This Agreement is made and entered into this 17th day of October, 2007 by and between GREEKTOWN CASINO, LLC, a limited liability corporation located at 000 X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (herein after designated “Employer” or “Company”) and THE DETROIT CASINO COUNCIL (hereinafter designated as “Union”).

2.01. Recognition. The Employer recognizes the Detroit Casino Council as the exclusive bargaining representative for the Employer’s full and regular part-time Team Members employed at its Casino/Hotel facility, as indicated in the first paragraph of this Agreement, working in those job classifications listed in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement.

2.02. The parties specifically agree that nothing in Section 2.01 above shall be construed to extend recognition to:


	•	Persons working at Greektown Casino’s Detroit facility in classifications that are not listed in Exhibit 1;

	•	Temporary Team Members employed pursuant to bona fide internship program through an accredited institution. The Employer will notify the Union of internships and educational programs involving bargaining unit functions. No Team Member shall have any reduction in hours because of such programs.

	•	Supervisors and guards as defined in the National Labor Relations Act.

ARTICLE 3

NO DISCRIMINATION

3.01. The Employer and the Union agree that neither will discriminate against any Team Member because of membership or non-membership in, or activity on behalf of the Union, provided that a Team Member’s Union activities shall not interfere with the performance of the Team Member’s work for the Employer. Neither Greektown Casino nor the Union shall discriminate against Team Members because of gender, race, color,

creed, national origin, age, religion, veteran status, disability, height, weight, familial status, sexual orientation or marital status.

3.02. The Employer and the Union are committed to maintaining a work environment free from sexual and other prohibited harassment. Prohibited conduct includes unwelcome sexual advances, harassment, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, explicitly or implicitly making sexual conduct a condition of employment or promotion, displaying sexually offensive images or words, repeating offensive commentaries about someone’s body, or making derogatory jokes.

Greektown Casino and the Union agree that notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Employer may take whatever steps necessary to comply with any applicable Federal or State statutes concerning discrimination.

ARTICLE 4

HOURS OF WORK, SHIFTS, DAYS OFF AND SCHEDULING

4.01. Full-time Team Members shall be scheduled to work shifts of either eight (8) hours per day or ten (10) hours per day unless specifically agreed otherwise by the parties. The Employer may schedule split shifts only for banquets or other special events.

4.02. Full-time Team Members assigned to eight (8) hour shifts shall have five (5) consecutive shifts per week, all on the same shift and full-time Team Members assigned to ten (10) hour shifts shall have four (4) consecutive shifts per week, all on the same shift, unless specifically agreed otherwise by the parties, unless sufficient work is not available on the same shift. Days off shall be consecutive. A Team Member may, with the approval of management, voluntarily request non-consecutive shifts and days off. A Team Member, with the approval of management, may trade days off in a given week; approval of management shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.03. The Employer may schedule a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of bargaining unit positions as part-time Team Members. A part-time person is defined as a Team Member who is scheduled to work less than 32 hours in a workweek. The parties agree that the number of full-time positions available for Team Members shall be maximized, and the Employer will attempt to maintain as many full-time positions as is reasonably possible. The Employer shall not displace a full-time Team Member with a part-time schedule. Part-time Team Members who have worked an average of at least thirty-two and one-quarter (32 ¼) hours per week for a full calendar quarter beginning in January, April, July and October will be considered as full-time Team Members if they so desire and their status will be reviewed quarterly.

4.04. All hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in one day, or ten (10) hours in one day if working a ten (10) hour shift, and all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in one week shall be paid at time and one-half (1½ X) the Team Member’s regular straight time hourly rate of pay. Overtime shall not be paid under this Section for more than one reason for the same hours worked. All hours paid for time off (e.g., vacation, funeral leave and personal/sick time) shall be considered hours worked for purpose of this Article.

Overtime which is scheduled in advance shall be offered to qualified Team Members in order of classification seniority, and in the absence of volunteers may be required in reverse order of classification seniority. If there is a pattern of required overtime in a particular department, the parties will confer on a solution.

4.05. In each department the Employer shall post each week, in a conspicuous place available to Team Members and Union representatives, a work schedule showing the classification and first and last name of each Team Member, classification and house seniority of each Team Member and specifying days off and starting and finishing times. When the Employer instructs a Team Member to report to work, or does not notify a Team Member not to report as previously scheduled, and the Team Member is not allowed to work, the Team Member will be paid at the Team Member’s regular rate of pay for that shift, provided that the Team Member reports to work at the assigned hour. Team Members who voluntarily leave work with the Employer’s approval, in accordance with a request for an early out will be paid for the actual hours worked.

4.06. Schedules of work shall not be changed by the Employer with less than one (1) week advance notice, except in the event of an emergency. Available extra work may be offered to part-time Team Members or as overtime to full-time Team Members.

4.07. Team Members, upon request, may be granted early outs with the approval of management. Opportunities for early outs shall be distributed based on the order of requests received within each start time and subject to business needs.

4.08. Nothing contained in this Article is intended to constitute a guarantee of any number of hours or shifts per week.

SENIORITY, PROMOTIONS, AND TRANSFERS

For part-time Team Members as defined in this Agreement, the Employer may in individual cases (but not routinely) extend the probationary period for up to two (2) additional calendar months upon written notice to the Team Members and the Union. At the end of the probationary period, the Team Member’s seniority date shall date back to his or her most recent date of hire. A probationary Team Member may be separated at the sole discretion of the Employer. Such termination shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure provided by this Agreement.

