ARTICLE 5 – MANAGEMENT RIGHTS

 

SECTION 1.         MANAGEMENT RIGHTS

Except as expressly and clearly limited by the terms of this Agreement, the Company reserves and retains exclusively all of its normal and inherent rights with respect to the Management of the business, including but not limited to, its right to select and direct the number of employees assigned to any particular classification of work; to subcontract work; to establish and change work schedules and assignments; to implement and effect a lay off; to terminate or otherwise release employees from duty for lack of work or other just cause; to make and enforce rules for personal grooming, and the maintenance of discipline; to discontinue conduct of its business or operations in whole or part; to institute technological changes (e.g. scheduling methodologies) and otherwise to take such measures as Management may determine to be necessary to the orderly, efficient and economical operation of the business.

 

SECTION 2.     BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCONTINUATION/SALE OR LEASE OF ASSETS

(a)     The Company may discontinue business segments or sell/lease physical assets which include the operations without notification to or bargaining with the Union regarding the decision to discontinue, sell or lease.  The parties agree and understand that the sale or lease of a physical asset may result in the continuance of operations by the third party at the Walt Disney World Resort and that such continuance of operations associated with the asset does not constitute subcontracting as defined in Article 25.

 

Should such discontinuation/sale/lease affect any positions covered by this Agreement, the Company will provide the Union with at least sixty (60) days notice prior to the completion of the transaction and, upon request, meet and negotiate in good faith with the Unions to the full extent required by law with regard to the effect of the transaction on employees covered by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, severance conditions, transfer within the unit, and/or the potential for continued employment with the purchaser.  It is understood, however, that agreement between the parties as a result of such negotiations is not a prerequisite to the completion of the transaction at any time after the sixty (60) days have elapsed.

 

(b)     Should the Company subsequently re-acquire and begin to operate a business segment previously discontinued, sold, or leased pursuant to 2(a) above, such business segment shall automatically be included within the Scope of the Agreement defined in Article 4, Section 1.

 

 

ARTICLE 6 – WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCKOUTS

 

SECTION 1.         NO STRIKE – NO LOCKOUT                

During the existence of this Agreement, there shall be no strikes, picketing, work stoppages or disruptive activity by the Union or by an employee, and there shall be no lockout by the Company.

 

SECTION 2.         FAILURE TO CROSS PICKET LINE – VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT

Failure of any employee covered by this Agreement to cross any picket line established at the Walt Disney World Resort is a violation of this Agreement.  In applying the provisions of this section, however, it is not the intention of the Company to require employees to cross a picket line if, after a reasonable effort to gain entry has been made, it is apparent to Management that such entry will result in physical violence or injury to the employees.

SECTION 3.         UNION’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PREVENT WORK STOPPAGE, STRIKE OR DISRUPTIVE ACTIVITY

The Union shall not sanction, aid or abet, encourage or condone a work stoppage, strike or disruptive activity at the Walt Disney World Resort and shall undertake all possible steps to prevent or to terminate any strike, work stoppage or disruptive activity.  No employee shall engage in activities that violate this Article.  Any employee who participates in or encourages any activities which interfere with the normal operation of the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort shall be subject to disciplinary action, including discharge.  The Union shall not be liable for acts of employees for which it has no responsibility.  The failure of the Company to exercise this right in any instance shall not be deemed a waiver of this right in any other instances, nor shall the Company’s right to discipline all employees for any other cause be in any way affected by this Section.

 

SECTION 4.         DISPUTES WITH CONCESSIONAIRES

Disputes between the Unions parties hereto and any concessionaire operating in WALT DISNEY WORLD shall be so handled as not to interfere with the Company’s business or the business of any concessionaire not a party to such disputes.  No picketing or concerted action against any one or more of the concessionaires will be conducted at WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort.  “Concessionaire” as used herein, includes a concessionaire and also a licensee, exhibitor, participant, sponsor, contractor, subcontractor or lessee.  In the event any other organization pickets at or near WALT DISNEY WORLD resort, the Unions signatory hereto agree that such picket line so far as they and the employees they represent are concerned shall not affect the operation of the Company or concessionaires who are not involved in the dispute.

