Collective bargaining
agreement—Industry wide—New York City.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the ASSOCIATION is an organization whose
active members are engaged in the hotel business in the City of New York and
one of whose objects is to promote fair and harmonious labor relations between
hotel keepers and their employees, and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are now under collective
bargaining agreement dated October 20, 1978, and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto, desiring to cooperate to
stabilize such labor relations by establishing general standards of wages,
hours of service and other conditions of employment, and providing arbitral
machinery whereby disputes and grievances between employers and employees may
be adjusted without resort to strikes, lockouts or other interferences with the
continued and smooth operation of the hotel business, have agreed to extend
said agreement until May 31, 1985 on the terms and conditions hereinafter
stated:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. (A)(1) The term HOTEL as used throughout this
Agreement shall include hotels, motels and allied facilities.
(2). The term CONCESSIONAIRE as used throughout this
Agreement shall include all restaurants, lessees, and contractors operating
within HOTELS who employ employees in job classifications covered by this
Agreement.
(3). The term EMPLOYER as used throughout this
Agreement shall, unless expressly distinguished elsewhere, include all HOTELS,
whether or not members of the ASSOCIATION, and all CONCESSIONAIRES operating
within HOTELS.
(B). That the UNION represents to the EMPLOYER that it
represents a majority of the employees covered by this Agreement in each
EMPLOYER'S hotel, motel and concessionaire.
(C). That the UNION represents to the ASSOCIATION that
it represents a majority of all the employees covered by this Agreement in the
hotels comprising the Active Members of the ASSOCIATION.
(D). That the UNION is duly empowered to enter into
this Agreement.
The ASSOCIATION and the EMPLOYER hereby recognize the
UNION as the sole collective bargaining agency for the employees covered by
this Agreement.
2. The UNION agrees that employees of the EMPLOYER
shall work for the EMPLOYER upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
EXCLUDED CATEGORIES
3. The
EMPLOYER and the UNION agree that all employees of an EMPLOYER'S hotel
(including bell captains, floor housekeepers and all white-collar
administrative employees included in Schedule A for whom the UNION has been
heretofore or shall be hereafter certified as the collective bargaining
representative) shall be covered by this Agreement except the following classes
of employees which shall be excluded from the provisions of this Agreement:
Executives, superintendents, department managers, assistant department
managers, supervisors, assistant supervisors with executive status having the
right to hire or fire or effectively to recommend hiring or firing, buyers,
assistant buyers, and confidential secretaries. Also excluded are house
officers, bell captains, floor housekeepers and all white-collar employees
included in Schedule A for whom the UNION has not been heretofore
or is not hereafter certified as the collective
bargaining representative. In hotels which have heretofore entered into
collective bargaining agreements covering any white-collar employees the
coverage and exclusion from coverage provided in such agreement shall continue
in effect.
UNION MEMBERSHIP
4.
(A). It shall be a condition of employment that all
employees of the EMPLOYER covered by this Agreement who are members of the
UNION in good standing on the date of this Agreement shall remain members in
good standing and those who are not members on the date of this Agreement
shall, on the 30th day following the date of this Agreement, become and
thereafter remain members in good standing in the UNION. It shall also be a
condition of employment that all employees covered by this Agreement and hired
on or after its date shall, on the 30th day following the beginning of such
employment, become and thereafter remain members in good standing. The UNION
agrees to permit all employees to become and remain members of the UNION upon
payment by them of initiation fees and periodic dues uniformly required as a
condition of membership.
(B). Upon notice in writing from the UNION to the
effect that an employee is not a member of the UNION in good standing, i.e. he
has failed to pay the initiation fees and dues to the UNION required herein,
the EMPLOYER shall, within five (5) days discontinue its employment of such
employee. The EMPLOYER and the UNION agree the foregoing discharge requirement
shall only be applicable to the failure to pay dues and initiation fees
uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership in the
Union and shall have no applicability to the failure of an employee to pay
authorized regular and/or special assessments which may from time to time be
levied by the Union in accordance with its Constitution and By-Laws.
(C). In the case of casual employees, the first date
of employment shall be the date a casual employee is employed by a signatory to
this Agreement and said employee shall, as a condition of employment by any
EMPLOYER signatory to this Agreement, on the thirtieth working day following
the beginning of such employment, become and thereafter remain a member in good
standing in the UNION. Until a casual employee becomes a member of the UNION,
there shall be deducted from the wages of each casual employee, who is not a
member of the UNION, a service fee of fifty cents (50¢) for each day of work.
The amount of service fee is subject to change at the discretion of the UNION
upon notice to the EMPLOYER pursuant to paragraph 26 hereof. Said service fee
shall be transmitted to the UNION in accordance with paragraph 27 hereof.
NEW EMPLOYEES
5. Except as provided in 9(B)(3) and Schedules B, C, D
and E, hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to new
employees unless they shall continue in the employ of the EMPLOYER for more
than thirty (30) days.
HOTEL CLASSIFICATIONS
6.
(A). For the purposes of this Agreement, the hotels in
the City of New York have been grouped as follows:
Transient—Semi-Transient—Residential
The EMPLOYER and the UNION agree that the grouping of
the EMPLOYER'S hotel is that set forth opposite its name.
MINIMUM WAGE
(B).
(1). Each EMPLOYER shall pay not less than the minimum
weekly wages for the total number of hours per week as set forth in the
attached schedule.
PART-TIME AND CASUAL EMPLOYEES
(2). Any EMPLOYER who shall change the hours of a
part-time worker to a full-time week shall pay to the employee commencing at
the time when his or her hours have been so increased not less than the
contractual wage rate for his or her classification (minimum wage plus wage
increases) at the time of the change as set forth in Schedule A, irrespective
of the hourly rate such employee previously received as a part-time employee,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
It is understood that where a hotel, for business
reasons, requires the temporary reduction in the work week of persons in any of
its departments, employees whose work week is so reduced shall not be
considered part-time employees during the period of such temporary reduction.
It is desirable that, before the temporary reduction in the work week takes
place, the Hotel should confer with the UNION. If the UNION claims that a
temporary reduction hereunder results in any abuse of the rights of employees,
the grievance shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration provisions of
Section 15 of this Agreement.
(3). Casual employees and part-time employees shall be
paid not less than 1 and ¼ times the hourly wage at which an employee is
required to be paid under Section 9(B) for the first twenty (20) hours of work
in categories where the regular work week in the industry is 40 hours and for
the first seventeen and one-half (171/2) hours of work in categories where the
regular work week in the industry is thirty-five (35) hours, and for the
remaining hours of work shall be paid not less than the hourly wage rate an
employee is required to be paid pursuant to Section 9(B).
EXTRA PAINTERS
(4). An extra painter is one whose employment
terminates at any time within eighteen weeks after the trial period. An extra
painter shall be paid not less than the rates established by Section 9(B) each
week and in addition, when his or her employment is terminated, shall be paid a
lump sum equal to $15.00 for each week of his or her employment. An extra
painter shall be paid for any of the holidays provided for in Section 16(B) of
the Agreement which may occur during his or her period of employment, and shall
receive pro-rated vacation pay.
A painter who is employed for a period of more than
eighteen weeks after the trial period shall not come within the provisions of
the preceding paragraph hereof and shall attain the status of a regular
permanent employee.
HOUSING—MEALS
7. In cases where the EMPLOYER furnishes housing
accommodations to its employees, it shall be allowed $2.50 per week for such
housing accommodations.
In cases where the EMPLOYER furnishes meals to its
employees, it shall be allowed $.25 per meal.
In cases where the EMPLOYER furnishes housing
accommodations and meals by the week, it shall be allowed $7.75 per week.
In the event any EMPLOYER who has heretofore furnished
meals or housing accommodations, or both, as part of compensation, shall desire
to discontinue the same, it may do so by substituting cash for meals or
lodging, as the case may be, at the scales above set forth, in lieu thereof.
If any EMPLOYER, who has not heretofore furnished
meals and housing accommodations, or either, as part of compensation, shall
desire to do so, and the EMPLOYER and the UNION cannot agree, the matter shall
be submitted to the Impartial Chairman for decision.
WORKING HOURS AND OVERTIME
8.
(A). The working hours per week on which the minimum
wage is predicated shall be forty (40) hours within five (5) days of the week
for captains, hosts and hostesses and all tip classifications covered by this
Agreement, and thirty-five (35) hours in five (5) days of the week for all
non-tip classifications covered by this Agreement.
(B). In the event any employee who normally works a
full work day is called in to work on any day, he or she shall be offered a
full day of work.
(C). The EMPLOYER shall be free to fix the daily
working hours in the hotel. The EMPLOYER agrees that it will inform employees
of their hours of work at least one week in advance. In the event of a change
in schedule of daily working hours, seniority will be observed insofar as
compatible with efficiency. Should the UNION claim that changes in the schedule
of hours result in any abuses of the rights of employees, the claim shall be
subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in Section 15
hereof.
(D). It is mutually agreed that the custom existing as
of the date of this Agreement among certain EMPLOYERS of maintaining long and
short watches and split shifts in certain categories of employees shall be
permitted to continue, but shall not be extended. Any changes in the existing
custom shall be made only by agreement between the UNION and the EMPLOYER. If
they shall fail to agree on a proposed change, the same shall be submitted to
the Impartial Chairman as any other dispute arising under this Agreement.
(E). Overtime at the rate of time and one-half shall
be paid for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day or forty (40)
hours per week in categories where the regular work week under this Agreement
is forty (40) hours per week and for all hours worked in excess of seven (7)
hours per day or thirty-five (35) hours per week in categories where the
regular work week under this Agreement is thirty-five (35) hours per week.
(F). It is agreed that employees will work a
reasonable amount of overtime and on the sixth day when requested to do so at
the rates of pay set forth in this Agreement provided, however, that there
shall be no scheduled overtime in any job classification if there are laid-off
employees in that job classification in the hotel and there shall be no scheduled
extra rooms for room attendants if there are room attendants laid off in the
hotel until available work in the job classification in the hotel has been
offered to employees laid off in that job classification, such offer to be made
by reasonably available means of communication.
(G). If the UNION feels that an industry-wide
condition of unemployment exists in any job classification covered by this
Agreement and that an excessive amount of overtime in such job classification
or, in the case of room attendants, an excessive amount of extra rooms has been
scheduled in any hotel, the UNION may raise the matter as a grievance under
Section 15 hereof and if the matter is not satisfactorily resolved, it shall be
subject to arbitration thereunder.
(H). Any employee who has heretofore been paid time
and one-half after a shorter work day or shorter work week than specified under
this Agreement shall continue to receive overtime pay after such shorter work
day or shorter work week as heretofore.
(I). All employees shall be entitled to one hour per
day for meals. Time out for meals shall not be considered working time.
(J). Waiters and waitresses shall complete service on
a guest notwithstanding the fact that the employee has reached his or her
quitting time, and the first 15 minutes of such additional time shall not be
deemed to be overtime.
(K). No employee shall receive overtime pay unless
such overtime work has been authorized previously by such employee's department
or division manager.
MINIMUM WAGES
9.
(A).
(1). In the case of an ASSOCIATION member hotel, the
minimum weekly wage scales set forth herein shall not be changed except by
agreement between the ASSOCIATION and the UNION. No employee shall suffer a
reduction in hourly wage rates or fringe benefits previously enjoyed on account
of the execution of this Agreement.
(2). In the case of all other EMPLOYERS, the minimum
weekly wage scales set forth in this Agreement shall not be changed except by
agreement between the EMPLOYER and the UNION. No employee shall suffer a
reduction in hourly wage rates or fringe benefits previously enjoyed on account
of the execution of this Agreement.
The minimum wages set forth in this Agreement, payable
by the EMPLOYER, are applicable to a forty hour week for captains, hosts/hostesses
and all tip classifications and to a thirty-five hour week for all other
classifications.
When a full-time employee works less than his or her
regular work week the wage shall be pro-rated on an hourly basis for the number
of hours or fractions thereof actually worked. However, when a full-time
employee is changed to a part-time basis, such employee shall receive his or
her wages in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 6.

