MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
between the
INTERIOR DEMOLITION CONTRACTOS ASSOCIATION
and the
MASON TENDERS DISTRICT COUNCIL
The Interior Demolition Contractors Association (the “IDCA” or the “Association”) and the
Mason Tenders District Council of Greater New York on behalf of itself and its constituent Locals
78 and 79, (the “Union” or the “MTDC”) recently concluded negotiations for a new collective
bargaining agreement (the “Agreement”) to take effect July 1, 2021. In the course of these
negotiations, IDCA and MTDC agreed as follows:
1 . Agreement: The IDCA and MTDC shall execute a four-year collective bargaining agreement
which shall be effective as of July 1, 2021 and shall expire at midnight on June 30, 2025.
2. Terms: The terms of the Agreement shall be the same as the terms of the agreement between
the parties that expired on June 30, 2021, except for necessary modifications in dates, except
as specifically specified below and except as provided in the pre-negotiation agreement
between the parties (attached hereto) which shall be incorporated by reference herein.
3. Wages: Subject to the Union’s right to allocate and/or reallocate, there shall be a fifty cent
($.50) per hour increase in wages for all Demolition Workers effective July 1, 2021, followed
by a seventy-five cent ($.75) per hour increase in wages on each of the following dates: July
1, 2022, July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024.
4. Paid Sick Time. Add a new section under Article XII to the effect: The provisions of the
administrative code of the city of New York, Title 20 Chapter 8 (Earned Sick Time Act)
and those of New York State Labor Law 196-b (Paid Sick Leave), in relation to the
provisions of sick time earned by employees covered by this Agreement, are expressly
waived by the parties to this collective bargaining agreement because comparable benefits
are already provided in this Agreement.
5. Resolution of Certain Delinquency Cases. The following shall be considered a collectively
bargained Side Letter between the parties (i.e. its exclusion from the consolidated
Agreement shall not diminish its effectiveness). In connection with audits of hours worked
prior to July 1, 2021 for which the Employer paid wages at the Skilled Demolition Worker
(Tier A) rate, Employers shall not be found in delinquency, and shall have no obligation, for
making contributions at the Tier A fringe benefit rate (rather than the General Demolition
Worker (Tier B) fringe benefit rate), provided that the Employer: i) is otherwise in
compliance with the Tier A/Tier B ratio set forth in Article VI, Section 1 of the Agreement
or makes a payment to obtain compliance with said ratio; and ii) has not previously contributed at
the Tier A rate on behalf of the employee at issue. For all hours worked after July 1, 2021, the
Tier A fringe benefit contribution rates shall apply to work with respect to which wages are
paid at the Tier A wage rate or higher (the “Tier A for Tier A Rule”). Without limitation
on the July 1, 2021 effective date for the Tier A for Tier A Rule, with respect to hours
{01 127881.DOCX;42 I
worked between July 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021, an Employer shall not be charged latepayment interest on amounts submitted to supplement to Tier A levels (the “Supplemental
Tier A Payment”) benefit contributions originally paid at the Tier B rate (the “Original Tier
B Payment”), provided: the Employer’s Tier A Supplemental Payment is made to the
Mason Tenders District Council Fringe Benefit Funds on or before March 31, 2022 (with
an accompanying appropriate remittance form).
6. IDCA. Execution of this Agreement by IDCA binds all members of IDCA to its terms.
7. Facsimile and Email. For purposes of execution of this Memorandum of Agreement,
facsimiled or emailed signatures shall be treated as originals.