 

SECTION 5.         EXPEDITED ARBITRATION

Any party to this Agreement may institute the following procedure in lieu of or in addition to any other action at law or equity, when a breach of this Article is alleged.

 

(a)     The party invoking this procedure shall notify the permanent Arbitrator.  In the event the permanent Arbitrator is unavailable, he/she shall appoint his/her alternate.  Notice to the Arbitrator shall be by the most expeditious means available, with a notice by facsimile and/or e-mail to the Business Manager of the Union alleged to be in violation of the Agreement, and a copy of the facsimile and/or e-mail to the Union Co‑Chairman of the Management‑Union Committee. 

 

(b)     Upon receipt of said notice, the Arbitrator named above or his/her alternate shall set and hold a hearing within twenty‑four (24) hours.

 

(c)     The Arbitrator shall notify the parties by facsimile and/or e-mail of the place and time he/she has chosen for this hearing.  Said hearing shall be completed in one session with appropriate recesses at the Arbitrator’s discretion.  A failure of any party or parties to attend said hearing shall not delay the hearing of evidence or issuance of an Award by the Arbitrator.

 

(d)     The sole issue at the hearing shall be whether or not a violation of this Article has in fact occurred and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to consider any matter in justification, explanation or mitigation of such violation or to award damages, which issue is reserved for court proceedings, if any.  The Arbitrator shall not have the authority to alter, amend, change, modify, add to or subtract from or reform any provision, Article or language of this Agreement.  The Award will be issued in writing within three (3) hours after the close of the hearing, and may be issued without an Opinion.  If any party desires an Opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen (15) days, but its issuance shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of the Award.  The Arbitrator may order cessation of the violation of this Article and other appropriate relief, and such Award shall be served on all parties by hand or registered mail upon request.

 

(e)     Such Award may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction upon filing of this Agreement and all other relevant documents referred to herein above, in the following manner:

 

Notice of the filing of such enforcement proceedings shall be given to the other party by facsimile and/or e-mail.

 

In the proceeding to obtain a temporary order enforcing the Arbitrator’s Award as issued under Section 5(d) of this Article, all parties waive the right to a hearing and agree that such proceeding may be ex parte.  Such Agreement does not waive any party’s rights to participate in a hearing for a final Order of Enforcement.  The Court’s Order or Orders enforcing the Arbitrator’s Award shall be served on all parties by hand or by delivery to their last known address or by registered mail.

 

(f)      Any rights created by Statute or law governing arbitration proceeding inconsistent with the above procedure, or which interfere with compliance thereof, are hereby waived by the parties to whom they accrue.

 

(g)     The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be divided equally between the moving party or parties and the party or parties responded.

 

 

ARTICLE 7 – NONDISCRIMINATION

 

SECTION 1.         UNION ACTIVITIES

The Company and the Union agree that there shall be no discrimination against any employee due to Union activities or affiliation.

 

SECTION 2.         NONDISCRIMINATION AND NON-RETALIATION

The Company and the Union agree there shall be no discrimination against any employee or prospective employee due to race, color, creed, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, marital status, disability or on any basis prohibited by federal or state legislation. The parties further agree to support Affirmative Action efforts.

 

The Company and the Union agree there shall be no retaliation against an individual who has made a good faith complaint about violation of the Company’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Harassment policies, or has cooperated with an investigation into a complaint of violation of these policies.  Employees who believe they have been harassed, discriminated against or retaliated against, in violation of the above stated policies, should promptly report the facts of the incident and the name of the person involved to the Human Resource Department, Employee Relations Department, or Union Representative.

