Labor Harmony The parties acknowledge that it is of the utmost importance to City, Tenant, and all those occupying or to occupy space in the Domestic and International Terminals that there be no interruption in the progress of the construction work. Accordingly, City and Tenant agree as follows:
(a) In any contract or undertaking which Tenant may make with a contractor for work in the Premises, provision shall be made for the dismissal from the job of workmen whose work is unskilled or otherwise objectionable, in the Director’s (and, for this purpose, “the Director” shall include a reference to the Airport’s Architect) reasonable judgment. Tenant shall cause any such workmen to be discharged from the project within twenty-four (24) hours after Director shall give notice to Tenant requiring such discharge.
(b) Tenant shall use, and Tenant shall require its contractor and subcontractors to use, their respective best efforts to prevent work stoppages on the Premises, and/or elsewhere on the Airport, to the extent attributable to work being performed on the Premises, irrespective of the reason of any such stoppage. In the event that the conduct or presence of any employee(s) of Tenant or Tenant’s contractor(s) or subcontractor(s) causes a labor dispute or work stoppage, Tenant shall have such employee(s) immediately removed from the Airport upon Director’s request.
(c) Tenant shall include, and shall cause its contractor to include, the following clause in all contracts with its general contractors and subcontractors: There shall be no manifestations on the project of any dispute between any labor organization and any Tenant contractor or subcontractor, including but not limited to, any area standards picketing against said contractor or subcontractor. Should there be any manifestation of a labor dispute between any Tenant contractor or subcontractor and any union, which results in a stoppage of work on the part of said contractor or subcontractor’s employees or the employees of any other employer or supplier on the project or at the Airport, which in the sole judgment of the Director will cause, or is likely to cause, unreasonable delay in the progress of construction or operation of any business at the Airport, then upon written notice from Director, Tenant shall declare the contractor or subcontractor in default of its contract, and upon such notice, Tenant shall have the right to take such steps as are necessary to finish the uncompleted portion of the work to be performed by the contractor or subcontractor.
(d) Without limiting the generality of indemnities elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and each City Entity for any and all Losses which arise from the actions taken pursuant to this Section 7.9.