the date of the signing of this Agreement shall receive wage increases as set
forth in Schedule 1 attached.

registration form at the central registration office. Each registration form
shall contain, among other things, the following information: name, address,
age, sex, marital status, occupation, personal references, special
qualifications, employment history including the names of hotel employers and
periods of employment in the hotel industry, and other such information as may
be required. A copy of all registration forms and a master list of all
registered applicants shall be maintained at the UNION branch and at the
ASSOCIATION branch or the joint employment office.
Each EMPLOYER party to this Agreement desiring to
employ a new employee in any job category covered by this Agreement in its
hotel, must apply for such employee to either the UNION branch or the
ASSOCIATION branch of the joint employment office. The branch applied to shall
select from the file of registered applicants, one or more applicants for the
job opening. Preference in referring applicants and in employment shall be
given to persons who have been previously employed in the hotel industry in New
York City, and among such persons first preference shall be given to employees
whose employment was terminated by reason of the closing of hotels covered by
this Agreement.
Unless an applicant satisfactory to the EMPLOYER shall
be referred by 4:00 P.M. of the second business day following the day when the
request was made, the EMPLOYER shall be free to fill in the vacancy from any
source. An EMPLOYER application for an employee filed after 2:00 P.M., shall be
considered as placed on the next business day. The foregoing time limitation
shall not apply to emergency extras required by the EMPLOYER. In the case of an
emergency extra, unless an applicant satisfactory to the EMPLOYER shall be
referred within one (1) hour after the request is made, the EMPLOYER shall be
free to hire such emergency extra from any source.
The expenses of the ASSOCIATION branch shall be borne
by the ASSOCIATION. The expenses of the UNION branch shall be borne by the
UNION. The expenses of the central registration office shall be borne equally
by the UNION and the ASSOCIATION.
The records of both branches and of the central
registration office shall at all times be open to the inspection of both the
UNION and the ASSOCIATION, and there shall be a daily interchange of
information regarding persons dispatched to jobs and any and all pertinent
data.
No charge or fee whatsoever shall be requested of or
charged to any registrant, job applicant or hotel.
The service of the joint employment office shall be
available to all members of the ASSOCIATION, whether or not they are under
contract with the UNION.
It is recognized that an EMPLOYER may fill a vacancy
from among its employees, including employees in other hotels of the EMPLOYER'S
chain.
There is hereby created a Joint Advisory Committee,
consisting of three (3) members appointed by the ASSOCIATION and three (3)
members appointed by the UNION. It shall be the responsibility of the
Committee, from time to time, to promulgate rules and regulations not
inconsistent with the procedure herein set forth to govern the management of
the joint employment office.
Any question or dispute concerning the operation of
the joint employment office shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration
procedure set forth in Section 15 hereof.
The UNION and the ASSOCIATION acknowledge that they
have not established the Central Registration Office nor the branch offices for
the dispatching of job applicants, as provided in this section, but have been
using the services of the New York State Employment Service.
If at any time during the life of this Agreement
either the ASSOCIATION or the UNION requests full compliance with the
provisions of this Section 14(B), such full compliance shall be effectuated by
all parties.
(B).
(1). The EMPLOYER shall have the right to direct and
control its employees. The EMPLOYER shall have the right to lay off, promote,
or transfer any employee. Promotions shall not be subject to contest or review.
The UNION shall, by representatives designated by it, have the right to confer
with the EMPLOYER in behalf of any laid-off or transferred employee. If the
UNION claims that a layoff or transfer results in any abuse of the rights of
employees the grievance shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration
provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement.
(2). In the event of a layoff in any department,
departmental seniority will be observed insofar as compatible with efficiency.
In general, the last person hired in a job classification within a department
will be the first laid off in such classification and the employee with the
greatest seniority in the job classification in the department will be the last
laid off in such job classification. The EMPLOYER shall give the UNION not less
than one week's notice of layoff of any employee. Casual employees do not have
seniority rights.
The EMPLOYER shall keep a list of names of all
employees laid off during the period of this Agreement and shall furnish the
UNION with a copy thereof; and in the event of rehiring, it shall give
preference to the persons on said list in order of seniority, provided that it
shall not be required to rehire any person from said list unless such person,
before being laid off, performed identical tasks in the same department from
which he or she was laid off.
(3). The EMPLOYER shall have the right to discharge
any employee. The UNION may question whether an employee's discharge was for
just cause. In that event, the UNION shall submit the matter to the Labor Manager
within ten (10) days after the discharge and should the matter not be adjusted
by the Labor Manager under the procedure set forth in Paragraph 15 hereof, the
UNION may submit the matter to the Impartial Chairman within ten (10) days
after the conference before the Labor Manager for decision as any other dispute
under this Agreement. The Impartial Chairman may uphold the discharge or
reinstate the employee with or without back pay.
(4).
(a). In the
case of ASSOCIATION member EMPLOYERS: if a hotel intends to lay off or
discharge a delegate or assistant delegate the hotel shall, prior to
effectuating such layoff or discharge, consult with an
officer or business agent of the UNION. If, after
twenty-four (24) hours, the parties are unable to resolve the problem, the
hotel shall consult the office of the ASSOCIATION and an immediate conference
with the UNION will be arranged at the office of the ASSOCIATION to discuss the
matter. Pending the result of the conference at the office of the ASSOCIATION,
the delegate or assistant delegate shall remain on the job unless the
ASSOCIATION member EMPLOYER is otherwise advised. The conference held at the
ASSOCIATION will constitute the conference provided for in this section. In
accordance with existing practices, accredited UNION delegates shall have top
seniority in their job classifications. The UNION will furnish a written list
of delegates to each hotel within thirty (30) days after the signing of the
Agreement and will notify the hotel in writing of any change in the list of
delegates within ten (10) days of the making of such change.
(b). In the case of all other EMPLOYERS: if an
EMPLOYER intends to lay off or discharge a delegate or assistant delegate the
EMPLOYER shall, prior to effectuating such layoff or discharge, consult with an
officer or business agent of the UNION. If, after twenty-four (24) hours, the
parties are unable to resolve the problem, the EMPLOYER shall immediately
notify the office of the Impartial Chairman and request a hearing. Pending the
hearing before the Impartial Chairman, the delegate or assistant delegate shall
remain on the job. In accordance with existing practices, accredited UNION
delegates shall have top seniority in their job classifications. The UNION will
furnish a written list of delegates to each EMPLOYER within thirty (30) days
after the signing of the Agreement and will notify the EMPLOYER in writing of
any change in the list of delegates within ten (10) days of the making of such
change.
(C). An employee absent from work because of sickness
or injury for not more than 26 weeks shall be reinstated to his/her former job
with all job rights and seniority, provided the employee is in good health and
is physically capable of performing the duties of the job. The employee shall
give the EMPLOYER one (1) week's notice of intention to return to work.
An employee absent from work because of sickness or
injury for more than 26 weeks but not more than 52 weeks shall be placed upon a
rehiring list and shall be offered the first available job opening in his/her
job classification, provided that at the time the job opening becomes available
the employee is in good health and is physically capable of performing the
duties of the job. Upon rehiring the employee shall be restored to all his/her
job rights and seniority.
In either case the EMPLOYER may require satisfactory
proof of sickness or injury and recovery. If the employee presents a statement
by the Health Center that the employee is able to return to work and if the
EMPLOYER challenges said certification, the dispute may be submitted to an
impartial physician designated by the EMPLOYER and the UNION, or if they are
unable to agree, designated by the Impartial Chairman, and the UNION and
EMPLOYER agree to be bound by the decision of said physician.
UNION ACTIVITY
(D). No employee shall be discharged or laid off
because of UNION activities. In the event of a claim being made that an
employee has been discharged or laid off because of UNION activities, such
claim must be filed with the Labor Manager within one (1) week and disposed of
by him within three (3) days thereafter. If the controversy cannot be
satisfactorily adjusted between the UNION and the Labor Manager, the same shall
be promptly referred to the Impartial Chairman, who shall render his decision
within a reasonable time after receiving the claim.
In cases involving non-ASSOCIATION EMPLOYERS, all such
claims which cannot be satisfactorily adjusted between the EMPLOYER and an
officer or business agent of the UNION, shall be promptly referred to the
Impartial Chairman for adjustment.
NO DISCRIMINATION
(E). The opportunity to give and obtain employment
without discrimination because of race, color, creed, sex, age or national
origin is hereby recognized by the parties to this Agreement.
TRAINING PROGRAM
(F). The ASSOCIATION and the UNION have established a
program to train employees for promotion and advancement. Said program is known
as and operated by the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council and Hotel
Association Industry Training Fund established by an Agreement and Declaration
of Trust which provides, among other things, for equal representation upon the
Board of Trustees of the Trust Fund of ASSOCIATION and UNION representatives.
The Impartial Chairman designated under this Agreement shall act as Impartial
Chairman of said Trust Fund.
The EMPLOYER shall continue to contribute to the Hotel
Industry Training Fund the sum of $1.50 per month for each employee on the
EMPLOYER'S payroll on the 15th day of each month, which money shall be utilized
by the Fund to carry out the training program.
No new training programs, other than those organized
by the Trustees of the Fund, shall be instituted.
Should government or other funds be appropriated on
behalf of the training program hereunder, the EMPLOYER'S contribution shall be
reduced accordingly.
COMPLAINTS, GRIEVANCES AND ARBITRATION
15. All complaints, disputes or grievances arising
between the parties hereto involving questions of interpretation or application
of any clause of this Agreement, or any acts, conduct or relations between the
parties, directly or indirectly, which shall not have been adjusted by and
between the parties involved shall be referred to a permanent umpire to be
known as the Impartial Chairman, and his decision shall be final and binding
upon the parties hereto. Any such complaint, dispute or grievance involving an
EMPLOYER member of the ASSOCIATION shall in the first instance, be submitted to
the Labor Manager who will be appointed and employed by the ASSOCIATION to
consider and adjust with a duly accredited representative of the UNION, for
their joint consideration and adjustment; if they agree, such decision shall be
binding on the parties hereto. Should the matter not be resolved by the Labor
Manager and the representative of the UNION, it shall then be referred to the
Impartial Chairman as aforesaid.
In the event of a willful default by either party in
appearing before the Impartial Chairman, after due written notice shall have
been given to the said party, the Impartial Chairman is hereby authorized to
render a decision upon the testimony of the party appearing.
Non-ASSOCIATION member hotel and concessionaire
EMPLOYER complaints, disputes, or grievances complaints are to be taken
directly to the Impartial Chairman.
If any EMPLOYER experiences an unanticipated emergency
which justifies relief from the provisions of Section 24(B), the matter—if
unresolved between the EMPLOYER and the UNION—may be submitted to the Impartial
Chairman who may grant such relief as he deems proper. If relief is granted,
the Impartial Chairman may make such provisions for the employees involved as
he deems appropriate. The Impartial Chairman may not grant relief predicated
solely upon economic factors.
The parties consent that any papers, notices or
process, including subpoenas, necessary or appropriate to initiate or continue
an arbitration hereunder or to enforce or confirm an award, may be served by
ordinary mail directed to the last known address of the parties or their attorneys,
or when authorized by the Impartial Chairman, by telegram or telephone.
The parties consent that all arbitration hearings
shall be heard at the office of the Impartial Chairman located at 250 West 57th
Street in the City of New York, or at such other place as the Impartial
Chairman may designate.
The Impartial Chairman may call such arbitration
hearing on giving five (5) days' notice to all of the interested parties. The
Impartial Chairman, however, may call a hearing on shorter notice if he deems
it appropriate.
The parties hereby expressly agree that the oath of
the arbitrator is waived and consent that the Impartial Chairman may proceed
with the hearing on this submission.
The parties hereto expressly waive the requirements
regarding the Arbitrator's oath and the manner and time for the service of
notice of hearing contained in the Civil Practice Law and Rules of the State of
New York.
The compensation of the Impartial Chairman and his
proper and necessary expenses shall be shared and paid equally by the
ASSOCIATION and the UNION.
Should the Impartial Chairman resign, refuse to act,
or be incapable of acting, or should the office become vacant for any reason,
the ASSOCIATION and the UNION shall immediately and within five (5) days after
the occurrence of such vacancy, designate another person to act as such
Impartial Chairman. If they fail to agree, the Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals of the State of New York shall, upon application of either party, on
due notice to the other, summarily make such appointment.
The decision rendered by the Impartial Chairman shall
have the effect of a judgment entered upon an award made, as provided by the
Arbitration Laws of the State of New York, entitling the entry of a judgment in
a court of competent jurisdiction against the defaulting party who fails to
carry out or abide by such decision.

complaint, grievance or dispute brought by the UNION in behalf of its member or
members employed in the hotel, or (2) refuse to abide by any decision made by
the Impartial Chairman named in this Agreement.

