SERVICE TRADES COUNCIL UNION AGREEMENT
FOR REGULAR FULL TIME EMPLOYEES
Effective September 24, 2017 to October 22, 2022
ARTICLE 1 - PREAMBLE
THIS AGREEMENT entered into 24th day of September 2017, by and between Walt Disney

have, through its duly authorized officers, executed this Agreement, hereinafter called “UNION”.
ARTICLE 2 - PURPOSE
WHEREAS, the operation and service of the Company's Walt Disney World Resort requires a
large number of employees, and the orderly and uninterrupted operation of Walt Disney World Resort is
of significant interest to the economy of the State of Florida and of the mutual interest of the parties
hereto, and it is the purpose of this Agreement that all work shall proceed efficiently, without interruption,
and with due consideration for the protection of labor standards, wages and working conditions; and
WHEREAS, employees have the right to organize and bargain through representatives of their
own choice;
THEREFORE, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement to recognize the Union to

Management peace is maintained and employees are guaranteed Union rights and protection as
provided by this Agreement.

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 hire, determine qualifications, select, direct, supervise,
and control the manner, means and details by which employees perform their work duties as well as the
ends to be accomplished; to determine the size of the workforce, including the number of employees
assigned to any particular classification of work; the ability to create, add, amend, and/or rescind any or
all employee discounts, complimentary admission, Main Entrance Passes, recognition awards,
celebrations and similar type privileges and perks as long as uniformly applied on the same basis to all
Walt Disney World employees of the Company, including non-bargaining unit and salaried employees; to
operate the business including both establishing and making changes to the direction, promotion,
transferring of employees, and hours of operations; to subcontract work, to establish and change work
schedules and assignments; to lay off, 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; determine the location and relocation of any Employer facilities and to alter, suspend and/or
discontinue conduct of its business or operations in whole or part, to institute technological changes;
including but not limited to, work automation processes; to determine the appropriate equipment,
supplies, methods and otherwise to take such measures as Management may determine to be necessary
to the orderly, efficient and economical operation of the business. Any dispute arising out of an
interpretation of this Article will be subject to the provisions of Article 19.
3
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 29.
Should such discontinuation/sale/lease affect any positions covered by this Agreement, the
Company will provide the Union with at least a sixty (60) day 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 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 take 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 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 Union parties hereto and any concessionaire operating in Walt Disney
World Resort 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
4
concerned shall not affect the operation of the Company or concessionaires who are not involved in the
dispute.
SECTION 5. EXPEDITED ARBITRATION FOR ARTICLE 6
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

Time employees who convert to Regular Full Time status. The names and work locations of individuals
or small groups who convert to regular Full Time status will be made available to the Union on a monthly

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.

should be out of the guest area, but reasonably accessible to the work location.

Shop Steward, the Company will notify the Affiliate Union Designee in advance of the lay-off or discharge.
Failure of the Union to provide the Company with an up-to-date listing of Stewards will relieve the
Company's obligation of notification.
(d) A Shop Steward or Alternate will accompany representatives of Management whenever

disciplinary action, up to and including termination, based on the nature of the allegations and/or
information available to the Company regarding the circumstances. Disciplinary action taken by the
Company shall be subject to the Grievance Procedure with the exception of probationary period
terminations. An employee on administrative leave will continue to accrue seniority.

employee shall be granted medical leaves of absence that total more than fifteen (15) months in any
twenty-four (24) month period.
ARTICLE 18 - 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. Upon request of the employee,
Management will provide a copy of the employee’s record card within a reasonable amount of time. At
the time that it is printed, the record card may not contain all recent entries. Any questions concerning
the record card should be addressed to the employee’s immediate Manager.
SECTION 2. UNION REPRESENTATION
The employee has the right to the presence and advice of their 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. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE
In any formal questioning by the Company that could lead to disciplinary action, at the request of
the employee, language assistance shall be provided by a bargaining unit employee (who may or may not
be a Shop Steward), another non-supervisory employee, or a third party provider. Any delay in
interviewing or effectuating discipline as a result of the need for such language assistance shall not affect
the timeliness of any grievance or discipline.
SECTION 5. 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 5(c) below; or
(4) Termination in accordance with Section 7 below.

paid at the appropriate non-tipped rate of pay as referenced in Addendum A for all lost time due to an

determination based on the factors in Section 1.

Reprimands will be issued in writing on a specific subject or subjects and will be signed by the
Supervisor who will present it and discuss it with the employee. Reprimands will be presented and
discussed within fifteen (15) calendar days after the occurrence, or within fifteen (15) days after the
immediate Supervisor has had a reasonable opportunity to become aware of and complete an
investigation of the occurrence, whichever is later, unless prevented by the absence of the employee or
extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the Company. These time limits shall not apply to
discipline based on attendance, clocking or discipline as a result of a Company Equal Employment
Opportunity and Harassment Policy investigation. An employee will sign the reprimand, not in admission
of the offense, but in acknowledgment that a copy of the reprimand has been received by the employee.
The Company shall make copies of written reprimands available to the Union. Reprimands, other than
Absenteeism/Tardiness and Clock In/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) The twelve (12) month period referenced in (b) (2) is defined as a continuous

restricted to same or similar offenses but may include different offenses on a
cumulative basis.

excluded from the disciplinary point system defined in this Section. Refer to
Sections 8 and 9.

termination. The parties recognize, however, that the use of a suspension is not a mandatory component
of the disciplinary progression.
(d) The Company will electronically provide a list of all employees discharged and the reasons
for such discharge to the appropriate affiliate Unions on a monthly basis.
SECTION 7. DISCHARGE
An employee may be discharged for just cause, which includes, but is not limited to the following:

While it has never been the position of the Company to legislate behavior during off-duty hours, the Company does
reserve the right to administer appropriate disciplinary action when flagrant actions take place on Company property
by employees outside their scheduled work hours. It is understood by both parties that in the event of extremely
serious infractions of this nature requiring discharge, subsection(s) (f) and/or (h) of the above referenced Article will

excluding any leaves of absence.

habitually loses possession of or damages his/her ID card.

SECTION 10. OPERATION OF COMPANY VEHICLES
(a) The parties recognize the Company’s obligation to provide a safe means of
transportation to its guests and Cast Members.
(b) For job classifications requiring a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with Department
of Transportation (DOT) responsibilities, it is the responsibility of each individual Cast
Member to notify Management immediately and/or prior to the start of his/her next shift,

Manager, then the grievance shall be reduced to writing upon the accepted Grievance Form which shall
set forth the relevant information concerning the grievance, including a short description of the alleged
grievance, the date on which the grievance occurred, and an identification of the section of the
Agreement alleged to have been violated.
In order to be deemed timely, a grievance must be filed at Step 1 within fourteen (14) calendar

Union and Labor Relations in an effort to resolve the grievance. Such meeting shall occur within fourteen
(14) calendar days of the appeal, unless extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the Union.
Step 4. If the grievance shall have been submitted but not adjusted under Step 3, either party

to strike the panel or mutually agree to an Arbitrator. The Rules for the FMCS shall govern the selection
of an Arbitrator and the conduct of the arbitration hearing. The parties and the Arbitrator will enter into an
agreement regarding the terms of the Arbitrator’s engagement including but not limited to the submission
of post hearing briefs and the form and time period for delivery of the Arbitrator’s decision. If the Union

agreement will require a written award from the Arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the submission of post-
hearing briefs for grievances arising under Step 3(A) or within thirty (30) days of the hearing with no
written briefs submitted for grievances arising under Step 3(B). Unless agreed upon in writing by both
parties, the Arbitration hearing must be scheduled to occur within thirty (30) days from selection of the
Arbitrator. 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 Decision of the Arbitrator shall be
final and binding on all parties with no further appeal, except for reasons of setting aside an Arbitrator’s
Award, as set forth in applicable Federal and Florida Statutes. Any joint expense incidental to or arising
out of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the Company and the appropriate Union. Only one

SECTION 5. VACATION ACCRUAL
Employees shall not accumulate more than two (2) times their current annual vacation hours. For
example, if an employee is currently accruing 80 hours of vacation, he/she may accumulate a maximum
of 160 hours of vacation; if currently accruing 120 hours of vacation, he/she may accumulate a maximum
of 240 hours of vacation; and if currently accruing 160 hours of vacation, he/she may accumulate a
maximum of 320 hours of vacation.
When the vacation cap is reached (two (2) times their current annual vacation hours), an
employee will cease to accrue any additional vacation time until vacation hours are taken. An employee
will again begin to accrue vacation only after he/she is below his/her cap. Vacation accrual is not
retroactive to the date on which the accrual ceased.
SECTION 6. PAYMENT FOR ACCRUED VACATION
Upon the request of an eligible employee, the Company shall provide payment of up to one half
(1/2) of an employee's total accrued available vacation to a maximum of eighty (80) hours on an annual
basis (by calendar year). Amounts paid are subject to all required withholdings. Payment should
normally be issued within two (2) weeks of the request being received by Payroll.
SECTION 7. VACATION SCHEDULING
(a) Due to the nature of the Company's operations and requirement for specified skills, vacations
will be scheduled by the Company. Where a time period has previously been blocked out and
circumstances change such that the time period becomes available, employees requesting vacation for
that time period will be considered on a seniority basis. Consideration will be given to requested time by
the employee whenever possible. The employees with greater length of service will be given preference
in the event of a conflict of dates affecting two (2) or more employees.
(b) Pre-approved vacation requests will be considered by seniority for each job classification
within the scheduling group. The availability of particular time frames will be determined by Management
based on the needs of the business. The pre-approved vacation request and approval process will be
administered at a minimum of once per year by seniority via electronic proxy. Where in person bids are
37
utilized, there will be a Shop Steward present for the bid. Where in person bids are not utilized a Shop
Steward will have the opportunity to review bid results for each scheduling group prior to implementation.