7.02. Definition of Seniority.

a. House Seniority. House seniority shall be defined as the total length of a Team Member’s continuous service in years, months, and days from the Team Member’s most recent date of hire.

b. Classification Seniority. Classification seniority shall be defined as a Team Member’s length of continuous service in years, months, and days from the Team Member’s most recent date of hire into or transfer into the Team Member’s present classification. Classification seniority shall not be considered interrupted because of the merger of two or more job classifications into one classification. Classification mergers include instances where the duties of one (1) classification has substantially taken over the duties of another classification. In the event of a merged classification, the Team Members whose duties have been substantially assumed by another classification will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Employer’s training program, if there is one, to assist the Team Member to qualify for the new classification. In the event of the merger, the Team Members whose jobs have been merged into the new classification shall retain their classification seniority in the event they transfer into the new classification. In the event of a tie, the Team Member with the greater house seniority shall be the most senior. If both Team Members have the same house seniority, the tiebreaker shall be the social security number in accordance with this Article.

c. For purposes of this Section, classifications are defined as the classifications identified in Exhibit 1 of this Agreement.

d. All Team Members shall have their date of hire as their seniority date. Seniority for Team Members hired on the same date shall be determined by the last four (4) numbers of the Team Member’s social security number, with the lower number receiving greater seniority. The Union and the Human Resources Department shall resolve any disputes about the operation of seniority in a particular department.

7.03. Layoffs and Recalls.

a. In the event of a layoff due to a reduction in force, or a reduction of hours, the Employer shall effectuate a layoff in the affected classifications in the following order:


	•	Probationary Team Members;

	•	Part-time Team Members in reverse order of house seniority; and

	•	Full-time Team Members in reverse order of house seniority.

Team Members shall be recalled in the reverse of the order above, provided they have the licensures and qualifications to perform satisfactorily the available work.

b. When the Employer determines there is to be a layoff, Team Members who are scheduled to be laid off shall be given one (1) week written notice of layoff except in instances beyond the control of Management. When layoffs are being planned, the Employer, when practicable, will inform the Union and will upon request discuss the potential impact upon the Bargaining Unit caused by the layoff. The parties recognize that a number of factors, including but not limited to, the protection of assets, will determine the timing of the notice.

The Employer will provide the Union concurrent written notice providing the name, seniority and classification of Team Members being laid off.

c. Team Members will be recalled to their regular job classifications in accordance with their house seniority provided they have the qualifications to perform satisfactorily the available work. At the time of layoff, the Team Member can state availability for work. In accordance with their seniority, Team Members in layoff status will be offered available work in their classifications before additional Team Members are hired and, to the extent practical, before part-time Team Members are scheduled for additional hours or before regular Team Members are assigned to work overtime. The Employer shall notify the Team Member of recall or of available work at their last known telephone number or address. When the Team Member indicates availability, the Team Member shall not be called for work after the Team Member is unavailable or refuses three (3) offers.

d. Team Members to be laid off in accordance with this Section may be laid off without regard to their respective house seniority as each completes their current workweek.

e. Team Members whose jobs are eliminated, or whose layoff is anticipated to last more than two (2) calendar months, shall be given the opportunity to transfer to bargaining unit positions for which the Team Member is qualified and have not been filled pursuant to the transfer bid provisions of this Agreement, and before such positions are posted as promotional opportunities. A Team Member transferring to

another position will have recall rights to the former position for twelve (12) calendar months.

f. When it is necessary to reduce the workforce under the above procedure, Stewards will be retained by shift in their respective area provided they have the ability to perform the work available.

g. In instances where a bargaining unit position is to be filled by an external candidate, the position will be posted. The Employer shall give the Union an opportunity to meet and discuss available bargaining unit opportunities for laid off Team Members before new external candidates are hired. Laid off Team Members who apply for the bargaining unit position shall be given first consideration for the position, provided they are qualified.

h. Team Members who are sent written notice of recall at their last known address on file with the Employer and fail to report to work within five (5) days of their reporting date shall waive their recall rights unless satisfactory proof of failure to return is provided to Management.

7.04. Transfers Within Classification.

a. When there is a permanent vacancy, on a particular shift, Team Members in the same job classification who desire to transfer to the vacancy will be transferred on the basis of their classification seniority, provided that the senior Team Member desiring the transfer is qualified to perform satisfactorily the work on the shift applied for.

b. A Team Member transferred under this Section shall assume the weekly schedule of days of work and days off, and the daily shift schedule, applicable to the vacant position to which the Team Member transfers. The Team Member shall not be eligible for another transfer request under this Section for six (6) months.

c. If the Team Member notifies the Employer that he/she does not desire to remain or the Employer determines that a Team Member transferred under this Section cannot perform satisfactorily the work on the shift to which transferred, the Team Member shall be transferred back to the Team Member’s former shift within thirty (30) days worked from the date of transfer. Should the above provision be exercised by the Team Member, the Team Member is precluded from transferring to another position for six (6) months.

d. The resulting vacancy created by a transfer under this Section shall be filled by the next senior qualified Team Member who desires to work on the shift where said vacancy exists.

e. Vacancies under this Section shall be posted for seven (7) days in the department where the vacancy exists. The Employer may fill the vacancy temporarily during the posting period.