Schedule 1 attached which are effective January 1, 1981, June 1, 1981, June 1,
1982 or June 1, 1983 as the case may be for the respective job classifications
(but such increase shall not be retroactive), in order to obtain the benefits
and privileges of this Agreement, for such collective bargaining unit.
MODIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
20. No EMPLOYER and no worker or group of workers
shall have the right to modify or waive any provision of this Agreement.
VISITATION CLAUSE
21. Authorized representatives of the UNION shall have
admission to the establishments of the EMPLOYERS but such representatives shall
make arrangements with the management as to time of making such visits.
It is further agreed that conferences held between
UNION representatives and the employees shall not be held during the employees'
working time; and if held on the premises, said conference must be within a
place arranged for with the management.
NOTICES
22. The EMPLOYER shall permit the UNION to post
announcements of meetings and functions on bulletin boards to be provided by
the EMPLOYER and placed in convenient positions in the hotel to be designated
and provided by the EMPLOYER.
WAGE OR HOUR MODIFICATION
23.
(A). The standards of wages or hours, or both, as herein
prescribed, shall not be changed during the term of this Agreement; provided,
however, that on or about March 1, 1984 either the ASSOCIATION or the UNION may
give notice that it desires a change in wages or hours, or both, if either the
ASSOCIATION or the UNION shall be convinced that such change is warranted, and
call for a conference thereon. If any change shall be agreed upon, it shall
become effective as of the 1st day of June, 1984. If, after a change in wages
or hours, or both, has been requested, and a thorough canvass of the situation
has been made, an agreement with respect thereto has not been reached on the
15th day of May, 1984, the matter shall be submitted to a commission composed
of the Impartial Chairman and a representative of the ASSOCIATION, and a
representative of the UNION, and the decision of any two members of such
commission shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto including
EMPLOYERS who are not members of the ASSOCIATION. Any change in wages or hours
awarded or determined by said commission as aforesaid shall be effective as of
June 1, 1984. The minimum wage scale as provided in this Agreement, shall,
however, not be changed during the term of this Agreement, any seeming
provision to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in the following
paragraphs.
Should the UNION and the ASSOCIATION agree upon the
terms of a new and extended Industry-wide Collective Bargaining Agreement to be
effective June 1, 1984, the UNION shall have the right to convene a
three-member commission to set the wages and hours effective June 1, 1984 of
the employees of any EMPLOYER who does not agree to execute and be bound by the
new Industry-wide Collective Bargaining Agreement. In such event, the
three-member commission shall be established and convened as set forth above
and it shall render a decision as to the wages and hours to be paid to said
EMPLOYER'S employees effective as of June 1, 1984, provided, however, that in
the case of an EMPLOYER who is not a member of the ASSOCIATION, one member of
the three-member commission may be designated by the EMPLOYER in lieu of the
ASSOCIATION'S designee. Should the EMPLOYER fail to designate a representative
on the three-member commission within ten (10) days after notice from the UNION
to the Impartial Chairman of its desire to convene a three-member commission to
establish wages and hours for the EMPLOYER'S employees, the ASSOCIATION'S
designee shall serve as the EMPLOYER'S designee. The decision of such a
three-member commission shall be final and binding and any changes in wages
and/or hours awarded or determined by said commission shall be effective as of
June 1, 1984.
(B).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement seemingly to the
contrary, the parties agree that in the event the aggregate increases paid by
the EMPLOYER for the period ending June 1, 1983 is exceeded by the cost of
living (based on New York City Consumer Price Index) for the period ending June
1, 1983, the UNION shall have the right to request that a joint study committee
be formed to examine and discuss the impact
of said increase on the employees and the need, if
any, for a wage review. In the event the parties fail to agree on what action
to take, either party may submit the matter to the Impartial Chairman who shall
be empowered to make a final decision with regard to said matter.
AREA STANDARDS AND WORK PRESERVATION
24.
(A). Any contract, lease or agreement entered into
after July 10, 1957 between a hotel and a concessionaire who employs employees
in job classifications covered by this Agreement must contain a provision that
the concessionaire agrees that the persons employed in the job classifications
covered by this Agreement will work in accordance with the schedule of hours
and will receive not less than the wages and economic benefits provided in this
Agreement including holidays, vacations, premiums, overtime, health and
welfare, dental, pension and training and/or any other economic benefits
required by this Agreement or their equivalent and that said concessionaire or
lessee further agrees to submit any question concerning compliance with the
foregoing to the Impartial Chairman designated under Section 15 herein for
determination. Any party affected may institute such arbitration.
(B). All work performed on the EMPLOYER'S premises and
all products produced on the EMPLOYER'S premises by employees covered by this
Agreement as of the effective date of this Agreement shall not be performed or
produced by persons not covered by this Agreement, provided that an EMPLOYER or
a group of EMPLOYERS may arrange to have products and/or work presently
produced and performed on its premises to be performed by persons employed in
job classifications covered by this Agreement provided that such persons work
in accordance with the schedule of hours and will receive not less than the
wages and economic benefits provided in this Agreement including holidays,
vacations, premiums, overtime, health and welfare, dental, pension and training
and/or any other economic benefits required by this Agreement or their
equivalent and further provided that the employment of those employed by the
EMPLOYER or EMPLOYERS at the time of the arrangement shall not be adversely
affected thereby.
FURNISHING SECURITY
(C). In order to insure the faithful performance of
the obligations contained in this Agreement any concessionaire who shall attain
such status on or after August 25, 1955, shall be required to furnish security
in the form of cash or bond in the amount of three months' wages prior to
entering into its operation, or at any time thereafter, upon demand by the
UNION or hotel. Failure to demand security shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of a concessionaire's obligations hereunder.
The cash or bond shall be deposited with the Impartial
Chairman. In the event the Impartial Chairman finds that a default has occurred
in the payment of cash wages, vacation or holiday payments, insurance fund
contributions, pension fund contributions, medical fund contributions, training
fund contributions, dental fund contributions, severance pay, or union dues, he
shall order said payments to be made from the cash or bond on deposit with him
and shall further order that the cash or bond be restored to its original
amount.
In the event a concessionaire who is required to post
cash or bond hereunder fails to do so, the hotel shall be responsible for any
defaults.
At the termination of any contract, concession or
lease the Impartial Chairman shall return the cash or bond, upon being
satisfied that there are no unpaid cash wages, vacation or holiday payments,
insurance or pension fund contribution, medical fund contribution, training
fund contribution, dental fund contribution, severance pay and/or union dues.
The form of the bond to be posted shall be subject to
the approval of the ASSOCIATION and the UNION, or, in the case of a
non-ASSOCIATION hotel, the hotel and the UNION, and if they fail to agree, the
form of the bond shall be determined by the Impartial Chairman.
BANQUET DEPARTMENT
25. The EMPLOYER shall furnish the UNION with a list
of banquet waiters and banquet waitresses now employed by, or on the EMPLOYER'S
list for such employment; such waiters and waitresses as are not members of the
UNION at the time of the execution of this Agreement by the EMPLOYER shall
become members of the UNION within thirty (30) days from the execution of this
Agreement by the EMPLOYER, and the UNION shall accept such banquet waiters and
banquet waitresses as members upon the same terms and conditions as other
members. Banquet waiters and waitresses other than those now employed or on the
EMPLOYER'S steady list, shall be procured from the UNION to the extent that the
UNION is able to furnish same. If the UNION is unable to supply waiters and
waitresses satisfactory to the EMPLOYER, the EMPLOYER shall have the right to
employ the additional number required from any available source.
The UNION agrees that all individuals who register
with it as applicants for jobs as banquet waiters and waitresses shall be referred
to jobs on a non-discriminatory basis and selection of applicants shall not be
based on, or in any way affected by, UNION membership, the UNION'S by-laws,
rules or regulations, constitutional provisions, or any other aspect or
obligation of UNION membership, policies or requirements.
Notice of the provisions of this Section and the
functioning of job referrals and hiring arrangements shall be posted on
bulletin boards in hotels and in the UNION where applicants for employment
apply for jobs.
The classification of meals, hours, wages and working
conditions of banquet waiters and banquet waitresses and banquet captains are
contained in Schedule A-1 annexed hereto and made a part of this Agreement.
UNION DUES
26. UNION dues, assessments, initiation and service
fees, and defense fund dues/assessments, during the term of this Agreement,
shall not exceed the sums set forth in the memorandum to be furnished by the
UNION to the ASSOCIATION at the time of the execution of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of UNION dues, assessments,
initiation and service fees, and defense fund dues/assessments is subject to