(b) Retiree Health Benefits
The Walt Disney World Co. and Associated Companies' Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”)
provides for health benefits for certain retired employees. Any employee with an original hire date after
October 29, 1994, will not be eligible for Retiree Health Benefits. Any employee with a rehire date after
October 29, 1994, also will not be eligible for Retiree Health Benefits, except in very limited
circumstances provided below.
Any employee hired prior to October 30, 1994, will be eligible for Retiree Health Benefits
commencing at age 65, if he/she meets the Service Criterion and retires on or after age 55. The Service
Criterion is twenty (20) credited years of service and 30,000 credited hours of service earned under the
Retirement Plan (or under the Disney Salaried Retirement Plan, The Disneyland and Associated
Companies’ Retirement Plan, or The Walt Disney Productions and Associated Companies’ Retirement
Plan). In order to be eligible for Retiree Health Benefits, an employee must also be at least age 55 and
actually employed by the Company at the time he/she terminates his/her employment with eligibility for
either early or normal retirement under the Plan. The age 55 requirement will not apply to an employee
whose termination of employment occurs on account of death or who terminated employment on account
of a disability, which entitles him/her to disability benefits under the Social Security Act. The Retiree
Health Benefits provided will be those provided on the same basis as current active employees. Retiree
Health Benefits will also be provided to the retiree's or deceased employee's eligible dependents in
accordance with the health plan's rules.
An employee who is at least age 60 prior to October 30, 1994, and completes the Service
Criterion thereafter, will receive his/her Retiree Health Benefits commencing at the later age of 62 or at
the time he/she elects to take either early or normal retirement under the Retirement Plan. An employee
who met the Service Criterion prior to October 30, 1994, will also receive his/her Retiree Health Benefits
commencing at the later age of 62 or at the time he/she elects to take either early or normal retirement
under the Retirement Plan, provided that such an eligible employee who is under age 60 on October 30,
1994, must terminate employment with the Company before February 28, 1995. Any employee covered
by this paragraph who is rehired on or after February 28, 1995, and prior to his/her 55th birthday, will not
be entitled to Retiree Health Benefits pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. Eligibility, if any, for
41
the Retiree Health Benefits will be dependent upon fulfilling the requirements of the second paragraph of
the Section, subject to the rehire provisions of the following paragraph. Any employee covered by this
paragraph who is rehired on or after his/her 55th birthday will remain entitled to Retiree Health Benefits,
under the provisions of this paragraph upon his/her subsequent retirement.
In general, any employee who terminates employment with the Company and is rehired on or
after October 30, 1994, will not be eligible for Retiree Health Benefits upon subsequent retirement.
However, a rehire date which occurs on or after October 30, 1994, will be ignored for purposes of the
preceding rule, if the employee satisfies the requirements of Subsection (1) below and the requirements
of either Subsection (2) or Subsection (3) below.
(a) The employee has completed the Service Criterion prior to his/her rehire date; and,
(b) The employee has reached his/her 55th birthday prior to or coincidental with his/her rehire
date; or,
(c) The employee fulfilled all of the following conditions:
(1) The employee has only one rehire date which occurs on or after October 30,
1994, and prior to his/her 55th birthday.
(2) The employee's period of termination of employment immediately prior to the
rehire date is less than 366 days.
(3) The employee's period of re-employment following his/her rehire date is at least
365 consecutive days during which he/she is credited with at least 750 Hours of
Service under the Retirement Plan.
For purposes of the above rehire rules, an employee shall not be deemed to have a termination
of employment and shall not be deemed to have a rehire date that occurs on or after October 30, 1994, if
the employee's termination of employment is on account of a disability defined in the Retirement Plan and
the employee returns to employment upon recovery from the disability, or if the employee is laid-off and
recalled within twelve (12) months of the layoff. In such cases and for the purposes of this Section, such
employee shall be treated as if there was no interruption in the continuity of employment. However, a
layoff in excess of twelve (12) months is deemed a termination of employment as of the first day of layoff.
SECTION 2. GROUP INSURANCE
(a) During the term of this Agreement, the Company will offer Group Insurance coverage and
Signature Plan coverage to all eligible employees, on the same basis as provided to non-bargaining unit
employees (including salaried employees) at the Company. It is understood that all employees in this unit
who participate in any Company sponsored plan(s) do so on the same basis as non-bargaining unit
employees (including salaried employees) generally and that, therefore, future changes in such plans
which are applicable to non-bargaining unit employees (including salaried employees) generally shall
apply equally and automatically to employees covered under this Agreement. By way of example, but not
limitation, changes in such plan(s) may include termination in accordance with the plan terms, substitution
of, or merger with, another plan or part thereof, improvements and modifications in the plan(s), creation of
new plan(s), adjustment in contributions, etc...; all subject to the condition that where the changes apply
equally to non-bargaining unit employees (including salaried employees) generally, the Company will not
be obligated to bargain with the Union. Entitlement to pension and group insurance benefits shall be
determined exclusively by the plan terms and not by arbitration under this Agreement.
Both the Union and the Company acknowledge and agree that in order to comply with the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, the health care coverage offered by the Company to its employees
may need to change to ensure compliance. These potential changes need not be negotiated between
the parties provided any changes are universally applicable to all participants in any Company-sponsored
plan(s) on the same basis as non-bargaining unit employees (including salaried employees).
42
(b) Employee contribution rates for all group medical plans and tiers will be the same as or less
than the contribution rates set by the Company for salaried employees.
Effective 1/1/19 weekly employee contribution rates for the HMO shall not be increased by greater
than the following amounts over the 2018 contribution rates:
Employee Only
Employee + Spouse
Employee + Children
Employee + Family
$3.00 per week
$10.00 per week
$5.00 per week

Employee Only

Employee + Children
Employee + Family
$3.00 per week
$10.00 per week
$5.00 per week
$12.00 per week
(c) Eligible employees shall be defined as employees whose employment status is Regular
Full Time. Eligible employee’s coverage shall become effective no later than the first day of the month
following completion of ninety (90) days continuous service.
SECTION 3. SICK LEAVE
(a) Regular Full Time employees shall receive sick leave based on the number of hours (straight
time and overtime hours exclusive of the overtime premium) up to a maximum of 1800 hours worked from
the date of hire to the end of the calendar year in which hired and for each succeeding calendar year
thereafter. Sick leave earned in the first calendar year of service may not be used until nine (9) months of
continuous service have elapsed from the date of hire and in no event prior to the beginning of the
calendar year following the year in which employed. With reasonable notice, Regular Full Time
employees may request the use of six (6) days sick leave per calendar year as personal leave days.
Requests will be granted consistent with operational requirements.
(b) The following formula shall apply for the accumulation of paid sick leave hours each calendar
year:
Calendar year Earned sick
hours worked leave hours
1800 48
1500 40
1200 32
900 24
600 16
300 8
The maximum amount of sick leave that may be earned in one (1) calendar year is forty-eight (48)
hours. Unused sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of 200 work hours; any excess over this
amount will be given to the employee in the form of an automatic payout at the end of the calendar year.
43
Accrued available sick leave in excess of ninety-six (96) hours will be paid upon the request of an eligible
employee. Requests for payment will be accepted on an annual basis (by calendar year). Amounts paid
are subject to all required withholdings. At the beginning of each calendar year, after an employee has
completed the eligibility requirement, sick leave shall be made available for his/her use during that
calendar year based on the above noted hour formula in the prior calendar year. Sick leave shall be paid
at the rate of pay in effect at the time sick leave is requested by the employee. In order to be paid sick
leave, the employee must file a request for payment. This must be done within three (3) days after the
employee returns to work. In the event that three (3) or more consecutive scheduled shifts of sick leave
are applied for, the Company may request a written statement from a physician certifying as to the nature
and length of employee's illness. However, the Company may require proof of illness in any case if
desired and an employee not furnishing such proof will not be entitled to sick leave pay. Employees will
not be entitled to sick leave during vacation or on days on which they are not scheduled to work. In the
event the employee incurs a non-occupational illness while at work and is released from the completion of
his/her scheduled shift by the Medical Department, the employee may apply for sick leave covering the
unworked balance of that shift in amounts of one (1) hour. An employee who reports for work after the
start of his/her scheduled shift due to personal illness shall not be entitled to apply for sick leave pay
covering the period between the start of his/her scheduled shift and the time the employee actually
started to work.
(c) Employees who voluntarily terminate and who do not fall in the categories of drunkenness,
dishonesty, or illegal use or possession of controlled substances will be paid 100% of earned sick leave
and one half (1/2) of accrued sick leave. Terminations for the three (3) categories listed above will be paid
50% of all earned and none of the accrued.
(d) Those employees in tipped classifications will have sick leave benefits paid at the appropriate
non-tipped rate of pay as referenced in Addendum A.
ARTICLE 24 - COSTUMES, UNIFORMS, AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE
SECTION 1. COSTUMES AND WORK UNIFORMS
If the Company requires an employee to wear a uniform or costume, it will be furnished at the
Company's expense. Shoes shall be furnished at the employee's cost even if uniformity is required,
provided they are generally accepted as street wear.
SECTION 2. SAFETY AND SANITARY CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
Where the Company, for safety purposes, requires the use of protective clothing, shoes, or other
safety devices, other than hair nets and headbands, they will be furnished without cost to the employees.
The Union agrees to require Regular Full Time employees in those classifications listed in Addendum A
to use the devices furnished.
SECTION 3. LAUNDRY AND CLEANING OF CLOTHING PAID BY COMPANY
The cost of cleaning or laundering the clothing furnished under this Article shall be paid by the
Company. Such clothing and other equipment will at all times remain the property of the Company and
the employee who is issued any of these items will be fully responsible for seeing that they are properly
cared for.
SECTION 4. PENALTY FOR LOST CLOTHING OR MISUSE OF CLOTHING AND LOST
LOCKER KEYS
Each employee will be required to sign an authorization for the Company to deduct from wages
the amount of money necessary to replace the employee's company furnished uniform in the event the
uniform is not returned when required, or is defaced or is willfully damaged. An unreturned or lost locker
key will result in a wage deduction in the amount necessary to replace the lock on an employee's locker.
An employee who willfully defaces, destroys or misuses a company furnished uniform is subject to
disciplinary action, including dismissal.
44
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.
SECTION 6. FURNISHED CLOTHING NOT TO BE WORN OFF WALT DISNEY WORLD
PREMISES
Company furnished clothing is not to be worn off Walt Disney World Resort premises outside of
employee's working hours without permission.
SECTION 7. UNION INSIGNIA