7.05. Promotions.

a. Promotions are only available to full-time Team Members who have accrued six (6) months house seniority.

b. When the Employer determines that a vacancy exists, the vacancy shall be posted as a promotional opportunity. Team Members shall be awarded promotional opportunities for which they are qualified before new Team Members are hired. The qualifications required for a position will be determined by the Employer; such determination shall not be arbitrary or capricious.

c. When more than one Team Member desires a particular promotional opportunity, the Employer will consider the Team Member’s house seniority, qualifications to perform the work satisfactorily and employment record. When the aforementioned criteria are relatively equal, the Team Member with the greater seniority shall be promoted.

d. A “promotional opportunity” shall be deemed to be a transfer to another classification in which the transferred Team Member has an opportunity for increased income or for subsequent job progression.

e. Permanent vacancies to be filled by promotion under this Section shall be posted for seven (7) days in locations to which Team Members have regular access. The Employer may fill the vacancy temporarily during this period.

f. If the Team Member notifies the Employer that he/she does not desire to remain or a Team Member promoted under this Section cannot perform satisfactorily the work of the job to which promoted, the Team Member shall be transferred back to the Team Member’s former job, shift and station, within thirty (30) shifts worked after the date of the promotion. Should the above provision be exercised by the Team Member, the Team Member is precluded from applying for a promotion for six (6) months.

7.06. A Team Member’s continuous service, seniority, and status as a Team Member will be broken when:


	•	The Team Member quits or resigns;

	•	The Team Member is discharged for just cause;

	•	The Team Member fails without just cause to return to work on the day required to return from authorized leave; or

	•	The Team Member is absent due to a layoff for a period equal to the Team Member’s seniority or one (1) year, whichever is a lesser period of time, excluding seasonal layoffs.

No matching contributions will be made under the Plan on behalf of Bargaining Unit Members with respect to any salary reduction contributions under the Plan attributable to compensation paid for hours worked on or after October 17, 2003, and such compensation will not be included in compensation used to determine the limits on the amount of the matching contribution.

matching contribution that will equal, in the aggregate, the sum of (1) an amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, determined on October 22, 2003, of matching contributions allocated for 2003 to the Plan accounts of the Transition Match Eligible Team Members, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 41 and the denominator of which is 52, plus (2) the total amount, determined on October 22, 2003, of matching contributions allocated for 2003 to the Plan accounts of Bargaining Unit Members who were not Transition Match Eligible Team Members. This aggregate matching contribution amount will be allocated among the Plan accounts of the Transition Match Eligible Team Members in the same proportion that the total of each such Transition Match Eligible Team Member’s salary reduction contributions under the Plan (not exceeding six percent (6%) of compensation paid through October 22, 2003) made for 2003 through October 22, 2003, bears to the total of all salary reduction contributions (not exceeding six percent (6%) of compensation paid through October 22, 2003) made by all Transition Match Eligible Team Members under the Plan for 2003 through October 22, 2003.

MICHIGAN GAMING CONTROL BOARD

Under circumstances where the Michigan Gaming Control Board (“Board” or “MGCB”) acts to revoke, suspend or let expire a Team Member’s temporary or permanent gaming license, such action shall constitute an irrebuttable presumption of just cause for discharge and the Team Member can no longer be employed at Greektown Casino. If the Team Member appeals the Board’s action, Greektown Casino is not responsible for continuing to employ the Team Member during any stage of the appeal process.

However, if the Team Member satisfies his/her obligation to the Board and his/her license is reinstated within four (4) months of termination, the Employer will reemploy the Team Member in his/her former position or a comparable position in his/her classification for which the Team Member is qualified. In such circumstances, the Team Member will be credited with seniority accrued prior to termination. Nothing in this paragraph applies to a Team Member who fails to renew his/her license, in a timely manner.

24.02. If the Board’s action in revoking, suspending or letting expire a Team Member’s temporary or permanent gaming license is determined through the appeals process to be in error, under no circumstances will Greektown Casino be responsible for back pay, but will employ the Team Member in his/her former position, if available, or a comparable position in his/her classification for which the Team Member is qualified. In that circumstance, the Team Member would be credited with seniority accrued prior to termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board’s action is reversed through the appeals process and that action was initiated pursuant to bad faith on the part of the Employer, then the Employer shall be responsible for back pay, reinstatement to the Team Member’s former or a comparable position, and for making the Team Member whole with regard to seniority and vacation credit.

b. After investigation, Team Members determined to be responsible for variances or other violations of the internal control system, which may subject the Employer to liability pursuant to the Michigan Gaming Law, will be subject to discipline under Article 22 (Discipline Article).

ARTICLE 30

PROCEDURES FOR NEW JOB CLASSIFICATIONS

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and among Greektown Casino L.L.C. (hereinafter referred to as the “Employer”) and the Detroit Casino Council (hereinafter referred to as the “Council” or “DCC” (collectively, the parties”).

WHEREAS, the Employer is a signatory to a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the DCC that commenced October 17, 2007 and expires October 16, 2011 (the “CBA”) wherein the DCC is recognized as the exclusive Collective Bargaining representative for Team Members performing certain job functions in the Employer’s existing casino and related facilities in Detroit, Michigan;

WHEREAS, during the term of the CBA, the Employer expects to open a new permanent hotel and expanded casino, food and beverage, and related facilities in Detroit, Michigan (the “Permanent Facility”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish procedures for determining the terms and conditions for the Team Members who will be employed in those newly created non-supervisory job classifications needed to support the opening of the Permanent Facility which job classifications have historically been represented by the constituent DCC Unions (the “New Job Classifications”);

THEREFORE, the parties agree to follow the procedures set forth below to determine the terms and conditions for the established Job Classifications:

1. The Employer and the DCC will meet not later than six (6) months prior to the opening of the Permanent Facility to negotiate terms and conditions of employment for unionized Team Members working in the new facility that have not previously been agreed to.