change at the prerogative of the UNION. The UNION agrees to give the EMPLOYER
thirty (30) days' written notice prior to the effective date of any such
change.
27. The UNION agrees to furnish the EMPLOYER with a
memorandum showing the amount of dues and initiation fees payable as members of
the UNION and service fees payable as non-members of the UNION by each of the
employees of the EMPLOYER covered by this Agreement. Upon receipt of written
authorization the EMPLOYER agrees to deduct such dues, initiation fees and
service fees from the wages or salaries of the respective employees monthly
(initiation fees are to be deducted in two (2) monthly installments) and the
EMPLOYER agrees, upon such deduction, to transmit such sums collected by the
EMPLOYER to the UNION in the month of collection. The EMPLOYER will retain in
its file the dues authorization card of each employee from whom it makes such
deductions. The EMPLOYER agrees to furnish to the UNION a list of the employees
in its hotel covered by the Agreement and will from time to time furnish to the
UNION the names of all such new employees who are to be covered by this
Agreement, and also will notify the UNION of employees who have left the employ
of the EMPLOYER. The EMPLOYER agrees that the UNION may examine the EMPLOYER'S
payroll records for the purpose of checking compliance with this provision.
RELIEF APPEALS
28. Whenever, upon a written application of an
EMPLOYER, it shall appear to the Impartial Chairman that the factual situation
with respect to a particular EMPLOYER is such that the wage and hour scales
provided in this Agreement will work unusual hardship on such EMPLOYER, and
affect adversely the interest of the workers therein, such wage and hour scales
may be modified, in such EMPLOYER, to the extent approved by the Impartial
Chairman.
An EMPLOYER that intends to make such application in
connection with the wage increases under the Collective Bargaining Agreement
shall make such application within sixty (60) days after March 17, 1981. If
application for relief is not made within sixty (60) days after March 17, 1981,
the increases shall be put into effect, provided, however, that this shall not
preclude an EMPLOYER from making application for relief thereafter.
UNIFORMS, ETC.
29. The EMPLOYER agrees that whenever it requires
employees to wear special uniforms, such uniforms shall be supplied and shall
be laundered at the expense of the EMPLOYER. "McAlpin jackets" shall
not be deemed to be special uniforms. The EMPLOYER agrees to supply cooks'
uniforms. A cook's uniform is defined as jacket, cap, apron, kerchief and
pants.
The EMPLOYER agrees to provide adequate locker space
for employees customarily provided with locker space. The EMPLOYER shall
provide sanitary places for eating and changing clothes and washroom
facilities.
TOURS
30.
(A). In the case of all tour parties, adult as well as
youth, bellpersons shall receive an additional 15¢ effective September 1, 1981
so that they shall receive not less than 95¢ per person or per bag (as the case
may be) on checking in and checking out. Effective June 1, 1982, bellmen shall
receive an additional 15¢ per bag in and out, so that as of June 1, 1982,
bellpersons shall receive not less than $1.10 per bag in and $1.10 per bag out.
Effective June 1, 1983, bellpersons shall receive an additional 15¢ per bag in
and out, so that as of June 1, 1983, bellpersons shall receive not less than $1.25
per bag in and per bag out.
(B). Bellpersons shall receive 50¢ for each person
coming into a hotel to occupy a room which is one of a block of rooms rented or
set aside on a permanent basis to an airline or trucking company. Bellpersons
shall receive, in addition, 50¢ for each such person on leaving the hotel.
(C).
(1). Effective September 1, 1981, when a tour group
having reservations at an EMPLOYER arrives and/or departs from a hotel in
motorized buses, doorpersons will be paid a gratuity equal to 47.5¢ for the
arrival and 47.5¢ for the departure per person in the tour. Effective June 1,
1982, this amount shall be increased to 55¢ for arrival and 55¢ for departure
per person. Effective June 1, 1983, this amount shall be increased to 62.5¢ for
arrival and 62.5¢ for departure per person.
(2). This gratuity will apply to tour groups arriving
only by bus and will be applicable to initial arrival and final departure.
(3). Buses are as we commonly know them and this
gratuity arrangement does not apply to stretch-out wagons, such as used to
transfer airline crews, and other such vehicles.
(4). Doorpersons will assist in the handling of the
baggage and those hotels not employing doorpersons will not be subject to this
gratuity payment.
(D). Effective January 1, 1982, all hotels who are
currently paying the aforesaid gratuities on a per person basis shall convert
such payments to a per bag basis, provided, however that no gratuity will be paid
on any bags in excess of two (2) for any one guest.
(E). Any hotel that has been 1) paying rates or 2)
under conditions more favorable than those set forth in paragraphs (A) and (C)
above shall, in addition to the increases set forth above, maintain the
differential between the rate set forth in the "Agreement" and the
rate it is paying, and maintain the conditions presently in effect.
(F). In the case of all tour parties, where meals are
included, adult as well as youth, waiters and waitresses shall receive 25¢ per
meal per person or 15% of the price of the meal, whichever is greater.
(G). Where the rooming arrangements for professional
athletic teams do not permit bellpersons to earn tips, such rooming shall be
considered a tour, except that where other tip arrangements have been in effect
they shall continue.
(H). The parties agree to submit the following matter
to a committee consisting of a representative of the UNION and a representative
of the ASSOCIATION:
Notwithstanding Paragraph 30(C)(3) above, whether or
not doorpersons shall receive the tip referred to in Paragraph 30(C)(1), in the
case of stretch-out wagons used for tours.
In the event the parties are unable to agree on any of
the above, either party may submit same to the Impartial Chairman for decision.
NIGHT SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL
31.
(A). Night shift differential shall apply to all
employees covered by this Agreement except those listed in Schedule A-1.
(B). The night shift differential shall be paid for
all hours worked after 8:00 P.M. in the evening and before 6:00 A.M. the next
morning. Each employee employed during the hours stated above, shall receive in
addition to his or her regular wages, 30¢ per hour for each hour worked during
said period. Effective June 1, 1981 said sum shall be increased to 40¢ per
hour.
(C). The wage rate on the basis of which overtime
compensation is to be calculated shall not include the night shift
differential. Although the night shift differential shall not be added to the
regular rate for the purpose of calculating overtime compensation, the amount
of the agreed upon night shift differential shall be paid for each hour of work
of an employee during the night hours to which such night shift differential
payment is applicable.
(D). Vacation, sick days, personal days, and holiday
pay shall include the night shift differential, provided, however, that this
applies only to regular and full-time employees who are regularly scheduled for
work during the hours for which the night shift differential is paid.
SEVERANCE PAY
32.
(A). In the event of termination resulting from the
closing of a hotel or a restaurant therein or a department thereof, or from (1)
the conversion of the elevators to self service elevators or (2) the conversion
of telephone department equipment or (3) the conversion of hotels to
cooperatives, severance pay shall be paid as a result of any of the foregoing.
(B). For the
purpose of calculating severance pay, the EMPLOYER shall pay over to the UNION
for distribution by the UNION to the employees affected an amount equal to four
days of regular wages for each year of service for each employee affected
provided the employee had no less than six months' service. Tip employees shall
receive double the amount of severance pay calculated in accordance with the
above formula. Unless otherwise proven, all employees laid off within one year
of a permanent closing shall be presumed to have been terminated as a result of
the closing and shall be eligible for severance pay. In connection with the
foregoing, the EMPLOYER shall issue, and send to the UNION for distribution,
checks made payable to the individual employees entitled to severance pay in
accordance with the foregoing formula. The EMPLOYER
agrees to make all statutory tax withholdings prior to
transmittal of the checks to the UNION for distribution. In addition, a further
payment equal to 25% of such amount shall be paid to be allocated to the New
York Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City Insurance
Fund, Union Family Medical Fund of the Hotel Industry of New York City and New
York Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension
Fund in such proportions as the ASSOCIATION and the UNION shall agree. Payment
shall be computed to the nearest quarter year.
(C).
(1). The UNION has long cooperated with EMPLOYERS in
the introduction of new equipment, changes in operating techniques and
technological improvements (all three herein referred to as
"modifications") in the various departments of the hotels.
Accordingly, in the event the EMPLOYER intends to introduce modifications in
its hotel, it shall meet with the UNION at least 30 days in advance of its
intention to implement same, to discuss the ramifications.
(2). If the parties agree to said modifications and,
as a result, job terminations or job changes will occur, the parties shall
discuss the appropriate adjustments to be made including a revised pay scale
for employees who continue working and severance pay for employees who are
terminated. If severance pay is required, the formula set forth in paragraph
32(B) shall be applied.
(3). It is agreed that the introduction of certain
modifications will not, in and of itself, require any of the remedies set forth
above. By way of 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 an adjustment in the wage scale.
(4). If the parties fail to agree on the EMPLOYER'S
program after meeting to discuss same as provided in paragraph (1) above the
UNION shall have the right to call for a conference at the ASSOCIATION to
discuss the matter. If as a result of the conference there is a dispute
