collective bargaining information between local units and national contractor associations and national building and construction trades unions. This should include an obligation on the part of local contractor chapters and local unions to notify their national affiliates of their desire to amend the collective bargaining agreement at the same time that they notify the other party (60 days prior to expiration).
-National unions and contractor associations should undertake a review to determine the adequacy of their staff resources in the collective bargaining and economic analysis areas and their capacity to provide assistance to local units in particularly difficult or significant negotiations.
-The Department of Labor should develop annually a calendar of construction industry agreement expirations in the ensuing year and provide such information to the national offices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the building trades unions, and the contractor associations.
-Local unions should be encouraged to delegate binding authority to a team of bargainers chosen by the rank-and-file in order to reduce the uncertainties attached to contract negotiations requiring ratification.
-Local unions which continue to require contract ratification should be encouraged to review their procedures to assure that only those members covered by the agreement are permitted to participate in the ratification process.
-A comprehensive review should be undertaken by the Department of Labor of the unions experiences under Titles I and III of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (provisions relating to the union members" "Bill of Rights" and trusteeships established by a national union over subordinate bodies). If warranted by the findings of such study, legislative proposals should be developed.
