The following standards shall apply to each program administered under this Act: A youth participant in a program administered under this Act may not displace any currently employed worker (including a partial displacement, such as a reduction in the hours of non-overtime work, wages, or employment benefits). A program administered under this Act may not impair any existing contract for services or collective bargaining agreement, and may not undertake any activity that would be inconsistent with the terms of a collective bargaining agreement without the written concurrence of the labor organization and employer concerned.
A youth participant in a program administered under this Act may not be employed in a job if— any other individual is on layoff, including any employee with recall rights, from the same or any substantially equivalent job; the vacancy is due to a strike or lockout; the employer has terminated the employment of any employee or otherwise reduced the workforce of the employer with the intention of filling the vacancy so created with the youth participant; or the job is created in a promotional line that will infringe in any way upon the promotional opportunities of any currently employed worker.
An entity administering a program under this Act shall establish and maintain a grievance procedure to resolve any complaint of an alleged violation of this displacement rule. This regulation may not preempt or supersede any State or local law providing greater protections for employees against displacement. Each recipient of funds under this Act shall provide to the Secretary of Labor assurances that no amounts from such funds will be used to assist, promote, or deter labor union organizing and collective bargaining.
A youth participant in on-the-job training or employed in a program administered under this Act shall be provided benefits and working conditions at the same level and to the same extent as other trainees or employees working a similar length of time and doing the same type of work. An entity administering a program under this Act must take affirmative steps to ensure that it provides equal access to favorable opportunities for youth participants without regard to their race, ethnicity, color, national origin, sex, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, military status, parenting status, disability, or genetic information.