concerning the proposed modification(s) the matter shall be submitted to the
Impartial Chairman for his decision. Pending the conference, or if the matter
is submitted to the Impartial Chairman, pending his decision, neither party
shall make any changes in its method of operation or service.
SICK LEAVE
33.
(A). All employees covered by this agreement who have
been continuously employed by the EMPLOYER for a period of at least one (1)
year shall be entitled to five (5) days sick leave with pay for each calendar
year. Effective with the second payroll week of December 1981, and for each succeeding
year thereafter, each eligible employee who has not used all his/her sick leave
shall receive one day's pay for each unused sick day.
(B).
(1). Employees with less than one (1) year's
employment by the EMPLOYER shall not be eligible for sick leave with pay. Sick
leave pay shall be prorated in accordance with the number of months worked for
all employees who will be employed during the year that are eligible to receive
vacation pay for less than a full 12 months.
(2). Sick leave benefits shall not accumulate from one
year to the next.
(3). Payment of sick leave is intended solely to
provide compensation to employees who are absent from work because of illness
or injury. An employee who abuses sick leave benefits shall be subject to
disciplinary action.
The UNION agrees to cooperate in preventing and
correcting abuses of these sick leave benefits.
(4). Sick leave pay shall not be paid on the
employee's scheduled day off, holidays, vacations, or any other day on which
the employee is drawing pay for time not worked, or would not have otherwise
worked.
(5). An employee absent from work due to illness on a
scheduled workday immediately before and/or on the scheduled workday
immediately after a holiday or vacation period shall not be eligible for sick
pay for said absent workday or workdays.
(C). Sick leave pay shall be calculated in the same
manner as holiday pay.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
34.
(A). An employee who has been employed by an EMPLOYER
for five years or more shall be entitled to one leave of absence without pay
not to exceed sixty (60) days upon giving two weeks written notice of request
for leave of absence to the EMPLOYER and the UNION. The EMPLOYER shall not be
required to allow more than one employee in a job classification to be on leave
of absence at the same time. If more than one employee in a job classification
requests a leave of absence at the same time preference shall be given to the
employee with greater seniority.
(B). The EMPLOYER may for good cause defer the time of
the commencement of the requested leave of absence.
(C). An employee on leave of absence hereunder shall
not take other employment during such leave without the prior written consent
of the EMPLOYER.
(D). Leaves of absence under this provision shall not
affect seniority rights but the EMPLOYER shall not be obliged to pay the
employee on leave of absence for any holidays which fall during the period of
such leave.
STUDY COMMITTEE
35. 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 Wage Equalization
C Industry Training Fund
D Delayed or Cancelled Flights
E Job Posting and Bidding
F Grievance Procedures
G Major Structural Alterations
H Banquet Employees
I Operating Distinctions Between Hotels
J Productivity
Annexed hereto and made a part hereof are directions
pursuant to which each of the various study committees shall conduct its
investigation and present its report and recommendations to the parties.
In the event that any of the foregoing study
committees are unable to reach agreement, within 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 UNION has insisted that the wages of room
attendants and housekeeping attendants be equalized and accordingly, the
parties agree to forthwith convene a joint committee to study the equalization
of pay of room attendants and housekeeping attendants and shall present its
report and recommendations to the parties.
Any program adopted as a result of the aforesaid
report shall be incorporated herein as an amendment to this Agreement effective
the date agreed upon by the parties.
(C). 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.
(D). 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.
(E). 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
preference over new hires for full time jobs within the classification in which
they are employed, and the right of the UNION to 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.
(F). In order to determine whether the grievance
machinery can be improved, the parties agree to forthwith commence a study of
all steps of the grievance procedure, including the initiation of grievances at
the hotel level, the filing of said unresolved matters with the HOTEL
ASSOCIATION and the docketing of same, as needed, with the Impartial Chairman.
The items for consideration by the parties include,
but are not limited to, those involving notice, timeliness of filing and
rendering of recommendations or decisions as the case may be.
(G). The parties hereto agree to convene a joint study
committee to study and report on a revision of Section 10 concerning Major
Structural Alterations.
(H). The parties hereto agree to convene a joint study
committee to review adjustment in the amount of compensation for banquet
employees including vacation pay as set forth in Section 19 of Schedule A(1)
and revision of certain work rules in Schedule A(1).
(I). 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
theatres 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
Council. 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.
(J). 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.
EXPIRATIONS AND RENEWALS
36.
(A). This Agreement shall be effective as of June 1,
1981 except as otherwise specified, and shall continue for a period ending the
31st day of May, 1985. The parties agree that negotiations for a renewal of
this Agreement shall begin on the first day of March, 1984.
This Agreement may be executed by hotel and
concessionaire EMPLOYERS on separate copies hereof, and all copies hereof,
although separately signed, shall be deemed and taken together as constituting
one agreement.
(B). It is agreed that the execution of the within
contract by the ASSOCIATION and the UNION shall be deemed to immediately
supersede, cancel and annul the October 20, 1978 Agreement which, by its terms,
was to expire May 31, 1982, save and except for the provisions as set forth in
the Supplemental Agreements marked Schedules B, C and D annexed thereto, which,
as modified, are merged in the Supplemental Agreements marked Schedule B, C and
D annexed hereto. It is further agreed that each Agreement made between the
UNION and the members of the ASSOCIATION who become parties to the October 20,
1978 Agreement shall likewise be immediately superseded, cancelled and annulled
as to those members who become parties to this Agreement by agreeing to the
same.
(C). In the case of all other EMPLOYERS, it is agreed
that the execution of the within contract by the EMPLOYER and the UNION shall
be deemed to immediately supersede, cancel and annul the October 20, 1978
Agreement which, by its terms, was to expire May 31, 1982, save and except for
the provisions as set forth in the Supplemental Agreements marked Schedule B, C
and D annexed thereto, which, as modified, are merged in the Supplemental
Agreements marked Schedule B, C and D annexed hereto. It is further agreed that
each Agreement made between the UNION and the members of the EMPLOYER who
become parties to the October 20, 1978 Agreement shall likewise be immediately
superseded, cancelled and annulled as to those members who become parties to
this Agreement by agreeing to the same.
It is further agreed that with respect to any EMPLOYER
that has an agreement with the UNION which by its terms will not expire until
May 31, 1982 and who shall fail or refuse to join in the execution of the
within Agreement, the old Agreement is to continue in full force and effect
until the expiration date thereof, namely May 31, 1982, as though this
Agreement had not been made.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT dated 17th day of March, 1981
between the HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., hereinafter called the
ASSOCIATION, and the operators of hotels who are Active Members of the
ASSOCIATION, and with respect to whom the UNION (as hereinafter designated) has
been designated as sole collective bargaining agent for the employees in the
hotels and concessionaires covered by this Agreement, and who shall become
parties hereto by executing this Agreement, or a duplicate thereof, each and
every such signatory hotel and concessionaire being hereinafter referred to as
the EMPLOYER, and the NEW YORK HOTEL AND MOTEL TRADES COUNCIL, hereinafter
called the UNION, in its own behalf and in behalf of its several affiliates and
their members, now employed or hereafter to be employed by the EMPLOYER.
WHEREAS, the ASSOCIATION, the EMPLOYER and the UNION
have simultaneously herewith executed a Collective Bargaining Agreement, and
WHEREAS, as part of the consideration for the
execution of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the EMPLOYER agreed to
contribute sums of money equal to a stated percentage of its payroll to a Fund
to be used to provide life, accidental death and dismemberment, accident and
health, and hospitalization insurance to employees covered by the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, and employed by the EMPLOYER, and hospitalization
insurance to the families of such employees, and
WHEREAS, the EMPLOYER, under the award dated September
13, 1944 and under subsequent collective bargaining agreements, made
contributions to the Fund to provide for employees covered by the Collective
Bargaining Agreement benefits similar to the benefits contemplated by the within
Agreement, and hospitalization insurance to the families of such employees, and
WHEREAS, the October 20, 1978 Agreement made between
the parties is superseded by the Collective Bargaining Agreement executed
simultaneously herewith and it is desired to continue payments to the Fund to
provide the benefits hereinafter set forth,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the
EMPLOYER and the UNION agree that the Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be
supplemented by adding hereto the following provisions:
1. (A) The term "employees of the EMPLOYER"
as used in this Supplemental Agreement means all of the employees of the
