    organization  that  is in no way influenced or controlled
    by the management,  that  agreement  and  its  provisions
    shall  be  considered  as  conditions  prevalent  in that
    locality and shall be the minimum requirements taken into
    consideration by the Director of Labor.
         (3)  Collective bargaining agreements between  State
    employees  and  the  State of Illinois shall not be taken
    into account by the Department of  Labor  in  determining