Union, supporting the STCU in non-public areas of the Walt Disney World Resort provided that the pin is
no larger than a quarter in size. Employees must remove the pin for scheduled tours in such areas.
ARTICLE 25 - SAFETY AND HEALTH
SECTION 1. COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY
The Company will continue to make reasonable provisions for the safety and health of its
employees during the hours of their employment. The Company agrees that it will furnish and maintain
sanitary toilet facilities, washrooms, lockers and changing quarters for all employees covered by this
Agreement.
SECTION 2. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY
All employees shall obey the Company's safety and health rules.
SECTION 3. COMPANY UNION COOPERATION
(a) The Company and the Union shall cooperate to further the goal of maintaining safe and
sanitary working conditions. The Company may hold safety meetings with required attendance by every
employee covered by this Agreement, on work time, as a means of improving safety and educating
employees in safe practices. A Union Representative may attend such meetings.
(b) The Company and the Union recognize the importance of a safe and violence free work
environment. In this regard, both parties agree to work cooperatively to prevent and address potential
work place violence issues.
SECTION 4. EXAMINATIONS
(a) The Company and the Union acknowledge that the provisions of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as well as parallel state legislation, apply to employees working 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.
(b) Applicants for employment with the Company may be required to undertake a post-offer,
conditional-employment medical examination. Examinations will be conducted by a licensed physician
designated and paid for by the Company.
(c) Employees may be required by the Company to submit to a medical or psychological
examination at the Company's expense in the following situations:
(1) When the Company needs to determine whether an employee is able to perform the
essential functions of a position with or without accommodation and/or whether the
employee can perform the essential functions of a position, with or without reasonable
accommodation, without directly threatening his/her health or safety or that of others;
45
(2) When the Company concludes that it must determine whether reasonable
accommodation is required or where an employee has requested accommodation,
including the nature and extent of such accommodation;
(3) When the Company concludes it must acquire medical advice to determine whether a
local, state, or federal health or safety standard can be satisfied;
(4) When the Company is obligated by law to assess, monitor and/or maintain a record
of an employee's health status.
(5) Upon an employee’s request, an employee shall be provided an opportunity to visit
Health Services on the day of his/her injury and on paid time.
(d) Pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company reserves the right to require an employee to
undergo an examination by a licensed physician or certified health care provider designated by the
Company at the Company's request. If the employee disagrees with the medical opinion of the
Company-designated physician or certified health care provider, the employee may select, at his/her
expense, a physician or appropriate certified health care provider to conduct the Company-required
medical or psychological examination. The results of that examination must be submitted to the
Company-designated physician for concurrence. In the event the two (2) physicians cannot agree, the
Company and the employee shall select a third physician from a panel of three (3) physicians supplied by
the Company. The cost of the third physician will be paid by the Company.
(e) Employees whom the Company determines are not able to perform the essential functions of
a position, with or without reasonable accommodation, or who pose a direct threat that cannot be
reasonably accommodated will be considered for reassignment to vacant positions for which they meet
the minimum qualifications. The Company shall not be required to create “Transitional Duty” positions for
permanently disabled employees. In those instances where reassignment or other reasonable
accommodation is not available, the employee may be terminated or placed on an appropriate leave of
absence.
(f) Employees enrolled in the Transitional Duty Program shall continue to be covered by the
provisions of this Agreement.
(g) An employee's rights to disability, workers' compensation, or other benefits which are
administered independently of this Agreement shall be determined exclusively by the plan terms and laws
governing those benefits and not by arbitration under this Agreement.
SECTION 5. IMMINENT DANGER
No employee shall be compelled to perform work or operate equipment that poses an imminent
danger to life or serious physical harm to himself/herself.
ARTICLE 26 - WORK BY SUPERVISORS
It is recognized that the duties of a Supervisor are, as the designation implies, largely of a
supervisory nature. Accordingly, Supervisors shall not perform work such as that performed by the
employees as herein defined, except:
(a) For emergency purposes.
(b) In the instruction and training of employees or Supervisors.
(c) Work of an experimental nature.
(d) Testing materials and production.
(e) Start up and closing down of operations.
46
(f) To protect Company property and/or to ensure the safety of guests and/or employees.
(g) To provide uninterrupted services in order to ensure a positive guest and/or employee
experience.
Work by Supervisors as described by the provisions of this Article is not intended as a means by
which the Company may eliminate any bargaining unit position(s) or shift(s). In the event the Union
believes that the provisions of this Article have been violated, the Union may request an immediate
meeting to resolve the matter with the appropriate representative of Management and the Labor Relations
Executive or their designee. All grievances arising over an alleged violation shall be subject to the
provision of Article 19 – Grievance Procedure.
ARTICLE 27 EMERGENCY WORK AND RUNNING REPAIRS
BY EMPLOYEES
SECTION 1. EMERGENCY WORK
Any employee may be requested to perform emergency work, which includes any situation
endangering other persons or which might result in property damage.
SECTION 2. RUNNING REPAIRS
Running repairs may be performed by operating personnel covered by this Agreement, or by
personnel regularly assigned to the department where the need for such repairs occurs. Running repairs
are generally defined as minor maintenance repairs or adjustments which can be done without a
cessation of normal operations, or where such repairs or adjustments can restore such equipment or unit
to operation without an extended shut down.
ARTICLE 28 - BULLETIN BOARDS
The Company shall provide bulletin boards in all areas which are frequented by employees for
the posting of official Union notices and a list thereof. The minimum size of the bulletin board will be 2
high by 3’ wide for single bulletin boards and 3’ high by 4’ wide for double boards. The board shall be
covered with glass and under lock and free of obstructions. A master key shall remain in the possession
of a Department Head with copies provided to each affiliate Union of the Service Trades Council. These
boards shall be used for the display of the following notices: Union meetings, Union appointments, Union
elections and official Union social affairs and any Company issued information. The Union agrees not to
post material of a derogatory nature regarding the Company or its personnel. It is agreed that no Union
matter of any kind shall be posted in and about the premises of Walt Disney World Resort except on said
Boards. It is agreed by the Union and Management that it is the responsibility of each employee to be
knowledgeable of notices posted. All such Union notices shall bear a posting and a removal date.
ARTICLE 29 - SUBCONTRACTING
During the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it will not subcontract work for the
purpose of evading its obligations under this Agreement. However, it is understood and agreed that the
Company shall have the right to subcontract in the following instances and will give notice of such
subcontracting to the Union when possible:
(a) Where some work is required to be sublet to maintain a legitimate manufacturer's warranty; or
(b) Where the subcontracting of work will not result in the termination or layoff, or the failure to
recall from layoff, any Regular Full Time employee qualified and classified to do the work; or
(c) Where the employees of the Company lack the skills or qualifications or the Company does
not possess the requisite equipment for carrying out the work; or where
(d) Because of size, complexity or time of completion, it is impractical or uneconomical to do the
work with Company equipment and personnel.
47
ARTICLE 30 - INTERPRETATION
The parties hereto may interpret, alter or amend this Agreement by mutual action in writing, and
no individual employee shall have cause to complain therefore, it being understood that any interpretation
or arrangement mutually satisfactory to the parties hereto shall be binding upon all individual employees,
whether such action be prospective or retroactive.
ARTICLE 31 - SEVERABILITY
It is not the intent of either party hereto to violate any laws or any rulings or regulations of any
governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter of this Agreement and the
parties hereto agree that in the event any provisions of this Agreement is held or constituted to be void as
being in contravention of any such laws, rulings or regulations, nevertheless, the remainder of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unless the parts so found to be void are wholly
inseparable from the remaining portion of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 32 – ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY
For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “drug” or “drug tests” shall include both drugs and
alcohol, as appropriate. The Employer and the Union recognize that many areas of the Employer's
operations involve hazardous work with the potential for personal injury or property damage and that all
areas involve directly or indirectly the public at large. Therefore, it must endeavor to provide safe and
efficient operations for the protection and benefit of the general public, its customers and its employees.
As part of its effort to achieve that goal, it must require that its work be performed by employees who do
not use illegal drugs or misuse controlled substances and/or alcohol as follows:
SECTION 1. The Company recognizes that employees have a right to privacy and that any
adverse action taken against any employee for off-duty conduct shall take into account the employee's
right to privacy and the impact of the employee's conduct on his/her job performance, the Company's
reputation, or the public's perception of the Company's contract performance. Any disciplinary action for
such drug-related conduct will be subject to the Grievance Procedure. With respect to any alleged off-
duty related conduct, the arbitrator will be specifically instructed to balance the employee's right to privacy
in his/her off-duty time with other legitimate job-related concerns in weighing the contractual propriety of
disciplinary action.
SECTION 2. Bargaining unit employees will be subject to drug and alcohol testing under the
following circumstances:
(a) Where there is an objective reasonable basis that an employee has an in-system
presence of any illegal drug, controlled substance or alcohol, hereinafter referred
to as “substances”, while on duty or on Company property immediately preceding
or following the work shift. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “employee”
or “bargaining unit employee” includes not only persons employed in positions
covered by the STCU, collective bargaining agreement, but also persons being
recalled into such positions.
(b) As part of a post-accident investigation in cases where:
1. The individual(s) subject to testing is directly linked to the accident.
2. The accident resulted in death, injury requiring medical treatment other
than basic first aid, or property damage estimated to exceed $4,500.00.
Testing associated with an accident will take place as soon as possible,
under the circumstances.
48
(c) A government agency duly concerned with Walt Disney World Co. (e.g.,
Department of Transportation, etc.) advises the Company that employees in
specified classifications will be required to undergo job certification physical
examinations, including drug tests as a condition of future employment. In such
instances, the Union shall be given immediate notice of any such requirement or
proposed requirement. Such testing shall be conducted in accordance with the
government regulations and the procedures established by this Agreement and
shall not commence until the Union and the Company have had a reasonable
opportunity to discuss the impact of the government directive.
(d) All employees working in safety sensitive classifications as determined by the
Company will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing.
(e) Random testing as part of follow-up to rehabilitation and only for a reasonable
period of time after rehabilitation supervised by the Company’s Employee
Assistance Program, or any successor thereto, not to exceed one year. However,
employees in classifications covered by the Department of Transportation (DOT)
may be subject to additional testing as determined by the Procedures for
Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs.
(f) A random drug/alcohol testing program may be implemented for certain positions
within this Agreement. If such a decision is made the Company will meet and
agree with the affected individual Union affiliate regarding the positions subject to
random drug/alcohol testing, the date of implementation and the logistics of the
program. Employees transferring into any such position will be subject to drug
testing prior to transfer. Such positions that are deemed to be subject to a
random drug/alcohol testing pool will include testing of the same substances and
at the same levels described in Section 9 below.
(g) Employees transferring into positions for which the Company requires pre-
employment testing will be subject to such testing prior to transfer.
SECTION 3. An employee will not be tested under Section 2(a) above unless his/her actions
and/or conduct or other related circumstances provide an objective reasonable basis to believe that the
