The following requirements shall apply to programs under this

shall be undertaken without the written concurrence of the labor
organization and employer concerned.
(3) Prohibition on replacement
No student participating in such a program shall be employed or
fill a job--
(A) when any other individual is on temporary layoff, with
the clear possibility of recall, from the same or any
substantially equivalent job with the participating employer; or
(B) when the employer has terminated the employment of any
regular employee or otherwise reduced the workforce of the
employer with the intention of filling the vacancy so created
with the student.

chapter that may exist under other Federal laws, except as expressly
provided by this chapter.
(6) Prohibition concerning wages
Funds appropriated under authority of this chapter shall not be
expended for wages of students or workplace mentors participating in
such programs.
