UNION LABEL ON PRINTING - 2870

All documents printed in-house by Bargaining Unit 14 members or produced by OSP shall have the Bargaining Unit 14, Printing and Allied Trades, union label displayed.

When individual state agencies or OSP vends printed material out, state agencies must adhere to the Public Contract Code when soliciting bids for state printing. This assures that no vendor will be excluded from bidding and winning a state project based on union affiliation or lack thereof. Unionized printing vendors will be required to display the appropriate union label on the printed product.

State agencies are not to add the union label to artwork or include it in electronic files unless the work is going to the agencies own Bargaining Unit 14 in plant operation.

OSP will add the union label to artwork prior to printing or the private printer will affix their own union label if the job is awarded to union printers. Private printers that are not unionized are not allowed to use any union label or facsimile thereof.