employee may have ingested drugs or alcohol and/or is suffering from impairment that will in some way
adversely affect his/her alertness, coordination, reaction, response, safety, or the safety of others, while
on duty or on Company property. Where possible, this shall be discussed with the Union Shop Steward.
Such observation will be confirmed by another member of supervision wherever possible and will be
documented. Employees will not be subject to such testing without the express consent of a senior
member of Management different from the observation Supervisor.
SECTION 4. Any employee directed for testing shall be advised of his/her right to the presence
of a Shop Steward before any pre-test meetings with Management. Provided a Shop Steward has been
requested and is available, no specimen will be collected until the Shop Steward can discuss the matter
with Management. The Union agrees that the procedures described in Sections 3 and 4 shall not operate
in a manner that will impede timely collection of a biological specimen. Refusal to provide a biological
specimen will result in immediate discharge without an opportunity at a later date to reconsider/retract the
refusal.
SECTION 5. Any employee who tests negative to any drug test under this Agreement (other than
follow-up testing to rehabilitation) shall be compensated for all lost time, at the appropriate wage rate.
Time lost under such circumstances shall be treated as time worked for purposes of premium eligibility.
SECTION 6. Specimen collection for a drug test will be accomplished in a manner compatible
with employee dignity and privacy. There will be no strip searches or opposite sex observation. In the
usual case, the Company will not observe specimen production, but the Union agrees that specimen
production may be closely monitored in those cases where the Company has a specific objective reason
49
to believe that the employee may attempt to contaminate a test specimen. Any evidence of any form of
tampering, altering, or diluting of a specimen will result in discharge.
SECTION 7. Test specimens shall be sent only to laboratory facilities certified by an appropriate
federal or state agency. The drug test laboratory and the specimen collection facility must establish and
maintain a forensically acceptable chain of custody. It will be the burden of the Company to establish, in
any case arising from a positive test result, that the appropriate chain of custody has been maintained.
If a dispute should arise over the selection of drug test laboratories, such dispute shall be resolved by
arbitration. The laboratory(s) selected must, upon request, identify the drugs tested for, the methods
used, the manufacturers of the test, the analytical limits and levels used, the methods of reporting results
and the chain of custody procedures used to produce forensically acceptable test results. To be qualified
under this section, the laboratory must participate in a program of “blind proficiency” testing where they
analyze samples sent by an independent party.
SECTION 8. Specimen collection shall be accomplished at laboratory facilities certified by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the National Laboratory Certification Program and
designated by the Employer.
All specimens identified as positive in the initial test will be confirmed by a second procedure.
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry or an equivalent scientifically acceptable method of confirmation
will be used. All confirmed positive test results will be verified by a Medical Review Officer prior to release
to the Company. The Medical Review Officer, upon written request from the employee, will report test
results to the Union Business Agent.
SECTION 9. The standard drug test thresholds for positive screen and GC/MS confirmation tests
shall be the same as those called out in the Federal Register, and may be modified whenever changed by
the Department of Health and Human Services as advances in technology or other considerations
warrant identification of new substances and/or concentrations.
In the event that the Company elects to utilize tests other than the EMIT screen or the GC/MS
Confirmation, the Company will give the Union written notice of the test methodology used and the
threshold levels employed. Positive thresholds for any other test methodologies will be reviewed with the
Union before they are applied. Any dispute over the acceptability of such alternative test methodologies
or the positive test threshold to be applied shall be resolved by arbitration. It will be the burden of the
Company to establish the acceptability of the test and the reasonableness of the threshold.
SECTION 10. The laboratory shall preserve a sufficient aliquot specimen as to permit
independent confirmatory testing by the employee and follow-up re-analysis at the request of the Union or
the Employer. Any re-analysis performed will be done on the original sample provided. The Medical
Review Officer shall endeavor to notify the Employer and the employee of positive test results within five
(5) working days after receipt of the specimen. The employee may request, in writing, a re-analysis within
three (3) working days from notice of positive test result. Additionally or as an alternative, the employee
may have the sample tested at a certified laboratory of his/her choice. Should this test result be negative,
the test results will be considered negative.
SECTION 11. Initial tests and re-analysis requested by the Company will be paid by the
Company; costs of re-analysis for reconciliation will be split between the employee and the Company. In
the event the initial test is proven to be a false positive the employee shall be reimbursed for cost of test
procedures paid for by the employee.
SECTION 12. The drug test laboratory and the specimen collection facility must establish and
maintain a forensically acceptable chain of custody. It will be the burden of the Company to establish, in
any case arising from a positive test result, that the appropriate chain of custody has been maintained.
50
SECTION 13. Where employees are required under this policy to submit blood samples for
alcohol testing, the samples will be taken in an appropriate collection facility. The collection facility and
laboratory will use the same or equivalent chain of custody procedures and exercise the same or an
equivalent level of professional care and scientifically accepted standards and procedures in the
collection and testing of blood samples for the presence of alcohol as with urine samples for the presence
of drugs. For the purposes of this policy if a test reveals the presence of alcohol at a level of .08% or
more by weight, it shall be presumed that the employee has violated this policy. If the test reveals the
presence of alcohol in excess of .05% by weight, but less than .08%, the results of the test will be
considered along with all other relevant information (e.g. employee conduct, speech, performance, etc.) in
determining whether the employee is in violation of this policy. If a test reveals the presence of alcohol of
less than .05% by weight, it shall be presumed that the employee is not under the influence of alcohol in
violation of this policy. The presumption regarding the presence of alcohol of less than .05% by weight is
rebuttable based on consideration of all other relevant information (e.g., employee conduct, speech,
performance, etc.). The Company bears the burden of proof in rebutting such presumption. In the event
an employee objects to alcohol testing by blood sample, the Company will test the employee through an
evidentiary alcohol breath analyzer which conforms to the same standards as cited above.
The parties agree that use of an evidentiary alcohol breath analyzer, which is properly calibrated and
which is operated by a certified technician, shall be conclusive proof of the accuracy of the results.
Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to abandon blood samples in favor of the alcohol
breath analyzer referenced above.
SECTION 14. Any employee who has a confirmed positive test will be required to participate in
the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Failure to seek and receive EAP assistance or failure to abide
by the terms and conditions or prescribed treatment will be grounds for discharge. If an employee is
subject to disciplinary action under existing practices, the use of substances shall not be a defense to
circumvent existing practices or to avoid disciplinary action. Participation in the EAP shall be taken into
account in considering appropriate disciplinary action. No employee shall be discharged as a result of a
positive drug or alcohol test pursuant to Section 2(a), (b), (e) or (f) above, so long as he or she agrees to
participate in an EAP, the cost of which will be covered by Company-provided health insurance to the
extent required by the plan terms. In instances where it is necessary, a leave of absence may be granted
for treatment or rehabilitation through the EAP for substances on the same basis as it is granted for other
medical conditions.
SECTION 15. Test results shall be communicated by the Medical Review Officer, or the
designated Company representative. The Company shall be responsible for maintaining confidentiality of
test records and test results will be communicated to job site Management strictly on a “need to know”
basis. Employee drug test records shall not be released outside the Walt Disney World Co. medical
department unless required by administrative action initiated by the employee or the Union. The
employee shall be entitled to written notification of positive drug test results. Copies of such reports will
be provided to the Union when authorized in writing by the affected employee.
SECTION 16. Except in the case of a positive random test after referral to the EAP which shall
be conclusive proof of just cause for termination, when and if it becomes necessary to impose discipline
for drug-related conduct or job performance, discipline will be judged by the contractual just cause
standard and will be subject to the grievance/arbitration procedure. Except to the extent the employee(s)
withholds written consent as to particular documents personal to him/her, the Company agrees to provide
the Union, in advance, with whatever documentation or information the Union reasonably requires to
process the grievance and/or arbitration. By establishing this policy, neither the Company nor the Union
waives any legal rights. The parties agree that this drug policy shall not diminish the rights of individual
employees under state or federal law relating to drug testing.
SECTION 17. The Company shall provide education for Management personnel regarding
observation techniques, the availability and desirability of the Employee Assistance Programs and the
need for observing strict confidentiality. Supervisors will be provided guidelines for maintaining
51
confidentiality of all drug-related information and referring employees who may have a problem to
appropriate counseling.
SECTION 18. The Company agrees that it shall indemnify and hold the Union harmless against
any and all complaints, claims, judgments, or demands that may arise out of, or in any way are related to,
the Union's negotiation or participation in the foregoing drug policy applicable to bargaining unit
employees and applicants, or the Company's activities in carrying out this drug testing program.
ARTICLE 33 - LABOR/MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS AND SAFETY COMMITTEE
The Company and the Union recognize the mutual benefit of meetings of representatives from
both parties. Therefore, the parties agree to establish joint Labor/Management Committees to maintain
open lines of communication and to discuss and resolve issues. Each Committee will be co-chaired by
the Chief Officer of the affected Affiliate Union or his/her designee, and the designated Executive from
Operations or his/her designee. It is understood and agreed the Committee will not have the authority to
receive or resolve grievances or engage in collective bargaining. The Company and the Union will agree
on the number of core committee attendees for each Committee and the frequency for each Committee
by line of business, job classification, or work location. Either party, within reason, may invite appropriate
subject matter experts deemed necessary. Shop Stewards designated by the Union to attend the
Committee meeting during his/her scheduled shift will be paid for the time attending the meeting.
Agenda items will be submitted by the parties in advance of the meetings. Each meeting will
contain the Agenda item of Safety. The Committee may consider the following as it relates to workplace
safety:
(a) Evaluation of health and safety issues through means such as, but not limited to, examination of
records, inspections, and employee interviews;
(b) To identify additional or improved health and safety training needs;
(c) To meet with and make recommendations to the G.M./Director with operational responsibility for
the area in question regarding (a) and (b) above.
ARTICLE 34 - TERM OF AGREEMENT
SECTION 1. TERM
This Agreement, and any further amendment or supplement hereto, shall be in full force and
effect from September 24, 2017 through October 1, 2022, and from year to year thereafter, subject to the
right of either party to terminate the same at the anniversary of October 1 following October 1, 2022 upon
the giving of written notice of termination not later than sixty (60) days next preceding the effective date of
such termination.
SECTION 2. COMPLETE AGREEMENT
The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Agreement, each had the
unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not
removed by law from the area of collective bargaining, and that the understandings and agreements
arrived at by the parties, after the exercise of that right and opportunity, are set forth in this Agreement.
Therefore, the Company and the Union, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly
waives the right and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect
to any subject or matter referred to or covered in this Agreement, except as provided specifically in
Section 2 or 3 of this Article, or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered
in this Agreement, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or
contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time that they negotiated or signed this Agreement.
52
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and effective
as of the day and year first above written.