EMPLOYER who are covered by and are entitled to the benefits of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.
(B). The term "family" as used herein means
an employee's spouse and children under the age of 19 years.
2. The EMPLOYER shall continue to pay the Trustees
(hereinafter called the "Trustees") designated under an Agreement and
Declaration of Trust dated as of August 1944 as amended on July 1, 1948 and
restated effective January 1, 1976 (a copy of which Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust has been exhibited to the EMPLOYER and approved by the
EMPLOYER), the terms and provisions of which Restated Agreement and Declaration
of Trust are herein specifically incorporated by reference, a sum of money
equal to three and seventy-five one-hundredths percent (3.75%) (or such
percentage as may be agreed upon from time to time by the UNION and the
ASSOCIATION) of the wages computed as heretofore payable to the employees of
the EMPLOYER for the preceding pay period, to be administered and expended by
the Trustees pursuant to the provisions of the Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust, for the purpose of providing life, accident and health,
and hospitalization insurance to the employees covered by the Collective
Bargaining Agreement and employed by the EMPLOYER and hospitalization insurance
to the families of such employees. An employer not previously a party to the
Collective Bargaining Agreement shall, upon becoming a party to the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, pay to the Trustees 61/2% of the wages during the first six
months following the effective date of the Agreement in such EMPLOYER'S hotel
and 3.75% of the wages thereafter. The EMPLOYER also shall pay to the Trustees
an additional One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per month for each employee on
the EMPLOYER'S payroll on the 15th day of each month, which money shall be
utilized to establish an optical program for eligible employees.
3. If the Trustees shall complain that any EMPLOYER
has not made full payment to the Trustees as set forth in paragraph No. 2
hereof, such complaint shall be filed with the Impartial Chairman named in the
Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Impartial Chairman shall make the
necessary findings and award and his decision shall be final and binding on the
parties. Any EMPLOYER delinquent in contributions shall be required to pay said
contributions and any audit or accounting fees in connection therewith if said
delinquent contributions are paid prior to the institution of legal or
arbitration proceedings. Any EMPLOYER against whom legal or arbitration
proceedings are instituted shall be required to pay in addition to the amount
of the delinquency, interest at the then legal rate, audit fees, liquidated
damages in the amount of 20% of the amount of the delinquency, attorneys fees
and costs.
4. No employee shall have the option to receive
instead of the insurance benefits any part of the contribution of the EMPLOYER.
No employee shall have the right to assign the insurance benefits or any other
benefits to which he or she may be or become entitled under the Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust or to receive a cash consideration in lieu
of such benefits either upon termination of the trust therein created, or
through severance of employment or otherwise.
5. During
the term of this Supplemental Agreement the UNION obligates itself to enter
into no contract or agreement whereby any EMPLOYER engaged in the hotel
business in the City of New York will not be obligated to pay the amount
required to be paid to the Trustees as set forth in Paragraph No. 2 hereof.
During the term of this Supplemental Agreement, the UNION agrees to insert a
clause in all of its Collective Bargaining Agreements with hotels employing
members of the UNION engaged in the hotel business in the City of New York to
the effect that the hotel shall pay to the Trustees under the Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust the sums set forth in paragraph No. 2 hereof
(as the same may from time to time be modified according to the
terms hereof), to be applied under the Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. This paragraph may be waived by an
instrument in writing executed by the Board of Directors of the HOTEL
ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., and the UNION.
6. (A) This Supplemental Agreement and the Collective
Bargaining Agreement and the Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust shall
be construed as a single document, and all the provisions of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement relating to the administration and enforcement thereof
(including provisions for arbitration) shall apply to the administration and
enforcement of this Supplemental Agreement provided however that any
controversy, claim, complaint, grievance or dispute arising out of or relating
to the provisions of this Supplemental Agreement or the interpretation, breach,
application or performance thereof, shall be referred by the UNION, the
Trustees or the EMPLOYER for arbitration and determination to the Impartial
Chairman provided for in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
(B). The Trustees, in their own names as Trustees, may
institute or intervene in any proceedings at law, in equity, or in bankruptcy
for the purpose of effectuating the collection of any sums due to them from the
EMPLOYER under the provisions of paragraph No. 2.
(C). The Trustees shall have the right to make such
periodic audits of the EMPLOYER'S payroll records as they deem necessary. For
purposes of this provision, payroll records shall include but not be limited to
employee time cards, individual employee earning records, Federal quarterly
withholding and F.I.C.A. tax returns (Form 941), State unemployment tax returns
and Employer cash disbursement records.
(D). In the event of a dispute between the Trustees
and the EMPLOYER, either party may submit same directly to the Impartial Chairman
for determination.
7. In the event that legislation is enacted by the
Federal, State or Municipal Governments levying a tax or other exaction upon
the EMPLOYER for the purpose of establishing a Federally, State or Municipally
administered system of life, health and accident, or hospitalization insurance
under which the employees of the EMPLOYER are insured, the EMPLOYER shall be
credited, against the sums payable under paragraph No. 2 for each pay period
with the amount of such tax or exaction payable by it for such pay period.
8. The provisions of this Supplemental Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect for the full term of the Collective Bargaining
Agreement, but shall terminate and come to an end with the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, or prior thereto by an instrument in writing executed by
the Board of Directors of the HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., and the
UNION, or, in the case of a non-ASSOCIATION hotel or concessionaire EMPLOYER,
by an instrument in writing executed by the non-ASSOCIATION or concessionaire
EMPLOYER and the UNION.
9. All contributions made prior to the date of this
Supplemental Agreement by the EMPLOYER, or due from the EMPLOYER, under the
provisions of the Award by the Commission dated September 13, 1944 and under
subsequent collective bargaining agreements and in the hands of the Trustees as
of the date of this Supplemental Agreement (and not, as of the date of this
Supplemental Agreement, already applied to the purchase of insurance benefits
for employees), and in whatever form or investments such contributions shall
be, shall be deemed to be covered and controlled by, and embraced in and
applied under, the terms of the within Supplemental Agreement and the Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust, free from all rights and claims therein and
thereto on the part of any EMPLOYER or of the UNION, with the same force and
effect as if such contributions, in whatever form the same may be, had been
contributed by the EMPLOYER immediately after the execution of the within
Supplemental Agreement.
10. The
primary purpose of the Supplemental Agreement and the Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust being to provide a practical plan for insurance and
hospitalization benefits for employees and hospitalization benefits for the
families of such employees, it is understood that the form of the plan, and of
this Supplemental Agreement and of the Restated Agreement and Declaration of
Trust, shall not give rise to a literal or formal interpretation or
construction; such interpretation or construction shall be placed on this
Supplemental
Agreement and the Restated Agreement and Declaration
of Trust as will assist in the functioning of the plan, for the benefit of
employees, regardless of form.
11. In no event will the EMPLOYER be entitled to the
return of any part of any contribution hereafter made hereunder, or heretofore
made under the prior Award of the Commission hereinabove referred to or under
collective bargaining agreements.
12. Regardless of the date on which the within
Supplemental Agreement shall be executed, the within Supplemental Agreement
shall be effective as of June 1, 1978 with the same force and effect as if it
had been actually executed on that date. The within Supplemental Agreement
shall, in all things, supersede the aforesaid prior Award of the Commission.
13. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor any
provision herein contained or contained in any other agreement affecting the
same, shall be deemed to release the EMPLOYER from any contribution or contributions
provided for in the Commission's Award of September 13, 1944, or in collective
bargaining agreements, and not yet paid to the Trustees under the terms of said
Commission's Award or under collective bargaining agreements.
14. For the purpose of calculating contributions,
wages shall be defined as including vacation pay, overtime pay, holiday pay,
sick leave pay, personal day pay, jury duty pay, bereavement pay, value of
meals and lodgings where such are part of an employee's wages commencing from the
first day of employment, whether such employment be permanent, temporary,
casual, part-time or extra, and banquet waiters' and waitresses' tips.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused
this Supplemental Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized
representatives upon the day and year first above written.