2. If the parties have not reached agreement prior to four (4) months prior to the opening of the Permanent Facility the parties will select a three (3)

member panel of arbitrators (the “Panel”) to be available to determine any issues the parties have been unable to resolve in negotiations. The Panel will consist of one arbitrator selected by the Employer, one arbitrator selected by the DCC and one neutral arbitrator selected by the two arbitrators selected by the parties. The neutral arbitrator must reside in the State of Michigan and shall have substantial experience in the hotel industry and experience in interest arbitration. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the neutral arbitrator, the neutral arbitrator may be selected by the American Arbitration Association. After the Panel is selected, the parties and the Panel members will set tentative dates for hearing any unresolved issues. There shall be at least three (3) tentative dates which shall be not sooner than two (2)) months nor later than four (4) months prior to the opening of the hotel.

3. To expedite process, the parties may mutually agree on a single arbitrator.


a.		Hearing. The hearing will be conducted in a manner consistent with the Labor Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitrations Associations.

b.		Factors to be Considered by the Panel. In rendering the award, the Panel shall consider all facts, testimony, information presented at the hearing, the parties’ briefs and the following criteria:

	1.	Total benefits and compensation accrued for the benefit of or paid to covered Team Members, as compared to Team Members in comparable positions at other unionized hotel properties in the metropolitan Detroit area.

	2.	Total benefits and compensation accrued for the benefit of or paid to covered Team Members, as compared to Team Members in comparable positions at other unionized hotel-casino properties in the United States.

c.		Authority of the Panel. The Panel shall have the authority to render a decision only with respect to the issues left unresolved after the parties have bargained for at least two (2) months in the Second Step; the Panel shall have no authority to render a decision with respect to any other items. The Panel shall decide between the last, best and final proposals made by the Employer and the Union in negotiations on the unresolved items and may not compromise or combine any aspects of the proposals. The Panel shall consider the effect of any items the parties have previously agreed to, but shall not have the authority to modify same. The proposal selected by the Panel, plus the provisions previously agreed by the parties, shall be incorporated into the CBA. The


	Panel shall also have the authority to decide questions of timeliness and arbitrability. An award issued by the Panel shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be effective until a successor Collective Bargaining Agreement is negotiated. However, nothing in any award issued by the Panel shall limit or abridge any right retained by the Employer in the Management Rights Clause of the CBA.

The cost of arbitration shall be split evenly between the parties, fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the Employer and fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the DCC.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the renegotiation of the wage rates or other terms or conditions in the parties’ CBA.

This Agreement expires concurrently with the expiration of the parties’ CBA provided, however, that if Step 1 occurs prior thereto, then this Agreement shall remain in effect until the completion of the process herein described.

ARTICLE 31

POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

31.01. The Employer agrees to honor political contribution deduction authorizations from its Team Members, in the following form:

I hereby authorize the Employer to deduct from my pay the sum of $_________ per month and to forward that amount to the ___________________. This authorization is signed voluntarily and with the understanding that the __________ will use this money to make political contributions and expenditures in connection with Federal elections. I am aware of my right to refuse to sign this authorization without reprisal. This authorization may be revoked by mailing notices of revocation by United States Registered or Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to the Treasurer, __________________, and to the Employer.

31.02. The parties shall explore the feasibility under State law of implementing voluntary payroll deduction for political contributions for state and local elections. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such deductions are lawful, Section 31.01. above will be modified accordingly.

31.03. The political contribution deduction shall be made once each month during which a Team Member who has performed compensated service has in effect a voluntarily executed political contribution deduction authorization. The money shall be

remitted within thirty (30) days after the last day of the preceding month to the designated financial officer of the Union, accompanied by a form stating the name, social security number, and address of each Team Member for whom a deduction has been made, and the amount deducted.

31.04. The Union shall indemnify, defend and save the Employer harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits or other terms of liability that shall arise out of or by reason of action taken by the Employer in reliance upon payroll deduction authorization cards submitted to the Employer.

ARTICLE 32

SUBCONTRACTING

32.01. The Employer agrees it will not subcontract work being performed by members of the bargaining unit at any time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer shall have the right, so long as it does not result in the displacement of Team Members or any reduction of hours of work for Team Members to:

a. Enter into service maintenance agreements for the repair and/or maintenance of purchased or leased equipment, or to contract for the repair of the Employer’s property, buildings, or fixtures, to the extent such work cannot economically and expeditiously be performed by Team Members;

b. Contract for the renovation, reconstruction or restoration of the Employer’s property, buildings or fixtures;

c. Have work performed pursuant to warranty;

d. Enter into contracts for the purchase of prepared foods or baked goods.

e. Nothing contained in this Article shall preclude the Employer from contracting with third parties to lease and/or own and operate a signature or themed high-end or gourmet restaurant/entertainment enterprise. The Employer may enter into one (1) such contract provided that there are at least five (5) Employer operated food outlets in which bargaining unit work is performed by Team Members and so long as no fine dining outlet is permanently closed or has its hour and menu substantially curtailed as a result of such contract.

Nothing contained in this Article shall preclude the Employer from contracting with third parties to operate fast food outlets in the Employer’s facility.

32.02. Nothing contained in Paragraph 32.01. is intended to preclude the Employer from entering into any contract or arrangement with any third party to operate, own or manage a restaurant in the Employer’s facility in which bargaining unit work performed therein is performed by Greektown Team Members covered by the Agreement.

ARTICLE 33

NO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT

33.01. The Employer and the Union agree that excellent service and the enjoyment and entertainment of customers is an essential goal of Greektown Casino and its Team Members.

To that end, the parties agree that this labor Agreement provides for appropriate dispute resolution methods. Therefore, the Employer will not lock out Team Members during the term of this Agreement, nor will the Detroit Casino Council, the Unions that are part of the Council, or Team Members engage in or support any strike, sympathy strike, walk-out, sit-down, slowdown, or any other interference with the performance of work and the service of customers.