Addendum B-1
UNITE HERE! Local 737
All Food and Beverage, Culinary and Stewarding
The Food and Beverage Policies and Procedures are applicable only when the Cast Member is working
in a job classification to which the specific policy applies, e.g., If a Food and Beverage Cast Member
transfers from a non-tipped position to a tipped position or vice-versa the applicable guidelines will be
applied automatically without having to go through the re- signing process.
There will be a minimum of one (1) schedule bid per year for Food and Beverage Cast Members.
Walkouts, food allergy procedure violations and explanations to the Guest of the gratuity policy shall not
result in automatic discipline.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE TIPPED
Service Charge for Parties of Six (6) or more
An eighteen percent (18%) service charge will be included on all guest checks of parties of six (6) or
more.
1. The guests will be advised of the policy by the first Host/ess (i.e., DRC, Guest Services, Concierge, or
Seating Host/ess) to accept the guest's reservations.
2. In addition to the above, the policy will be printed on the menus.
3. If a party of six (6) or more, regardless of reservation size, arrives and is seated at the same table
and receives separate checks, the automatic service charge shall apply.
4. If a party of six (6) or more arrives and, for whatever reason, is split and seated at separate tables,
with the same server regardless of the number of checks, the automatic service charge shall apply.
5. If the party of six (6) or more arrives and, for whatever reason, is split, seated at separate tables with
different servers, receives separate checks, and these checks are paid for by separate individuals,
the automatic service charge does not apply.
6. In situations where our guests refuse to comply with our policy, it will be the responsibility of the
service person to locate a Manager prior to the guests leaving the restaurant so that Management
can speak with the guests. If the service person fails to involve a Manager in the situation prior to the
guests departing the restaurant, or receives discipline for poor service, the Company will not be
responsible for the difference between what the guest left and eighteen percent (18%) of the guest's
food and beverage total.
7. The eighteen percent (18%) service charge will be automatically added to the guest check and will be
calculated on the food and beverage totals. The server will not be required to inform the guest that a
service charge has been included, unless he/she is asked by the guest.
8. A twenty percent (20%) service charge will be automatically added to parties of six (6) or more only at
Victoria and Albert's. With exception to the amount of the gratuity, all of the above aforementioned is
applicable to Victoria and Albert's.
Gratuities/Fees
1. Gratuities will be paid on food and beverage totals only. Gratuities will not be paid on miscellaneous
pricing, including but not limited to merchandise, entertainment, (excluding Spirit of Aloha, Hoop-Dee-
Doo, and Character Dining restaurants, where entertainment is included in the price), house charges,
imaging, etc. Merchandise will only be included in the total food and beverage price for the purpose of
61
gratuity calculation if the Server is required by the Company to handle and deliver merchandise items
to the guest as part of the Guest’s dining experience. Gratuities will not be paid on autograph books,
pens and disposable cameras.
2. Should the Company decide to reinstate package plans with automatic gratuity included, the parties
agree the terms of the addendum expiring on April, 28, 2007 will remain in effect.
3. An automatic gratuity of eighteen percent (18%) will be added for supplemental food and beverage
purchased at prepaid venues (i.e., Spirit of Aloha, Hoop-Dee-Doo, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Princess

