I don't know if I would even call that "indirect" filling a job opening but I 
believe it is a definite violation of 652.9

        Hi Jack - I think the temp agency situation would fit under the 
regulations since the employer is the recipient of the services.  Hope all is 
well.  Are you planning a trip to NYC to bring your daughter to college?

        Another wrinkle on the issue raised by Phyllis re: referral in cases of 
strikes or lockouts.  I had a question posed just today regarding a private 
temp agency placing a job order into our job matching system through which they 
are filling vacant positions with an employer in a lockout situation.  I am 
assuming that this would fit into the "indirect" filling of the job opening 
category under 20 CFR 652.9.  Any thoughts?

        We were just asked this same question by a WIB that wants to work with 
an employer. I think to the extent the WIB is placing job orders in a State job 
bank operated under Wagner Peyser funding and thereby acting as an agent of the 
state, the regulations would apply.  This raises the interesting question about 
the relationship between ES and WIA.

        Federal Employment Service law states that applicants are to be given 
notice of strikes or lockouts prior to being referred to an employer. (29 USCS 
§49j)  The federal regs state that state offices are not to refer on job orders 
which will directly or indirectly aid in filling an opening that is vacant 
because a former occupant is on strike or has been locked out because of a 
labor dispute.  It the goes on to include that a referral can be made for 
another position not on strike or lock out but notice of the labor dispute must 
be given.

        Aside for the fact that I haven't found any basis in the law for 
restricting the referral, the question has arisen as to whether this would 
apply to WIA programs.  As yet I have not found anything in the WIA law.  Any 
comments or suggestions?  Thanks