1981 between the HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., hereinafter called
the ASSOCIATION, and operators of hotels who are Active Members of the
Association, and with respect to whom the UNION (as hereinafter designated) has
been designated as sole collective bargaining agent for the employees in the
hotels and concessionaires covered by this Agreement, and who shall become
parties hereto by executing this Agreement, or a duplicate thereof, each and
every such signatory hotel and concessionaire being hereinafter referred to as
the EMPLOYER, and the NEW YORK HOTEL AND MOTEL TRADES COUNCIL, hereinafter
called the UNION, in its own behalf and in behalf of its several affiliates and
their members, now employed or hereafter to be employed by the EMPLOYER.
WHEREAS, the ASSOCIATION, the EMPLOYER and the UNION
have simultaneously herewith executed a Collective Bargaining Agreement, and
WHEREAS, as part of the consideration for the
execution of the Collective Bargaining Agreement the EMPLOYER agreed to
contribute to a Fund to be used to provide dental care to employees and to the
families of the employees, and
WHEREAS, the EMPLOYER, under previous collective
bargaining agreements, made contributions to the said Fund, and
WHEREAS, the October 20, 1978 Collective Bargaining
Agreement made between the parties is superseded by the Collective Bargaining
Agreement executed simultaneously herewith and it is desired to continue the
payments to the Fund to provide the benefits hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the
EMPLOYER and the UNION agree that the Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be
supplemented by adding hereto the following provisions.
1. (A) The term "employees of the EMPLOYER"
as used in this Supplemental Agreement means all of the employees of the
EMPLOYER who are covered by and are entitled to the benefits of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.
(B). The term "family" as used herein means
an employee's spouse and children under the age of 19 years.
2. The EMPLOYER shall continue to pay to the Trustees
of the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New
York City, Inc. Dental Fund (hereinafter called the "Trustees")
designated under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated as of May 13, 1977
(a copy of which Agreement and Declaration of Trust has been exhibited to the
EMPLOYER and approved by the EMPLOYER), the terms and provisions of which
Agreement and Declaration of Trust are herein specifically incorporated by
reference, a sum of money equal to two per cent (2%) (or such percentage as may
be agreed upon from time to time by the UNION and the ASSOCIATION) of the wages
computed as heretofore payable to the employees of the Employer for the
preceding pay period, to be administered and expended by the Trustees pursuant
to the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, for the purpose of
providing dental care to employees and their families.
3. If the Trustees shall complain that any EMPLOYER
has not made full payment to the Trustees as set forth in paragraph No. 2
hereof, such complaint shall be filed with the Impartial Chairman named in the
Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Impartial Chairman shall make the
necessary findings and award and his decision shall be final and binding on the