future pre-paid venues, for the life of this agreement.
5. An automatic eighteen percent (18%) will be added for food and beverage purchased from Pizza
Delivery and Private Dining.
6. It is the Company's understanding that when a business requires their guests to pay a Pre-
determined charge, which is given to employees of the business, the charges are considered a
service charge. Furthermore, service charges are not considered a tip, but rather, are wages paid by
the employer. Consequently, the tax code requires the Company to withhold taxes on all service
charges.
7. It is the responsibility of all service persons to report one-hundred percent (100%) of their tips and
gratuities for income tax purposes. The Company will continue to report eight percent (8%) of the
location's gross sales to the government and will withhold tax on the tips and gratuities declared by
the employee to the Company. The Company reserves the right to amend and/or alter this position to
conform to state and federal laws.

situations.
9. An eighteen percent (18%) service charge will be added for Company sponsored Cast discounts, e.g.
Cast Serving Cast, Cast discounted meals, and Cast Celebration discounted meals. The service
charge will be based on the total Food and Beverage charges before any discounts have been
applied. This provision does not apply to Tables in Wonderland and Disney Vacation Club.
10. An automatic gratuity of eighteen percent (18%) will be added for all guests using Tables in
Wonderland, based on the retail value of the Food and Beverage.

APPENDIX A
3
The following parties agreed to settle a dispute over the usage of performers covered under the Equity
collective bargaining agreement and Characters covered under the Service Trades Council Union
agreement: Actors’ Equity Association (“Equity”), the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 385
(“Teamsters”) and WALT DISNEY WORLD CO. (‘the Company”). This agreement to settle reached by
the parties without any admission of wrongdoing or liability, but rather is based on the recognition that
harmonious labor relations demanded a good faith effort be made to reach a mutually satisfactory
resolution among the Unions involved while at the same time maintaining for the Company the continued
ability to use Equity performers and Characters in a fashion consistent with past practice except where
specifically modified by the terms of this agreement. Based on this premise, the parties to this settlement
agreement do hereby agree as follows:
1. Principal actors and singers are covered and will continue to be covered by and subject to the
terms of the Equity/WDW collective bargaining agreement. Principals include:
performers who play roles in stage shows, whether acting, singing, dancing or performing
stunts, except named Disney Characters who do not sing live, speak scripted dialogue, or
named Disney face Characters who do not perform stunts or perform advanced dance (such
as Cinderella on point or partnering with lifts);
improvisational actors;
atmosphere actors, which includes atmosphere work where the actor is expected to enact
scenes or do stunt work (this does not include Character Meet and Greet work, such as
CHARACTER BREAKFASTS, or simple atmosphere enhancement such as Disney’s
Hollywood Studios NEWSBOYS, GREEN ARMY MEN);
story tellers, excluding named Disney Characters who read stories;
master of ceremonies, narrator, announcer and disc jockey work.
2. Those performing parade work, except those performing live singing, improvisational acting, or
speaking scripted dialogue (example: Director role in Studio parade) are and will generally be
covered by and subject to the terms of the Service Trades Council Union collective bargaining
agreement. Performers statused in the Equity unit may also be assigned to appear in parades
(see Paragraph 10).
3. Those performing pageant or “flood” work are and will continue to be covered by the Service
Trades Council Union collective bargaining agreement.
4. All those performing named Disney Character work are covered by and subject to the Service
Trades Council Union collective bargaining agreement, except named Disney Characters
engaging in live singing or speaking scripted dialogue, and except advanced dance by named
Disney face Characters (such as Cinderella on point or partnering with lifts), which is Equity work.
5. Character Meet and Greet work is covered by the Service Trades Council Union collective
bargaining agreement. However, performers in the Equity unit will continue to be assigned to do
Meet and Greet work in accordance with past practice, such as when shows are lost, or to
maintain Character continuity on tour or during conventions and special events.
6. Those performing story reading by named Disney Characters are covered by the Service Trades
Council Union collective bargaining agreement (this does not preclude the reading of stories by
Merchandise host/hostesses or similar classifications as part of a spontaneous Take Five or
Magical Moment type of guest experience).
3
Should any discrepancies arise, the original signed document will prevail
95
7. Ensemble performers continue to be covered by and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Equity collective bargaining agreement as follows:
the ensemble of any “book” show (where there is a script and a plot) where the performers
portray people (such as POCAHONTAS ensemble portraying the tribespeople and British
sailors, or the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ensemble portraying townspeople, servants and
guests), or portray animals with individual personalities and human characteristics;
the dance ensemble of any dance or musical stage show (such as KIDS OF THE KINGDOM,
PLEASURE ISLAND DANCERS, or HOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD type shows), including
“stage shows” which the Company directs to be performed on a non-traditional surface (such
as CANIDANSE) or which are of an ethnic nature (such as POLYNESIAN LUAU). This does
not include parades;
singing ensembles for all “stage” shows and conventions (such as VOICES OF LIBERTY).
This does not preclude the use of cast and volunteer choirs for special holiday events and
special events. This does not include unison flood singing (such as the finale to JOLLY
HOLIDAYS);
stunt and acrobatic ensembles (such as EPIC STUNT THEATRE or the RED PANDA
acrobats). This does not include Character skills like stilt walking, in line skating, bicycling, or
skate boarding, if the individuals performing such activities are not also singing live, doing
improvisational acting, or speaking scripted dialogue.
8. Ensemble performers are covered under the Service Trades Council Union collective
bargaining agreement as follows:
as puppeteers in “book” shows where they do not also portray people and sing or speak live
(such as VOYAGE OF THE LITTLE MERMAID, THE LION KING, Grandmother Willow in
POCAHONTAS, or the Drug Awareness Program). Such puppeteers may be seen and/or
have faces showing as long as they are neutral in character and without personality;
in stage shows when costumed as named Disney Characters; or in stage shows when
costumed in a fashion which covers the full face or when costumed with faces showing but
where the Characters do not portray people or animals with individual personalities and/or
human characteristics, or sing or speak scripted dialogue or perform dance movements
beyond what the average person with reasonable coordination can learn in a relatively short
period of time.
9. The Company may assign ensemble performers under either the Equity agreement or
the Service Trades Council Union agreement as follows:
as extras to augment a Dance ensemble covered by the Equity agreement (such as
SPARKLING CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR, JOLLY HOLIDAYS, or TOTALLY MINNIE);
as ensemble for in-house Cast Member events (such as Guest Fanatics Awards, 5-Star
Awards or Department Christmas Shows). This does not preclude the appearance of O & T
or Management personnel in such shows on an occasional or sporadic basis as a show
feature;
as extras to augment named Disney Character shows (such as FROM ALL OF US TO ALL
OF YOU and SPLASHTACULAR [except as to the six featured girls and the kick line, on
which there remains a disagreement]);
in street performances by parade cast, Characters or performers which are part of a larger
spectacular event (for example, Marketing events, grand openings or the Millennium
celebration). If the spectacular is ongoing, the Company agrees to consult with either Union,
on request, regarding its casting assignments.
In all instances under paragraph 9, all performers in the referenced group would be covered
under the same agreement.
96
10. If any performers covered by the Equity agreement are assigned to perform work normally
covered by the Service Trades Council Union agreement (for example appearing in parades or
Meet and Greet sets at conventions), the Equity unit performers’ pay shall not be reduced in such
instances. If Characters are assigned to perform Equity work, they shall be paid the higher of the
Character’s own rate or time-carded up in accordance with the Equity collective bargaining
agreement. The assignment of Characters to perform work normally covered by the Equity
agreement shall be limited to occasional or short term basis (such as “subbing” for a Principal or
holiday/seasonal show). The time-carding up shall be for the period of time in which the Equity
work is performed. During such periods, each group, be it Equity or Character, shall remain
subject to the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreement to which they are
statused.
11. All shows prior to the date of this agreement are hereby “grandfathered” with the following
exceptions:
if the “Russian Dancer” role as it is presently choreographed is used in SPARKLING
CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR or a similar holiday show, it will be covered under the Equity
agreement;
HUNCHBACK; which the parties have handled separately.
12. These guidelines shall have no effect on, nor shall they serve as a waiver of any right which
exists to assign work to any group excluded from coverage under either collective bargaining
agreement.
In the event we have a future disagreement with either Union on this issue, we have agreed that we will
attempt to informally resolve that dispute by submitting it to a tripartite Committee consisting of
representatives of the Company, Equity and the Teamsters. This group will make a non-binding
recommendation for resolution.
APPENDIX B
PROCEDURAL AGREEMENT
4
This document sets forth agreement among Walt Disney World Co. (Company), Actors’ Equity
Association (Equity), and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 385 (Teamsters) as to
procedures for determining jurisdiction and resolving disputes as to jurisdiction over the assignment of
work by the Company as Character or Equity work. Such determination shall be in accordance with the
1997 Settlement Agreement between the Company, Equity and the Teamsters (1997 Settlement
Agreement) (Appendix A) which defines the jurisdiction of each of the two unions with regards to
entertainment work assigned by the Company.
When the Company has determined that it will produce a new performance, or that an existing
performance will be substantially changed (e.g. change in duties, reassignment of duties, and/or increase
or decrease in the number of performers), the following steps will be taken:
1. Where Character and Equity Performers have been assigned to perform together during the
same performance, a script or storyboard and cast breakdown will be sent to both unions by the
Company no less than ten (10) calendar days prior to auditions for either Characters or Equity
performers.
For new or substantially changed performances where only Character or Equity Performers have
assigned to perform, upon the request of either Union, the Company agrees to provide a copy of
4
Should any discrepancies arise, the original signed document will prevail.
97
the script or storyboard and cast breakdown within five (5) business days of the request or when
the script or storyboard is available.
2. Representatives from the Company, Equity, and the Teamsters shall meet prior to such auditions,
however if either of the Unions are not available, the Company shall not be impeded from moving
forward with the audition, rehearsal or first public performance.
3. Rehearsals will be viewed by representatives of both unions to ensure that the show as finally
staged, is cast in accordance with the correct jurisdiction as set forth in the 1997 Settlement
Agreement and the two Unions’ collective bargaining agreements with the Company.
4. The parties agree that any disputes regarding the assignment of work by the Company as
Character or Equity work shall not be grieved by the Unions and must be submitted to a tripartite
committee consisting of representatives from the Company, Equity, and the Teamsters.
If the parties cannot reach a resolution through use of a tripartite committee, the parties agree to follow
the steps below for jurisdictional disputes:
A. Arbitration – The dispute will go to expedited arbitration as set forth below:
1. The parties shall designate a permanent panel of three arbitrators, with each party designating
one arbitrator (Richard P. Deem, Jack Clark, James J. Sherman). Each arbitrator shall hear
disputes on a rotating basis; however, in the event a member of the panel is not available to hear
a dispute in his proper turn, the next arbitrator on the panel shall be substituted.
2. The parties should reach agreement concerning any jurisdiction dispute within four (4) weeks
after the first public performance before any audience (the “soft opening”), or the issue will be
submitted to arbitration by the party or parties raising the dispute.
3. The arbitration shall take place within two (2) weeks after the postmark date on the letter to the
arbitrator by the party initiating the arbitration, and the Arbitrator has seventy-two (72) hours after
hearing the case to make a determination. The Arbitrator’s determination shall apply only to the
show where the jurisdictional issue has occurred. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add or
modify the 1997 Settlement Agreement or the collective bargaining agreements between the
Company and the Unions.
4. Evidence concerning past practices submitted in the arbitration will be limited to only those
practices on the Walt Disney World Resort Property as defined in the scope of the Collective
Bargaining Agreements with Equity and the Service Trades Council Union/Teamsters.
5. Each party will put forth a remedy and the arbitrator shall choose one of those remedies. Two (2)
of the three (3) parties can submit the same remedy, although no weight shall be given to the fact
two (2) parties are in agreement. The decision will be based on the validity of the evidence and
argument, not majority rules. The remedy requested by the parties shall be limited to the show
where the jurisdictional dispute has occurred.
6. The parties to this agreement agree to pay one-third (1/3) of the costs associated with an
arbitration resulting from a jurisdictional dispute.
B. Changes after Casting as a result of Tripartite Committee resolution or arbitration:
1. If a role has been cast as a Character, which is then deemed to be an Equity role, the Company
may offer an Equity contract to the most qualified candidate. If the Character performer is offered
an Equity Individual Employment Contract (IEC), the Company will give consideration as to the
length of the Equity contract (IEC), so that the Cast Member will have the option of returning to
the STCU/IBT bargaining unit prior to one (1) year, and not lose their seniority rights per Article
13, Section 6, of the Full Time STCU Agreement currently in effect. However, if the Character
Performer accepts the IEC and later opts to return to the STCU/IBT bargaining unit, they will be
98
precluded from exercising their seniority for the purpose of bidding lines as stipulated in
Attachment 4A.1.(c) the current IBT Addendum Agreement.
2. If a role has been cast as Equity, which is then deemed to be a Character role, and is to be
covered under the STCU/IBT Agreements, the Company will make every effort to place said
performer in another show on property in a role covered by the Equity Agreement, or, solely at
the performer’s option, the Company may retain the performer in the original role, placing the
performer in the role covered under the STCU/IBT Agreements. If the performer cannot be placed
elsewhere in an Equity role or refuses to be placed in another Equity role or does not wish to
remain in the original role covered by the STCU/IBT Agreements, the Company may terminate
the Performer’s contract with two (2) weeks notice as specified in Rule 8(I) of the Equity
Agreement currently in effect; and, if applicable, the performer will receive the severance package
as specified in Rule 8(H)(1) of the Equity Agreement currently in effect; and, if the Performer is on
a first year contract, the Company will provide relocation, if applicable, as specified in Rule 9 of
the Equity Agreement currently in effect.