 

SECTION 3.         AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

The Company and the Union acknowledge the reasonable accommodation commitment of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the protected status of qualified applicants and employees with disabilities.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as intended to be a barrier to reasonable accommodation to qualified persons with disabilities, provided any proposed accommodation is reasonable and does not unnecessarily usurp the legitimate rights of other employees under this Agreement.  In this regard, the Company and the Union commit to meet to resolve potential conflicts between the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.         LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER

For purposes of this Agreement, references to employees in the masculine gender shall be deemed to apply equally and without distinction or discrimination to the female gender.

 

 

ARTICLE 8 – UNION ACTIVITY AND CHECK‑OFF

 

SECTION 1.         UNION SOLICITATION

Solicitation for Union purposes by the Union shall not take place on working time, in working areas, in public areas, nor in the tunnel complex (except in break areas contained there), but may be conducted in non-working areas and on non-working time in parking areas, break areas and lunch rooms.

 

 

SECTION 2.         ACCESS OF UNION REPRESENTATIVES TO PREMISES

Representatives of the signatory Unions, designated in writing to the Company by the Union, shall be permitted to enter the non‑public areas at the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort for the purpose of determining that this Agreement is being complied with by the Company and for the presentation and handling of grievances.  Such representatives, who shall not be more than a total of fifty (50) in number at any one time, unless mutually agreed otherwise, shall comply with the access regulation and security regulation of the Company, as furnished to each Union Representative by the Company, and shall not interrupt the performance of employee work assignments.

 

SECTION 3.         UNION ACCESS PROCEDURES

(a)     Union Orientation.  The Company agrees that it will allow a Union Representative access to new casual regular bargaining unit employees at orientation for twenty (20) minutes to introduce their organization and distribute Union literature.  The Company will provide the Union with a room of adequate size to accommodate the group, equipped with sufficient tables and chairs.  The Company will reserve this room on a priority basis for the Union’s use.  Storage space will also be provided for the Union’s projector.  Any change in the scheduling of Union Orientation will be discussed with the Union in advance.  However, the time allotted for Union access will not be at the end of an orientation day. 

 

(b)     Conversion to casual regular.  The Union will be allowed access to those casual temporary employees who convert to casual regular status.  The names and work locations of individuals or small groups who convert to casual regular status will be made available to the Union on a monthly basis, upon conversion, to allow access through the “one-on-one” procedure.  When large numbers of employees are converted to casual regular status and operating efficiency permits, the Union may conduct a group orientation meeting in lieu of the “one-on-one” procedure.  These meetings will be held in the respective operating areas.

 

(c)     One-on-One Meetings.  Authorized Business Agents will be granted access to non-members in their respective work locations.  Such access/contacts will be subject to the following guidelines and restrictions:

 

1.        The Union may mail, distribute or request supervision to distribute a solicitation letter to non-members within a work department/location, provided a distribution list is furnished to the Company, or in the alternative, provide the Company with the distribution list and letters for distribution.  If the Union notifies the Company the mail option is elected, the Company will furnish the addresses of non-members.  Supervision will neither encourage nor discourage employees from electing to meet with the Union.

 

2.        The letter will not be disparaging to the Company and will clearly indicate that the employee has the option to meet or not meet with the Union.

 

3.        The Company will schedule one-on-ones for employees who return a signed letter to the Union indicating the desire to meet with the Union.

 

4.        Meetings will be conducted on Company time on a mutually convenient schedule.  The location of the meeting site will vary from area to area.  Contact should be out of the guest area, but reasonably accessible to the work location.  Supervision and other employees should remain away from the meeting area to afford as much privacy as possible.

 

5.        Meetings should be kept to a reasonable limit (5-10 minutes), and Supervision shall be responsible for monitoring this time.