33.02. The Employer and the Union also agree that the Union and its members should be able, consistent with their obligations to customers and the Employer, to practice the values of Union solidarity and support. Therefore, the Employer agrees to use its best efforts to avoid placing the Union or its members in a position of violating those values, especially with regard to labor issues in the City of Detroit. This commitment by the Employer shall not be construed to dilute the Union’s obligations under this Article of this Agreement, nor shall this commitment be subject to arbitration. Upon request by either party, in order to carry out the intent of this paragraph, there shall be a meeting of the Presidents of the International Unions participating in the Detroit Casino Council and the President and COO of Greektown Casino.

ARTICLE 34

OWNERS AND SUCCESSORS

34.01. Ownership. This Agreement shall cover all Team Members employed in classifications listed in Exhibit 1 in casino operations within the jurisdiction of the Union, in the City of Detroit, Michigan, which during the term of this Agreement, are owned by,

operated by or substantially under the control of the Employer. The term “Employer” shall be deemed to include any person, firm, partnership, corporation, joint venture or other legal entity substantially under the control of the Employer covered by this Agreement, or a subsidiary of the Employer covered by this Agreement.

34.02. Obligations on Employer Selling or Assigning. In the event that the Employer sells or assigns its business or in the event that there is a material change in the form of ownership, the Employer shall give the Union reasonable advance notice thereof in writing and shall make all payments which are due or shall be due as of the date of transfer of the business for wages and benefits for Team Members covered by this Agreement. In addition, the Employer shall be responsible for accrued vacation payments for each Team Member covered by this Agreement. The Employer further agrees that as a condition to any such sale, assignment or transfer of ownership, the Employer will obtain from this successor or successors in interest a written assumption of this Agreement and furnish a copy thereof to the Union.

34.03. Obligations on Successor Employers. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. No provisions, terms or obligations herein contained shall be affected, modified, altered or changed in any respect whatsoever by the consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or assignment of the Employer’s interest, or any part thereof, in any establishment covered by this Agreement.

34.04. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to apply to investors or shareholders of the Employer who are not signatories to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 35

SAVINGS CLAUSE

35.01. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be rendered invalid by applicable legislation or be declared invalid by any court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction, such action shall not invalidate the entire Agreement, it being the express intention of the parties hereto that all other provisions not rendered invalid shall remain in full force and effect. Both parties agree that the subject matter of any provision found to be invalid shall be renegotiated.

TEAMSTERS CHECK-OFF AUTHORIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT


	APPLICATION AND NOTICE
	For Membership in Local Union No. ________
	Affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters

I voluntarily submit this Application for Membership in Local Union___________, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, so that I may fully participate in the activities of the Union. I understand that by becoming and remaining a member of the Union, I will be entitled to attend membership meetings, participate in the development of contract proposals for collective bargaining, vote to ratify or reject collective bargaining agreements, run for Union office or support candidates of my choice, receive Union publications and take advantage of programs available only to Union members. I understand that only as a member of the Union will I be able to determine the course the Union takes to represent me in negotiations to improve my wages, fringe benefits and working conditions. And, I understand that the Union’s strength and ability to represent my interests depends upon my exercising my right, as guaranteed by federal law, to join the Union and engage in collective activities with my fellow workers.

I understand that under the current law, I may elect “nonmember” status, and can satisfy any contractual obligation necessary to retain my employment by paying an amount equal to the uniform dues and initiation fee required of members of the Union. I also understand that if I elect not to become a member or remain a member, I may object to paying the pro-rata portion of regular Union dues or fees that are not germane to collective bargaining, contract administration and grievance adjustment, and I can request the Local Union to provide me with information concerning its most recent allocation of expenditures devoted to activities that are both germane and non-germane to its performance as the collective bargaining representative sufficient to enable me to decide whether or not to become an objector. I understand that nonmembers who choose to object to paying the pro-rata portion of regular Union dues or fees that are not germane to collective bargaining will be entitled to a reduction in fees based on the aforementioned allocation of expenditures, and will have the right to challenge the correctness of the allocation. The procedures for filing such challenges will be provided by my Local Union, upon request.

I have read and understand the options available to me and submit this application to be admitted as a member of the Local Union.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME

Upon ratification of this Agreement, current and active Team Members will receive one additional paid day off as a “ratification bonus” to be used in a manner consistent with the Employer’s Paid Personal/Sick Days policy as set forth in Article 5.03.

Team Members with “good attendance” for the duration of each contract year following ratification earn one (1) unpaid day off to be scheduled and used in the next contract year in the same way as a Paid Personal/Sick day. A Team Member will be considered to have “good attendance” if he/she receives three (3) points or less during the contract year. Calculation of good attendance shall begin with the ratification date of the Agreement and shall run for the period of the contract year. A new calculation will start each year on the anniversary date of ratification of this Agreement. During years subsequent to year one of the Agreement, the Company will not consider discipline issued in prior contract years in calculating good attendance.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME

(1) For purposes of calculating vacation and personal/sick time, the parties agree that a day shall mean 8 hours for purposes of pay. With respect to scheduling time off, the parties agree that Team Members who are normally scheduled to work a schedule other than 8 hours shall be paid for the hours normally scheduled (i.e., Team Member scheduled to work 6.5 hours would receive 6.5 hours for each vacation sick/personal day taken and Team Members scheduled to work 10 hours would receive 10 hours for each vacation or sick/personal day taken up to their vacation allotment). In the event a Team Member has less than the number of vacation and personal/sick time hours normally scheduled to work, the Team Member may elect to take pay in lieu, take the number of hours left during the shift, or take the entire shift off when utilizing the time.

