Sec.46a-68-9. Non-compliance with equal opportunity requirement

A consistent pattern or practice of non-compliance by a sponsor (or where the sponsor is a joint apprenticeship committee, by one of the parties represented on such committee) with federal and state laws or regulations requiring equal opportunity may be grounds for the imposition of sanctions in accordance with section 12 if such compliance is related to the equal employment opportunity of apprentices and/or graduates of such an apprenticeship program under this regulation. When such a pattern or practice is determined not to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the department shall notify the sponsor that it will be given 60 days to bring its program into compliance with these laws and regulations. The sponsor shall take affirmative steps to assist and cooperate with employees and unions in voluntarily fulfilling their equal opportunity obligations.