 

6.        Contacts under this Section will be limited to one meeting per employee.

 

SECTION 4.         SHOP STEWARD OR ALTERNATE

(a)     The Union shall have the right to designate Shop Stewards in an amount mutually agreed upon by the parties.  The number of Shop Stewards may be changed by mutual agreement of the parties.  The local Union shall, in writing, notify the Employee Relations office of the Company as to the identity of the designated Shop Steward.  The Shop Steward shall have the right to receive, but not to promote, complaints or differences and to discuss and assist in the adjustment of the same with the appropriate supervisor on Company property without loss of pay during his/her regular working hours.  The Company will not discriminate against the Shop Steward in the proper performance of his/her Union duties provided that such duties do not unreasonably interfere with his/her regular work or with the work of other employees and he/she shall not leave his/her work station without first notifying his/her appropriate Supervisor as to his/her intent, the reason therefore, where he/she can be reached and the estimated time he/she will be gone.

 

(b)     Where the complaint or difference involves more than one (1) employee, it must be presented to Management by the Shop Steward and one (1) employee for the employees involved unless presented outside of regular working hours, or unless the Division Head involved gives permission for other additional employees to attend such presentation.

 

(c)     The Company agrees to notify the affiliated Union in the event a Shop Steward is transferred to a different work area/location.  In the event of discharge of a Shop Steward, the Company will notify the Union Office in advance of the termination.  Failure of the Union to provide the Company with an up‑to‑date listing of Stewards will relieve the Company’s obligation of notification to the Stewards as provided in this Section 4.  

 

(d)     A Shop Steward or Alternate will accompany representatives of Management whenever locker inspection(s) are made.

 

(e)     The Steward shall promote harmonious relations between the Company and employees.  All new employee trainer checklists will include a notation regarding the introduction/identification of the Shop Steward for the new employee by the Trainer.

 

SECTION 5.         CHECK‑OFF

The Company agrees to withhold from the wages on each payroll week uniform weekly membership dues, initiation fees and/or service charges for each employee who signs and submits an authorization card.  The Company shall forward such dues to the certified financial secretary or other properly designated official of the Union on or before the third week following the last week in the month in which the dues are deducted.  The Company shall also forward an electronic check-off report which lists employee name, social security number, statused origin/department/location and the amount of the deduction.

 

The Union agrees to indemnify and save the Company harmless against any and all claims, suits or other forms of liability arising out of the deduction of money for Union dues from employees’ pay.  The Union assumes full responsibility for the disposition of the monies so deducted once they have been turned over to the certified financial secretary or other properly designated official of the Union.

 

SECTION 6.         MONTHLY REPORTS

(a)     The Company agrees to provide each affiliate with a monthly member/non-member list for their portion of the bargaining unit.  The list shall include each employee’s full name, rate of pay, social security number and address.  The information will be provided electronically in alphabetical order by origin, department and work location and shall indicate the employee’s Union or non-Union status.

 

(b)     The Company agrees to provide each affiliate with a monthly seniority list for their portion of the bargaining unit.  The list shall include each employee’s full name, social security number and date of hire.  The information will be provided electronically in order of seniority by origin, department and work location.

(b)     Where computerized scheduling is used, the Company will take appropriate steps to educate employees, Managers and Union Shop Stewards on how to properly complete the schedule information sheets.

(See Appendix A)

 

                Overtime pay for Casual Regular employees will be in accordance with the Company’s existing practice until ratification of the full-time 2004 Agreement between Walt Disney World Co. and the Service Trades Council.  Upon ratification of that Agreement, any change or changes in overtime pay agreed to by the parties in that Agreement will automatically be incorporated into this Agreement and will apply to the Casual Regular employees for the duration of the 2004 Casual Regular Agreement.  The Company and the Union agree that the Company will not be obligated to engage in any bargaining, whether over effects, impact or otherwise, over any such change or changes in overtime compensation or over the implementation thereof.

If an employee is scheduled to commence work at or after 10:00 p.m. and on or before 4:00 a.m., or more than 50% of his/her work shift is between midnight and 6:00 a.m., he/she will be paid a differential of sixty cents ($.60) per hour in addition to his/her straight time rate for his/her scheduled work day.

