ADDENDUM III

The parties recognize that heretofore the Union had insisted, and the Association and the hotel employers signatory to this Agreement had refused, to equalize the wages of room attendants and housekeeping attendants. At the direction of the Association and the Union a joint study committee was convened to study and resolve the parties' differences with regard to this issue. Failing to resolve their differences, the parties in 1984 referred the wage equalization issue to the Impartial Chairman of the Hotel Industry of New York for final determination.
On January 14, 1985 and thereafter, the Impartial Chairman rendered a series of decisions and awards finding and directing inter alia that: a) the disparity in the wage rates of room attendants and housekeeping attendants did not violate the terms of the Industry Wide Agreement or the pertinent provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Equal Pay Act; b) the wage rates of room attendants and housekeeping attendants be equalized; and c) that hotel employers be granted the right to assign up to three (3) additional rooms per week to each room attendant on the same basis as extra rooms had been theretofore assigned but without the payment of additional compensation to the room attendants for said extra rooms.
The Association acknowledges that the Union has disputed, and is presently prosecuting a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District Court of New York against the Association and eleven Association member hotels contesting the appropriateness of said Impartial Chairman's decisions and seeking as remedies the nullification of the Impartial Chairman's decision as they relate to the employer's right to assign extra rooms without additional compensation; retroactive pay and appropriate other measures o relief.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the parties recognize the continuing right of hotel employers to assign extra rooms without additional compensation in accordance with the decisions of the Impartial Chairman.