(2) During negotiations the parties agreed to add to Article 5.01. “FMLA” hours shall be counted as eligible “hours” for purposes of satisfying the 1,800 hours requirement regarding the amount of paid vacation time allotted to Team Members per year. Currently, the Employer’s payroll system does not track FMLA as paid time, although a new system is being implemented. As a result the parties agree that the benefit granted will be implemented upon the payroll’s system ability to track paid FMLA hours versus unpaid hours. In the event that the new payroll system isn’t implemented by March 1, 2008, the Union will be so notified and alternative means of processing the benefit will be discussed. During the interim period Team Members who believe they have lost vacation time because of unpaid FMLA time granted after October 17, 2007, should present documentation to the Labor Relations Department for correction of the record.

(3) Employer will not unilaterally deduct from a Team Member’s personal/sick time bank unless requested by the Team Member.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME

The parties agree that they will discuss at Labor/Management meetings the issues of vacation scheduling opportunities and alternative work schedules, with the goal of resolving Team Member issues within the context of the Employer’s operational needs and business concerns.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

ARTICLE 22 – DISCIPLINE

The Employer reaffirms that a Team Member’s personnel file located in the Human Resources Department is the official personnel file.

Further, the Employer agrees to abide by the National Labor Relations Act as it relates to the production of information, including surveillance tapes.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

PART-TIME TEAM MEMBERS

The parties agree that they will discuss at Labor/Management meetings the fluctuating nature of business and the increasing need for part-time Team Members to maximize operational efficiencies and growing labor costs.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (hereinafter called the “Company”) and the Detroit Casino Council (hereinafter called the “Council”).

The parties hereby establish the following procedure for the purpose of ensuring an orderly environment for the exercise of employee rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act and to avoid picketing and/or other economic action directed at enterprises that are owned, managed, developed or controlled by the Company in the City of Detroit in the event the Council decides to conduct an organizing campaign at such enterprises.

The parties mutually recognize that national labor law guarantees employees the right to form or select any labor organization to act as the employees’ exclusive bargaining representative for the purpose of collective bargaining with the Company, or to refrain from such activity.

The Company will take a neutral approach to unionization of employees employed in classifications listed in Exhibit 1 of this Agreement. The Company will inform such employees that it has no objection to their selection of a collective bargaining agent. The Company will not take any action nor make any statement that will directly or indirectly state or imply to such employees any opposition by the Company to the selection by such employees of a collective bargaining agent, or preference for or opposition to any particular Union as a bargaining agent.

The Council and its representatives will not coerce or threaten any employee or make disparaging comments about the Company in an effort to obtain authorization cards.

Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from the Council, the Company will furnish the Council with the following information with respect to employees:


(1)	Name;

(2)	Current Address;

(3)	Current Department;

(4)	Current Job Classification.

Upon request, the Company will update the information monthly.

The Council or the appropriate member Union(s), if applicable, may request recognition as the exclusive bargaining agent for the employees in the traditional bargaining unit represented by the Council or the appropriate member Union(s), if applicable, in the casino, hotel and/or restaurant industry in Detroit, Michigan. A disinterested, neutral party mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Council will be selected to conduct a review of employees’ authorization cards and membership information submitted by the Council in support of its claim to represent a majority of the employees in the unit.

If a majority of employees in the traditional bargaining unit represented by the Council have joined the Council or designated it as their exclusive collective bargaining representative, and the Company’s new operation constitutes a stand-alone casino, the Company will recognize the Council as such representative of the employees and will extend to such employees the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Council and Greektown Casino together with any amendments agreed to by the parties. If, however, the Company’s new operation is not a stand-alone casino, but a hotel or restaurant facility, the Company will recognize the Council’s appropriate member Union(s) as such representative(s) of the Company’s employees at the new operation. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Council and Greektown Casino will not be automatically extended.

The Company will not file a petition with the National Labor Relations Board for any election in connection with any demands for recognition provided for in this Agreement.

During the life of this Agreement, the Council will not engage in picketing or other economic activity at any operation covered by this Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that this Memorandum of Agreement, which shall expire on October 16, 2011, shall be inapplicable to any enterprise of the Company outside of Detroit, Michigan.

The parties agree that any disputes over the interpretation or application of this Section shall be submitted to arbitration, with Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, or any other mutually acceptable person, as the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to determine the arbitration procedures to be followed. The arbitrator shall also have the authority to order the non-compliant party to comply with this Section. The parties hereto consent to the entry of any order of the arbitrator as the order or judgment of the United States District Court for the appropriate jurisdiction, without entry of findings of fact and conclusions of law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto by their duly designated representatives have hereunto set their hands this 1st day of November, 2003, in Xxxxx County, State of Michigan.

SIDE LETTER # 1

TEAM MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (“TMAP”)

The Employer and the Union hereby express their determination to work jointly to combat personal problems including substance abuse, problem gaming, and improving mental health among Team Members and their families.

Alcoholism and drug dependency are recognized by medical, public health authorities, Greektown and the Union as diseases. These diseases can impair Team Members’ abilities to function in their lives and on their jobs.

The causes of personal problems including alcoholism, drug dependency, problem gaming and mental health disorders are not well understood and cures are difficult. Nonetheless, Greektown and the Union believe that constructive measures are possible to deal with these problems, which can be a major cause of family breakdown and are related to personal breakdown and violence in the community.

It is important for the parties to this Agreement to:


	1.	Generate a climate in the workplace, which strives to minimize the effects of the social stigma associated with mental disorders, problem gaming, alcoholism, drug dependency, and other personal problems, which act as barriers to Team Members seeking help to resolve such personal problems.

	2.	Insist that the joint organization at all levels exercise their best efforts toward the objective of earlier identification and motivation of Team Members to take advantage of Team Member Assistance Program (“TMAP”) services.

