intends to introduce modification in its hotel, it shall meet with the
UNION at least thirty (30) days in advance of its intention to implement
same, to discuss the ramifications.

terminations are not those referred to In Section 22(B) and (C) hereof.

example, and not by way of a limitation, it is understood that neither the
mere introduction of new equipment (such as an electric for a manual
typewriter), nor retraining on advanced equipment (where job skills are
not broadened) are modifications requiring any of the remedies set forth
above, including and adjustment in the wage scale.
Revised by 1995 MoU to:
(C) It is agreed that the introduction of new
technology or equipment or certain modifications which may broaden job
skills, duties or responsibilities does not automatically require
additional compensation or an adjustment in the wage rate of the affected
employees.

the requested leave of absence.
(C) An employee on leave of absence hereunder shall not take other

STUDY COMMITTEE
55
The parties agree to convene joint study committees each consisting of
an equal number of members designated by the ASSOCIATION and the UNION to study and report
upon problems relating to the following:
A. Industry-Wide Benefit Programs
B. Industry Training Fund
C. Delayed or Cancelled Flights
D. Job Posting and Bidding
E. Grievance Procedures
F. Major Structural Alterations
G. Operating Distinctions Between Hotels
H. Productivity
In the event that any of the foregoing study committees are unable to
reach agreement, within ninety (90) days or such other time as the parties
may agree, either party shall have the right to submit the matter to the
Impartial Chairman for decision.
(A) The parties recognize (i) the need to continue to provide the variety
of benefits offered by the Industry-wide pension, welfare and training
programs, (hereinafter called "benefit programs"), (ii) the
necessity of maintaining the high standards of quality contained in each
of the benefit programs, and (iii) the financial pressures on said program
due to inflation. Therefore, the parties will immediately establish a
joint study committee to study and formulate the plans required to
support, maintain and/or improve each of the benefit programs.
(B) The parties recognize the significant achievements of the Industry
Training Program and the need to maintain the program. Accordingly, the
parties agree that the trustees of said program shall at their earliest
opportunity study the present conditions of the program, the industry
needs and the best method of providing upgrading to the employees employed
in the industry. Upon completion of the study the trustees shall adopt a
program to meet the needs and requirements of the industry and its
employees. In the event the trustees are unable to agree on such a program
either party may submit the matter to the Impartial Chairman for decision.
(C) The UNION contends that the earning capacity of front service
employees and a la carte waiters/waitresses has been adversely affected as
a result of the problems encountered by hotels in servicing guests who are
affected by delayed or cancelled flights and that therefore the earnings
of these employees have been reduced. The UNION has therefore proposed,
and the ASSOCIATION has agreed, to the establishment of a joint study
committee to conduct a study of the UNION'S claim and report its finding
to the parties. The committee is empowered to make specific proposals as
to how to deal with the results of their study.
(D) The parties hereto agree to convene a joint study committee to examine
the advisability of, and the best method of, if so agreed, establishing a
program whereby all job openings shall be posted for bids. The purpose of
such a program, if same is found to be needed, would be to enable
employees to bid on such openings. Among the issues to be considered by
the committee are seniority, ability, the needs of the hotel, the right of
part-time employees to have preference over new hires for full-time jobs
within the classification in which they are employed, and the right of the
UNION 19 file a grievance if a bid request is denied. The parties
recognize the great variety of skills by various groups of employees
within the hotels and therefore agree that any program adopted shall
provide that bidding, and filling of job openings may, in the EMPLOYER'S
discretion be limited to those employees in the same classification.
(E) The parties agree to meet and revise the grievance machinery in
accordance with their mutual agreement, or upon the recommendation of a
third party or parties from whom they may request an overall study, review
and analysis of this machinery. Pending mutual agreement as to the
language, the present machinery shall be continued. In the event the
parties fail to agree within one hundred eighty (180) days, either party
shall the right to submit this matter to the Impartial Chairman, who shall be
empowered to make a final and binding decision on any and all matters not
resolved by the parties not later than forty-five (45) days after
submission of this matter.
(F) The parties hereto agree to convene a joint study committee to study
and report on a revision of Section 17 concerning Major Structural
Alterations.
(G) The parties recognize that significant operational distinctions exist
between hotels as
a result of location, size, market and nature of operation, (i.e.,
cooperatives,
residential, proximity to theaters and shopping). Further, they recognize
the need
to provide suitable programs for all hotels, which will enable said hotels
to remain
viable in order to insure their continued operation and employment of
members of
the UNION. Therefore, the parties agree to forthwith convene a study
committee to
determine the nature of such relief, if any, as may be required to
accomplish the
recognized needs set forth above.
(H) The parties, in an effort to Insure the continued growth of the
industry, and in recognition of the ever changing needs and services to be
provided to clients of the hotels, as well as the continually changing
patterns of operations employed by the industry agree to immediately
establish a joint committee to study and formulate such programs as might
be required to assist the hotels in attaining greater productivity in
order to enable the hotels to offer better services to their guests. Among
the areas of study are those of the front service, banquet, housekeeping
and front office departments. It is understood, however, that either party
may add to the departments to be reviewed by the study committee.
