Union Average Rate Identifiers <br />Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed <br />for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union <br />data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union <br />average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal <br />number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey <br />completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. <br />A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted <br />average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. <br />WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS <br />1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: <br />* an existing published wage determination <br />* a survey underlying a wage determination <br />* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter <br />* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling <br />On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should <br />be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted <br />because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the <br />response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) <br />should be followed. <br />With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial <br />contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: <br />Branch of Construction Wage Determinations <br />Wage and Hour Division <br />U.S. Department of Labor <br />200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. <br />Washington, DC 20210 <br />2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the <br />action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator <br />(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).