	3.	Assure confidentiality in working with Team Members.

	4.	Assist in developing educational and informational materials to use at the workplace.

I.	Objectives.

The objectives of this joint effort are to help Team Members and their families develop healthier life styles and enhance the effectiveness of the workforce. Further, the purpose of the TMAP is designed to help prevent the development of personal problems and provide access for treatment and after care for those already affected.

Greektown and the Union acknowledge that neither Management nor the Union working alone can always provide the level of motivation required by Team Members experiencing personal problems. As a result, joint efforts are imperative in encouraging the individuals to seek TMAP services, as needed, to respond successfully to treatment and to maintain a resolve to avoid further personal problems.


II.	Guidelines.

An Advisory TMAP Team (“Team”) will be formed to facilitate the joint efforts. The Team will be comprised of five (5) representatives from Greektown and five (5) representatives from the Union. The Team will meet quarterly for the purpose of developing workplace education and to provide direction and consultation regarding the program. Team Members who participate in the Team are required to undergo forty (40) hours of training in the initial year of this Collective Bargaining Agreement and twenty-four (24) hours of training per year for the duration of the contract term. Team Members will be compensated straight time hourly rates for such training and for up to two (2) hours per quarter for Team meetings.


III.	Team Member Assistance Program Administration.

Among the responsibilities of the Team are to:


	1.	Help Team Members understand that they may consult on a confidential basis with the TMAP vendor concerning the Team Member’s problem.

	2.	Work with the TMAP vendor to establish and maintain active after care and follow-up programs. The Team should help Team Members understand the therapeutic benefits of self-help groups and encourage such participation.

IV.	Acknowledgment.

Greektown and the Union acknowledge that:

	1.	Nothing in this statement is to be interpreted as constituting any waiver of Management’s right to enforce discipline or discharge as set forth in Article 22 or the right to invoke disciplinary measures in the case of misconduct which may result from or be associated with the use of alcohol, drugs or personal problems. The Union may exercise its right to process grievances concerning such matters in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in Article 23.


	2.	During or following treatment the Team Member should not expect any special privileges or exemptions from standard personnel practices.

	3.	When a Team Member requests a leave of absence to undergo medical treatment for alcoholism, drug dependence, problem gaming or personal problems in or from an appropriate facility in accordance with this program, and when the Team Member has voluntarily submitted to such treatment, a leave of absence may be granted pursuant to Article 14 of this Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Team Member will be eligible for benefits in accordance with Article 14 (Leave of Absence).

	4.	A Team Member who is not working due to participation in TMAP services shall retain and accrue seniority and its related privileges in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the parties provided in Article 14 (Leave of Absence).

V.	Additional Understandings.

The following represents the understanding arrived at between the parties:

	1.	A key ingredient in combating personal problems lies in education, early identification and early intervention. Accordingly, the Team will consult with the TMAP vendor to develop a comprehensive education and training program directed at all levels of management, the Union, and the work force.

	2.	TMAP will maintain appropriate standards of performance measured against the objective models identified by the Team and the TMAP vendor.

	3.	TMAP will provide Critical Incident Response Service to Team Members and their families in the event of a serious or traumatic event in the work place or the community by being available to respond to the situation twenty-four (24) hours a day and seven (7) days a week.

VI.	Special TMAP Conditions of Employment.

The following guidelines will be considered for individual cases/circumstances and may be included as conditions of continued employment as agreed to by Management, the Union and the Team Member:

	1.	Participation in self-help meetings. Length of participation that will be required and frequency of meetings can be either specified


		in advance or left up to the discretion of the TMAP vendor/provider.

	2.	Mandatory completion of an aftercare plan, which might include antabuse, recommended by a treatment facility and monitored by the TMAP vendor.

	3.	Mandatory cooperation in follow-up and monitoring for a period of time specified by the TMAP vendor.

	4.	A specific period of total non-use of alcohol or other drugs can be agreed to between the parties. The parties must concur with this probationary period which is defined as not less than six (6) months nor more than two (2) years and it must be understood by all parties that resumed use could result in termination of employment.

	5.	Any conditions of continued employment agreed to by Management, the Union, and the Team Member are considered contractually binding and non-compliance could result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. The Team Member’s previous disciplinary record and action which may be taken for further misconduct will be reserved to the actual settlement of any dispute(s) involved and/or will be resolved between the Union and Human Relations.

VII.	Confidentiality.

All members of the Team must maintain the strictest confidentiality in participating in the activities of the TMAP Team.

VIII.	Michigan Gaming Control Board.

All provisions of this Side Letter are subject to the rules and regulations of the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

SIDE LETTER # 2

ARTICLE 10 – MEALS AND BREAKS

	(b)	New Game Types. When Greektown decides to introduce a new table game, the Labor Management Committee shall meet and confer regarding the assignment of the new game to a particular Game Type, as defined in 4. (a). After consultation with the Labor Management Committee, the Company has the authority to make the final decision regarding the assignment of the new game to a particular Game Type.

5.	Training For Initial Game Type. The Company may provide training to qualified candidates from inside and outside the Company at no charge. Training classes are offered on an as-needed basis, by seniority and shift, as determined by the Company. Training time is unpaid.

113


(a)	Selection for Initial Game Type Training.

	(1)	In-house Candidates. In-house applications are accepted for initial Game Type training on a first-come first-served basis. House seniority is used to select training class members in the event that more applications are received than openings in a training class. In-house applicants must meet the Company’s internal policy requirements for a position transfer, and successfully complete a mathematical aptitude test and departmental interview. If a transferee moves into a position requiring an initial or different MGCB license, the applicant must satisfy the licensing requirements of the MGCB.