In the event that an a.m./p.m. float Cast Member floats into a p.m. line, whoever has the
greater seniority will have the preference on the more desired shift
The floater schedule will cover vacation relief
3. If available, a Regular Part Time employee will be scheduled to cover the third shift in the event the
employee who has bid that line is on vacation, a leave of absence, or in the event of any vacancy, for
a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. If a Regular Part Time employee is not available, the least
senior available Regular Full Time Tipped Bell Services employee will be assigned this shift, for a
period not to exceed sixty (60) days per calendar year. Once the least senior available employee has
worked sixty (60) cumulative days in a calendar year, shifts will then be filled by the next least senior
available employee.
4. When Management changes a selected bid schedule for an employee due to business necessity,
all shifts that are available, including floater shifts, will be available for selection by the affected
employee by seniority. If a more senior employee has selected a floater line, then that employee will
select his/her shift first. The remaining shifts will be assigned to floaters by seniority. All shifts that
cannot be scheduled will then be covered by Regular Part Time employees. Regular Part Time
employees will be scheduled last.
(a) Management will make every reasonable attempt to contact affected employees for a schedule
change within forty-eight (48) hours. This will allow affected employees to select a new shift from
available shifts prior to the weekly schedule posting. If, for any reason, employees cannot be
contacted within forty-eight (48) hours, Management will assign a schedule as close to the bid
line as possible and continue the schedule posting.
(b) If schedule changes are necessary after a posted schedule, then Management has the right to
make schedule changes as required to manage the operation without references to the pre-
posting process.

off.
5.
If Full Time lines are added to the schedule in-between bids, and have been available for forty-five
(45) days or longer.
When Full Time lines are added to the schedule either by converting Regular Part Time shifts or by
business necessity, they will be filled through the transfer procedure and not by first converting
affected Regular Part Time employees to Regular Full Time. If there are no Regular Full Time
candidates from ReCasting (including Tipped Bell Services third-shift personnel), Management may
then fill the position through Regular Part Time conversion or the new hire process.
6. Regular Full Time/Regular Part Time Mix
The Company agrees to preserve seventy percent (70%) of the total hours paid in Bell Services
Tipped to Regular Full Time employees; the premium segment of resorts will not drop below seventy
percent (70%). In the event the monthly average falls below seventy percent (70%) the Company will
open Regular Full Time positions within forty-five (45) days to bring Full Time hours with-in
compliance. The penalty for the Company's failure to not adhere to the above set guidelines by
adding Full Time lines within forty-five (45) days after failing to maintain a seventy percent (70%)
average of Full Time monthly hours will be as follows:
The employee on the top of the Casting skill code list for the open position will receive a payment of
twenty dollars ($20.00) per day for each day from the time the grievance is filed with Labor Relations
until the transfer process has been initiated.

Hospitality Host/ess rate between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. In addition, any employee
covering a third shift line due to call sick, etc., will be paid the appropriate Hospitality Host/ess rate
between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. This does not apply to employees whose shifts
overlap into this time period for any reason. The time paid at this rate should not exceed a total of
eight hours during this defined period based on the timing of the employee’s thirty (30) minute unpaid
lunch.
Employees covered under the one (1) year rule (Article 13, Section 7) will be subject to bargaining unit
seniority to bid shifts after employees with one (1) or more years in the Bell Service classification have
made their selections. Seniority of those employees transferring from a non-tipped area who have
transferred into a Tipped Bell Services position will be by seniority date based on the date of transfer, until
able to exercise Company seniority in the schedule bid process. The new hire seniority date will be
honored after the transfer’s seniority has been considered.
Shop Stewards
Tipped Bell Services Shop Stewards will be paid at their appropriate Hospitality Host/ess rate for the
actual time (rounded to the nearest tenth) when they are taken out of rotation at Management’s request.
The Shop Steward Card will be kept in rotation, and, if front missed, Bellman becomes first person up.

Third and each succeeding one-half (½) hour meal delay or fraction thereof $10.50
Employee must notify the shift manager of impending meal penalty a minimum of thirty (30) minutes
prior to penalty. Failure to do so eliminates the Company’s obligation to pay the prescribed penalty.
Daily Ops shifts are excluded from notification requirement unless the Employee worked an
additional shift prior to this shift during the workday.
152
3. If the length of the shift requires a second meal break
*
, it must begin between four (4) and six (6)
hours after the first meal period, exclusive of meal breaks. Additional meal breaks shall be either a
one-half (½) hour unpaid meal break or a French meal.
If an employee does not receive the meal break or French meal as indicated hereinabove, the
employee will be paid the meal penalty specified in Article 4(a).
4. French Meals. The Company, in lieu of a meal break, may provide a meal of acceptable quality
(agreed to by the Crew Chief) for all personnel, within the same time range. No penalty payments are
required. Once distributed, a minimum fifteen (15) minute break will be called to allow the crew time
to eat without leaving their assigned work station/location. Work time shall be continuous unless a
break of one-half (½) hour is provided. Food and beverage supplied as a French meal are at the
Company's expense.
5. Grace Period. There will be a twelve (12) minute grace period prior to the imposition of any meal
penalty. The twelve (12) minute grace period may not be scheduled, but may be used when
necessary to complete work in progress. The grace period provision is applicable to Film & Tape
operations and Resort/Theme Park dress rehearsals, sound checks, and shows.
E. PAYCHECKS

show/tour, the Company will make every effort to furnish the employee with his/her paycheck and make
banking arrangements as necessary.
F. TRAVEL TIME
1. Time spent in travel which occurs within an employee's normally scheduled shift will be considered as
time worked for purposes of computing overtime. EXAMPLE: If an employee travels during his/her
normal shift period and continues by working later that same day, any hours in excess of eight (8) will
be counted as overtime.
2. Time spent in travel which occurs outside an employee's normally scheduled shift will not be
considered as time worked. EXAMPLE: An employee scheduled to travel at the end of a work shift
will not be paid for any time in excess of his/her normal straight time hours for time spent in travel.
Such time will be considered as hours worked, however, if determined by the Company as "captive",
i.e. operators who drive vehicles to a new location.
3. Travel time occurring on an employee's day off or holiday and which corresponds to a normal
scheduled shift will be considered as hours worked for the purposes of computing overtime.
G. EMPLOYEE EXPENSES FOR TRAVEL

TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE REFERRAL PROGRAM
FOR HOURLY (NON-EXEMPT) REFERRALS BY I.A.T.S.E.
ARTICLE 1. PREAMBLE
This Addendum is entered into by and between the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees
and Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories and Canada
("I.A.T.S.E."), Local 631, on behalf of the Service Trades Council Union (collectively referred to as the
"Union"), on the one hand, and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. (the "Company"), on the other hand,
as a supplement to the collective bargaining agreement between the Service Trades Council Union and
Walt Disney World Co. dated September 24, 2017 (the "Agreement"). Only those provisions specifically
set forth below shall have application to employees working under this Addendum.
ARTICLE 2. SCOPE
The terms and conditions of this Addendum shall only be applicable when the Company requests and
accepts a temporary employee referred by Local 631 to supplement the existing workforce in the
Convention and Entertainment Technical areas.
ARTICLE 3. REFERRAL PROCEDURE
The Company shall follow the employment procedure set forth below, employing casual employees in the
classifications listed in Article 6.
A. I.A.T.S.E. Local 631 agrees to maintain an updated list of persons who are able to demonstrate their
qualifications and are available to work as casual employees in the classifications listed in Article 6.
Said list shall be maintained on a non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, sex, national
origin, ancestry, religion, disability or sexual orientation, as provided in federal and state legislation
and shall not be based on, or affected in any way by, Union membership, by laws, rules, regulations,
constitutional provisions or any other aspect or obligation of Union membership.
B. When the Company needs casual employees in the classifications listed in Article 6 to supplement
its regular work force, it shall, prior to hiring from any other source, request that Local 631 provide it
with the names, telephone numbers and addresses of persons on the availability list who are
qualified for the job in question. The Company agrees to employ a person from said availability list
rather than from any other source, provided that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that
one of the persons on the list is qualified for the job. The Company agrees to exercise its discretion
in good faith. If the Company determines that none of the available persons on the list are qualified
for the job, it may hire from any other source. The Company's determination as to an individual's
qualification shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure.
C. Any person who has been discharged for cause by the Company shall be removed from the
availability list for a period of at least one (1) year. Any person found by the Company to be
unqualified for a position for which he/she is listed shall be removed from the list for that
classification until such time as the Union is able to demonstrate that competency has been
obtained.
D. The Company shall refer interested applicants to the Union for referral under this procedure.
E. The Company shall have the right to "call by name."
F. Existing Casual Regular employees of the Company are "grandfathered" and accordingly, exempted
from this procedure.
G. The Company may hire casual employees in any job classification should the Union be unable to
refer qualified employees as provided in section (b) above.
156
H. A Stagehand that works as a TERP for a minimum of three (3) years or 2000 hours shall be referred
at the Stagehand 1 rate.
I. The above procedure may also be used, on a non-exclusive basis, to refer Wardrobe Referrals to
Creative Costuming. Such use shall not restrict or limit in any way the Company’s ability to use
Casual employees or employees on a cross-u basis in Creative Costuming.
ARTICLE 4. HOURS OF WORK
Section 1. Payroll Week
A payroll week is defined in Article 10, Section 1 of the main body of the STCU Collective Bargaining
Agreement.
Section 2. Payroll Day
A payroll day is a period of twenty four (24) hours starting at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and ending at 11:59
p.m. on the same day.
Section 3. Workday
A scheduled workday shall normally consist of either eight (8) or ten (10) consecutive hours based on the
normal shift length in use at the location for which a TERP is requested, unless a minimum of four (4) but
less than eight (8) hours is specified at time of call.
Section 4. Meal Breaks
A. A minimum time of one-half (½) hour to a maximum of one (1) hour unpaid meal break will be
assigned to each employee scheduled to work more than seven (7) hours. For all shifts other than
Wardrobe TERP shifts, that start after noon, such meal break shall be taken as near as practicable
to the mid-point of the scheduled shift, but not before four (4) hours nor later than six (6) hours from
the beginning of the shift. In any Wardrobe TERP shift, that starts after noon and where a first meal
break is taken, such meal break shall be taken as near as practical to the mid-point of the scheduled
shift, but not before two (2) hours, nor later than six (6) hours from the beginning of the shift. If
employee has notified the shift manager in advance and does not begin a meal break or receive a
French meal beginning with the seventh (7th) hour of work, he/she will be paid a meal penalty for
delayed meals as follows,
First one-half (½) hour meal delay or fraction thereof $5.50
Second one-half (½) hour meal delay or fraction thereof $8.00
Third and each succeeding one-half (½) hour meal delay or fraction thereof $10.50
Employee must notify the shift manager of impending meal penalty a minimum of thirty (30) minutes
prior to penalty. Failure to do so eliminates the Company’s obligation to pay the prescribed penalty.
Daily Ops shifts are excluded from notification requirement unless the Employee worked an additional
shift prior to this shift during the workday.
B. If the length of the shift requires a second meal break
*
, it must begin between four (4) and six (6)
hours after the end of the first meal period. Additional meal breaks shall be either a one-half (½) hour
unpaid meal break or a French meal. In no case will a second meal break be required prior to the
completion of the eleventh (11th) consecutive hour of work for employees on a ten (10) hour shift,
exclusive of meal breaks.
*
A second meal break will be required on a scheduled shift that is fourteen (14) hours or more.
157
If an employee does not receive the meal break or French meal as indicated hereinabove, the
employee will be paid the meal penalty specified in Section 4(a).
C. French Meals. The Company, in lieu of a meal break, may provide a meal of acceptable quality
(agreed to by the Crew Chief) for all personnel, within the same time range. No penalty payments
are required. Once distributed, a minimum fifteen (15) minute break will be called to allow the crew
time to eat without leaving their assigned work station/location. Work time shall be continuous
unless a break of one-half (½) hour is provided. Food and beverage supplied as a French meal are
at the Company's expense.
D. Grace Period. There will be a twelve (12) minute grace period prior to the imposition of any meal
penalty. The twelve (12) minute grace period may not be scheduled, but may be used when
necessary to complete work in progress. The grace period provision is applicable to Film & Tape
operations and Resort/Theme Park dress rehearsals, sound checks, and shows.
Section 5. Rest Period
Each employee will be allowed a fifteen (15) minute rest period for each four (4) hours of work.
Employees who work ten (10) or more hours will receive an additional fifteen (15) minute rest period. The
Company may schedule the rest period in accordance with its needs. Rest periods will be provided as
nearly as possible to the middle of each half of an eight (8) hour shift or near the middle of short four (4)
or six (6) hour shifts unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. An additional fifteen (15) minute rest
period will be guaranteed to an employee who works at least four (4) consecutive hours beyond the end
of her/his regularly scheduled shifts. When the Company fails to provide a break(s), the employee will
receive an additional fifteen (15) minutes pay at the appropriate rate for each missed break, or be
released from shift fifteen (15) minutes early for each missed break.
Section 6. Call Cancellation/Report Pay
A. Calls not canceled by 12:00 noon of the day prior to the call shall be compensated with four (4) hours
pay.
B. Employees who report for work and are put to work will be paid their full shift if they are sent home
before the end of their regular shift.
C. No report pay will be due an employee if work is not available for him/her, due to conditions beyond
the control of the Company, such as fire, flood, hurricane, or other Act of God, civil disturbances,
picketing and threats of harm.
D. The provisions of this Section apply to all scheduled shifts, including overtime with the exception of
shift extensions which will be paid at actual hours worked.
Section 7. Turnabout Procedure
A. Employees returning from a straight time shift with less than eight (8) hours time off from the end of
the previous shift will be paid overtime commencing with the ninth (9th) cumulative hour.
B. An employee will return at the applicable overtime rate when returning from an overtime shift with
less than eight (8) hours time off from the end of the previous shift.
C. The Company will pay double time for all hours commencing with the fifteenth (15th) cumulative hour
when an employee has worked more than fourteen (14) consecutive hours.
D. If an employee is released from work with less than eight (8) hours until the beginning of the next
shift, but remains on call, a sleeping room will be provided and the non work period will be paid at
the applicable rate.
E. When there are two (2) hours or less between two shifts, the time between shifts will be treated as
continuous time and will be paid at the applicable rate.
158
F. Hours worked during an employee's regularly scheduled shift, regardless of the rate of pay received,
shall be used for the computation of overtime for hours worked in excess of forty (40) in a payroll
week as provided in Article 11, Section 4 (c) of the Service Trades Council Union Agreement.
G. If an employee is released from work with eight (8) or more hours until the beginning of the next shift,
the provisions of this Section will not apply.
Section 8. Holiday Pay When Worked
TERPS are not eligible for holiday pay, but will be paid time and one-half for all hours worked on the
following days:
A. New Year’s Eve
B. Fourth of July
C. Thanksgiving
D. Christmas Day
ARTICLE 5. OVERTIME
The Company may require overtime and in its sole discretion may determine when and by whom such
overtime will be worked.
Section 1. Time and One-Half
A. Over eight (8) or ten (10) consecutive hours, depending on the call. The Company shall pay time and
one half (1½) for all consecutive hours worked in excess of eight (8) or ten (10), beginning at the start
of any regularly scheduled shift. In a location where the normal shift length in use is ten (10) hours, a
TERP called for that location will be paid overtime based on an eight (8) hour shift if called for a
stand- alone shift. A “stand-alone shift” is any shift accepted by a TERP with less than 24 hours until
the start of the shift. Shifts accepted with more than twenty-four (24) hours before the start of the shift
will not be considered stand-alone and will be paid at the applicable eight (8) or ten (10) hour straight
time shift.
B. Over forty hours (40) in payroll week. Employees shall be paid one and one half (1½) times their
regular straight time hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in any one (1)
payroll week.
Section 2. Double Time
A. The Company will pay double time for all hours commencing with the fifteenth (15th) cumulative hour
when an employee has worked more than fourteen (14) consecutive hours.
B. Employees, who are required to work seven (7) consecutive days in the work week, will be paid at the
rate of double time their regular straight-time rate for the seventh (7th) day. When an employee
voluntarily pursues an additional shift outside his/her own department, this double time provision does
not apply.

ARTICLE 8. RIGGING PREMIUM
The rigging premium of three dollars ($3.00) per hour, paid in one (1) hour increments, shall be paid to

ARTICLE 9. PYRO PREMIUM
A. Definition
TERP employees specifically scheduled into pre-determined positions involving the handling of 1.3g
and/or 1.4g pyrotechnic products will be paid a one dollar ($1.00) per hour premium. The pyrotechnic
premium will increase to $1.50 per hour on 9/29/2019, $2.00 per hour on 10/4/2020, and $2.50 per hour
on 10/3/2021. This premium will be applied to all designated qualifying shifts in daily operations,
conventions and special events.
B. Qualifying Shifts
For the purposes of this premium, a qualifying shift is one in which the majority of the duties performed
during the shift involve the handling of pyrotechnic product. The list of qualifying shifts will be pre-
determined based on the definition above. Qualifying shifts for conventions and special events will be
determined on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Management.
C. Eligibility
To be eligible for the pyrotechnic shift premium, the TERP employee must work a designated qualifying
shift. The handling of pyrotechnic product in itself does not constitute eligibility for this premium, however
the Company will pay the pyrotechnic premium to Technicians while delivering pyrotechnics to rooftops.
161
The Company will designate the TERP employees that will be given the option to receive the pyro
certification.
Upon designation by the Company, the TERP will receive an overview presented by Leadership with a
Shop Steward present where the following topics will be reviewed:
1. Pyrotechnic Shift Premium Language
2. Mandatory background check
3. Option to shadow Pyrotechnics Crew at either Reflections of Earth (ROE) or Wishes, in order for
TERP employee to have full understanding of the responsibilities associated with a pyro position
4. Option to opt out of pyrotechnics certification without penalty
5. Requirement that TERP employee must follow all safety precautions and use necessary safety
devices while operating any Company equipment
The option for a TERP employee to opt out of the Pyrotechnics training is only valid until the beginning of
the Pyrotechnics training class. Once the TERP employee has started the training, the TERP employee
will be subject to the same terms and conditions that apply to Full Time employees.
D. Acknowledgment
Once the overview is completed, the TERP employee will be required to sign an acknowledgment of the
following:
1. The overview has been completed
2. Offered opportunity to shadow Pyrotechnics crew at either ROE or Wishes
3. Understanding of the opt out option
4. Understanding of the requirement to follow all safety precautions and use necessary safety devices
while operating any Company equipment
5. The TERP employee has decided to either:
a. move forward with the Pyrotechnics training, or
b. opt out of the Pyrotechnics training
A Full Time Entertainment Technician who is returning to the Company as a TERP employee will be

ARTICLE 10. TRAINING PREMIUM
TERPs who are approved as trainers will be eligible to perform as trainers in the absence of any
approved Full Time employees and will receive the Training Premium as outlined in the Main Body
Agreement.
