NECA Labor Relations has put together a bulletin on the "Right to Reject" and how it applies to contractors.

In the construction industry’s hiring hall system, union halls refer available applicants to signatory contractors for employment. IBEW-NECA Category I language includes a clause commonly referred to as the “Right to Reject.” This critical risk management tool ensures employers are not forced to hire an applicant for employment. However, this right exists within the framework of U.S. Federal labor law and exercising it improperly can trigger grievances or unfair labor practice charges.  

This bulletin gives contractors an overview of what "Right to Reject" is, the legal basis for this law, NLRA limitations, and best practices for exercising the Right to Reject.
