<br /> women are underutilized and will take appropriate affirmative action to rectify any such
<br /> underutilization.
<br /> B) That, if it hires additional employees in order to perform this agreement or any portion
<br /> thereof, it will determine the availability (in accordance with the Department's Rules and