	(2)	Outside Candidates. Outside candidates must meet the Company’s recruiting requirements (including drug testing and background checks), and successfully complete a mathematical aptitude test. Outside candidates must also satisfy the licensing requirements of the MGCB.

(b)	Determining Proficiency in Initial Game Type. Once a candidate has successfully completed the initial Game Type training and is transferred or hired into the Dealer Trainee classification, the Dealer Trainee is scheduled on the game for which he or she has been trained. Supervisors coach and assist Dealer Trainees to become proficient. Supervisors communicate with Casino Management regarding the progress of the Dealer Trainees.

	(1)	Informal evaluation. Informal evaluation of Dealer Trainees is periodic and at the Company’s discretion. At any time during the 1000-hour training period for an Initial Game Type, a Supervisor may determine that a Dealer Trainee is not improving in skill and level of proficiency, and is therefore posing a risk to the Company. The Supervisor communicates with Casino Management who observes the Dealer Trainee live or through a videotape review. If Casino Management determines that the Dealer Trainee poses a risk to Company operations and does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency, the Dealer Trainee may either be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is

114


			subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below.

		(2)	Formal Evaluation. Formal evaluation of Dealer Trainees is completed at three intervals: two Intermediate Evaluations and a Final Evaluation shortly after a Dealer Trainee has completed 1000 hours of dealing a particular Game Type. The two Intermediate Evaluations are corrective and coaching in nature. However, either of the Intermediate Evaluations may form the basis upon which the Company determines that a Dealer Trainee does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency. The Dealer Trainee may either be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below.

		(3)	Final Evaluation. The Final Evaluation forms the basis upon which the Company determines whether or not the Dealer Trainee meets the required proficiency level. If the proficiency requirements are met, then the Dealer Trainee is advanced to the Dealer I classification. If the requirements are not met, the Dealer Trainee will be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below.

		(4)	If a Dealer Trainee who transferred from another Greektown Casino job classification (a “Transferee”) notifies the Company during the initial 30-day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience that he/she desires to transfer back to his/her prior job classification, the Transferee shall be transferred back to that job classification (thereby causing the displacement of the individual in that job classification with the lowest seniority). If the Company determines pursuant to subparagraph (1), (2) or (3) above that a Transferee should be reassigned or terminated then (i) if the determination is made during the initial 30-day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience, the Transferee shall be transferred back to his/her prior job classification (thereby displacing the individual in that classification with the lowest seniority), and (ii) if the determination is made after that initial 30-day period but

115


			prior to expiration of the initial 90 day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience, then the Transferee will not be transferred back to his/her prior job classification but may apply for any vacant Greektown Casino job position for which he/she is qualified and will have recall rights to his/her former job classification for one year or the time period he/she was in that former job classification, whichever period is shorter.

6.	Training for Subsequent Game Types. This Section applies to Dealers who have attained the Dealer I classification or higher. Dealers may apply for training for any game for which the company offers training. (A dealer who applies for training and then does not complete the training will not be eligible to re-apply for any Dealer training for the one-year period commencing on the date his/her training class commenced.) Training is unpaid by the Employer.

	(a)	Selection for Subsequent Game Type Training. Department Seniority is used to select training class members. Department Seniority is defined as the date that a Team Member was hired or transferred into the Table Games Department. The last four digits of the Social Security Number, the lower number being the most senior, established Department Seniority for Team Members with the same hire or transfer date. The opportunity to learn a subsequent Game Type is only offered to Dealers in good standing with the Company. Good standing is defined as having no formal discipline for one year (or the period of time for which the Dealer has worked for the Company if between six months and one year, but not less than six months) and having an attendance record acceptable to the Company.

	(b)	Scheduling Subsequent Game Type Training. The Company will make a reasonable effort to schedule subsequent Game Type trainees in their new games so they may improve their skills and achieve the required levels of proficiency. However, the Company reserves the right to schedule work to accommodate sick calls and leaves of absence and to ensure that the maximum number and optimum mix of table games are open at all times.

	(c)	Determining Proficiency in Subsequent Game Types.

		(1)	Informal Evaluation. Informal evaluation of subsequent Game Type trainees is periodic and at the Company’s discretion. At any time during the 300-hour training period for subsequent Game Types, a Supervisor may

116


			determine that a Dealer is not improving in skill and level of proficiency, and is posing a risk to the Company. The Supervisor communicates with Casino Management who observes the Dealer live or through videotape review. If Casino Management determines that the Dealer poses a risk to Company operations and does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency in the subsequent Game Type, the Dealer will be removed from the schedule for such subsequent Game Type assignments. The Dealer will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken.

		(2)	Formal Evaluation. Formal evaluation of subsequent Game Type trainees is completed at two intervals: an Intermediate Evaluation and a Final Evaluation shortly after the Dealer has completed 300 hours of dealing a subsequent Game Type. The Intermediate Evaluation is corrective and coaching in nature. However, the Intermediate Evaluation may form the basis upon which the Company determines that a subsequent Game Type Trainee does not show the aptitude necessary to continue and is removed from the schedule for such subsequent Game Type assignments. The Dealer will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken.

		(3)	Final Evaluation. The Final Evaluation forms the basis upon which the Company determines whether or not the subsequent Game Type Trainee meets the required proficiency level. If the proficiency requirements are met, then the Dealer is advanced to the appropriate classification. If the requirements are not met, the subsequent Game Type Trainee will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken.

7.	Vacancies on Shifts. Vacancies on shifts will be posted periodically. “Qualified Dealers” may bid for vacant shifts. “Qualified Dealers” are dealers who have met the Proficiency Requirements and Experiential Requirements for all games listed in the applicable posting. Positions will be awarded on the basis of Department Seniority.