entitled under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or to receive a cash
consideration in lieu of such benefits either upon termination of the trust
therein created, or through severance of employment or otherwise.
5. During the term of this Supplemental Agreement, the

hereof), to be applied under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust. This
paragraph may be waived by an instrument in writing executed by the Board of
Directors of the HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., and the UNION.

enforcement of this Supplemental Agreement provided however that any
controversy, claim, complaint, grievance or dispute arising out of or relating
to the provisions of this Supplemental Agreement or the interpretation, breach,

periodic audits of the EMPLOYER'S payroll records as they deem necessary. For
purposes of this provision payroll records shall include but not be limited to
employee time cards, individual employee earning records, Federal quarterly
withholding and F.I.C.A. tax returns (Form 941), State unemployment tax returns
and Employer cash disbursement records.
(D). In the event of a dispute between the Trustees
and the EMPLOYER, either party may submit same directly to the Impartial
Chairman for determination.

remain in full force and effect for the full term of the Collective Bargaining
Agreement, but shall terminate and come to an end with the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, or prior thereto by an instrument in writing executed by
the Board of Directors of the HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, INC., and the
UNION, or in the case of a non-ASSOCIATION hotel or concessionaire EMPLOYER, by
an instrument in writing executed by the non-ASSOCIATION hotel or
concessionaire EMPLOYER and the UNION.
8. All contributions made prior to the date of this
Supplemental Agreement by the EMPLOYER or due from the EMPLOYER under the
provisions of the previous Collective Bargaining Agreement and in the hands of

all rights and claims therein and thereto on the part of any EMPLOYER or of the
UNION, with the same force and effect as if such contribution, in whatever form
the same may be, had been contributed by the EMPLOYER immediately after the
execution of the within Supplemental Agreement.

and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust being to provide a practical plan of

Declaration of Trust, shall not give rise to a literal or formal interpretation
or construction; such interpretation or construction shall be placed on this
Supplemental Agreement and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust as will
assist in the functioning of the plan, for the benefit of the families of
employees, regardless of form.
10. In no event will the EMPLOYER be entitled to the
return of any part of any contribution hereafter made hereunder.

provision herein contained or contained in any other agreement affecting the
same, shall be deemed to release the EMPLOYER from any contribution or

Notice to all Contributing Employers of The New York
Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of new York City, Inc. Pension Fund:
The
Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 ("the Act") imposes
a potential liability upon an employer who "withdraws" as a
contributing employer from a pension fund. "Withdrawals" and the
acts/conditions/circumstances occasioning same are defined in the Act. In
general, a contributing employer "withdraws" when it ceases to be
obligated to make periodic contributions to a pension fund due to a cessation
or, in some cases, a dimunition of operations or after a sale, transfer of its
business, or after a union is decertified
as bargaining agent. All contributing employers are
urged to obtain legal advice as to the foregoing withdrawal liability.