SECTION 5.         PAYDAY

Employees shall be paid weekly and their pay will not be delayed more than six (6) days from the end of each payroll week, providing, however, that if a payday falls on an employee's regularly scheduled day off or a paid holiday, he/she shall receive his/her paycheck on his/her next regularly scheduled work day.

In order to reduce the potential for payroll errors, the Union agrees to affirmatively encourage employees to properly use the time clock system.  When a pay shortage occurs, the Company will, upon an employee’s timely request, in accordance with the procedure adopted by the Company, issue a check for the pay which is due as quickly as possible, but no later than the next pay day following the request.

                Whenever an employee is assigned or transferred to perform two (2) or more job classifications during the day, the employee will receive his/her permanent rate or the rate for the job to which he/she was transferred, whichever is higher, for all time worked in the higher classification.  The only exception is when a non-tipped employee works in a tipped classification, he/she will be paid the appropriate tipped rate for all hours worked in that classification.

 

SECTION 4.  ASSIGNMENT, REASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF SHOP STEWARDS

 

In the administration of this Article, the Company will not involuntarily assign, reassign or transfer Shop Stewards.

 

 

ARTICLE 15 ‑ DISCIPLINE, STANDARDS OF
CONDUCT AND DISCHARGE

 

SECTION 1.          STANDARD OF CONDUCT

High standards of conduct are necessary to preserve the Company's public image and to ensure a safe, harmonious and productive working atmosphere.  The Company shall administer the sections of this Article with due consideration for the employee.  Such consideration shall include length of service, work record and seriousness of violation.  The Company will make every effort to ensure the consistent and timely application of the disciplinary section of this Agreement.

 

                        SECTION 2.          UNION REPRESENTATION

The employee has the right to the presence and advice of his/her Shop Steward at the time of disciplinary action.  In any formal questioning by the Company that could lead to disciplinary action, the employee will be informed of the purpose of the questioning and that he/she has a right to a Shop Steward’s presence.

 

SECTION 3.          NOTICE OF INVESTIGATION

In those circumstances where the Company determines that an investigation will be conducted regarding an employee's actions and where such investigation may lead to disciplinary action but does not require that the employee be suspended from work, the Union agrees that the decision not to suspend the employee during the investigation shall not be utilized in any manner, in any subsequent proceeding as evidence contesting the disciplinary action.

 

SECTION 4.         DISCIPLINARY/INVESTIGATORY SUSPENSIONS

(a)     An employee may be suspended from work so that the Company may complete a thorough investigation and review of an alleged incident/offense.  At the conclusion of the investigation, the employee will receive one of the following:

 

1.        No discipline and a return to work with full back-pay;

 

2.        A reprimand in accordance with Section 5(a) below and a return to work with full back-pay;

 

3.        Disciplinary suspension in accordance with Section 4 (b) below; or

 

4.        Termination in accordance with Section 6 below.

(d)     The Parties agree that back pay will be calculated based on the average hours worked during the previous twelve (12) weeks worked by the employee affected.

Reprimands, other than absenteeism/tardiness and clock-in/clock-out, shall be recorded and effective on the date the incident occurred.

 

(b)     Disciplinary Point System

1.        Reprimands may count as one (1) or two (2) disciplinary points, such determination shall be based upon a fact-specific evaluation of the disciplinary incident.

 

2.        Any combination of five (5) disciplinary points within the preceding twelve (12) months shall result in the employee's termination.

 

3.        It is specifically understood by the parties that the disciplinary point system is not restricted to same or similar offenses but may include different offenses on a cumulative basis.

4.        Absenteeism/Tardiness discipline and Clock In/Out discipline are specifically excluded from the disciplinary point system defined in this section.  Refer to Sections 7 and 8.

SECTION 5.          PERSONAL APPEARANCE RULES SET FORTH IN WRITING

It is recognized that the Company may make and enforce rules relating to the personal appearance which must be set forth in writing and must be reviewed with the Union prior to implementation.   In situations where an employee exceeds the size limitations of the costume of his/her current job classification, the Company will make reasonable efforts to transfer such employee.
