if any, which is the collective bargaining agent of the employees to be trained, a copy of its apprenticeship program for registration. The department shall provide a period of sixty days for receipt of union comments, before final action or approval. (b) Where the employees to be trained have no collective bargaining agent, an apprenticeship program may be proposed for registration by an employer or group of employers. (c) If the sponsor is involved in any abnormal labor situation such as a strike, lockout, or other similar situation, the approval of an application for an apprenticeship program may be withheld by the department until such time as the department determines that the situation is resolved. (d) If it is determined by the department that a sponsor is in violation of any federal or state labor laws or rules and regulations affecting registration of programs, the approval of the application for an apprenticeship program may be withheld by the department until the department determines that such issues are resolved. (e) Approved apprenticeship programs shall be accorded registration, evidenced by written approval by the department. (f) Any proposed modification or change to registered programs shall be promptly submitted to the department, and if approved, shall be recorded and acknowledged as a revision of such programs.
