LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME
Upon ratification of this Agreement, current and active Team Members will receive one additional paid day off as a “ratification bonus” to be used in a manner consistent with the Employer’s Paid Personal/Sick Days policy as set forth in Article 5.03.
Team Members with “good attendance” for the duration of each contract year following ratification earn one (1) unpaid day off to be scheduled and used in the next contract year in the same way as a Paid Personal/Sick day. A Team Member will be considered to have “good attendance” if he/she receives three (3) points or less during the contract year. Calculation of good attendance shall begin with the ratification date of the Agreement and shall run for the period of the contract year. A new calculation will start each year on the anniversary date of ratification of this Agreement. During years subsequent to year one of the Agreement, the Company will not consider discipline issued in prior contract years in calculating good attendance.
81
LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME
(1) For purposes of calculating vacation and personal/sick time, the parties agree that a day shall mean 8 hours for purposes of pay. With respect to scheduling time off, the parties agree that Team Members who are normally scheduled to work a schedule other than 8 hours shall be paid for the hours normally scheduled (i.e., Team Member scheduled to work 6.5 hours would receive 6.5 hours for each vacation sick/personal day taken and Team Members scheduled to work 10 hours would receive 10 hours for each vacation or sick/personal day taken up to their vacation allotment). In the event a Team Member has less than the number of vacation and personal/sick time hours normally scheduled to work, the Team Member may elect to take pay in lieu, take the number of hours left during the shift, or take the entire shift off when utilizing the time.
(2) During negotiations the parties agreed to add to Article 5.01. “FMLA” hours shall be counted as eligible “hours” for purposes of satisfying the 1,800 hours requirement regarding the amount of paid vacation time allotted to Team Members per year. Currently, the Employer’s payroll system does not track FMLA as paid time, although a new system is being implemented. As a result the parties agree that the benefit granted will be implemented upon the payroll’s system ability to track paid FMLA hours versus unpaid hours. In the event that the new payroll system isn’t implemented by March 1, 2008, the Union will be so notified and alternative means of processing the benefit will be discussed. During the interim period Team Members who believe they have lost vacation time because of unpaid FMLA time granted after October 17, 2007, should present documentation to the Labor Relations Department for correction of the record.
(3) Employer will not unilaterally deduct from a Team Member’s personal/sick time bank unless requested by the Team Member.
82
LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
ARTICLE 5 – VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND PERSONAL/SICK TIME

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (hereinafter called the“Company”) and the Detroit Casino Council (hereinafter called the “Council”).
The parties hereby establish the following procedure for the purpose of ensuring an orderly environment for the exercise of employee rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act and to avoid picketing and/or other economic action directed at enterprises that are owned, managed, developed or controlled by theCompany in the City of Detroit in the event the Council decides to conduct an organizing campaign at such enterprises.
The parties mutually recognize that national labor law guarantees employees the right to form or select any labor organization to act as the employees’ exclusive bargaining representative for the purpose of collective bargaining with theCompany, or to refrain from such activity.
TheCompanywill take a neutral approach to unionization of employees employed in classifications listed in Exhibit 1 of this Agreement. TheCompany will inform such employees that it has no objection to their selection of a collective bargaining agent. TheCompany will not take any action nor make any statement that will directly or indirectly state or imply to such employees any opposition by theCompany to the selection by such employees of a collective bargaining agent, or preference for or opposition to any particular Union as a bargaining agent.
The Council and its representatives will not coerce or threaten any employee or make disparaging comments about theCompany in an effort to obtain authorization cards.

|
(2) | Current Address; |

If, however, theCompany’s new operation is not a stand-alone casino, but a hotel or restaurant facility, theCompanywill recognize the Council’s appropriate member Union(s) as such representative(s) of theCompany’semployees at the new operation. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Council and Greektown Casino will not be automatically extended.
TheCompany will not file a petition with the National Labor Relations Board for any election in connection with any demands for recognition provided for in this Agreement.
During the life of this Agreement, the Council will not engage in picketing or other economic activity at any operation covered by this Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that this Memorandum of Agreement, which shall expire on October 16,2011, shall be inapplicable to any enterprise of theCompany outside of Detroit, Michigan.
The parties agree that any disputes over the interpretation or application of this Section shall be submitted to arbitration, with James Statham, or any other mutually acceptable person, as the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to determine the arbitration procedures to be followed. The arbitrator shall also have the authority to order the non-compliant party to comply with this Section. The parties hereto consent to the entry of any order of the arbitrator as the order or judgment of the United States District Court for the appropriate jurisdiction, without entry of findings of fact and conclusions of law.

SIDE LETTER # 1
TEAM MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (“TMAP”)
The Employer and the Union hereby express their determination to work jointly to combat personal problems including substance abuse, problem gaming, and improving mental health among Team Members and their families.
Alcoholism and drug dependency are recognized by medical, public health authorities, Greektown and the Union as diseases. These diseases can impair Team Members’ abilities to function in their lives and on their jobs.
The causes of personal problems including alcoholism, drug dependency, problem gaming and mental health disorders are not well understood and cures are difficult. Nonetheless, Greektown and the Union believe that constructive measures are possible to deal with these problems, which can be a major cause of family breakdown and are related to personal breakdown and violence in the community.
It is important for the parties to this Agreement to:
| | |
| 1. | Generate a climate in the workplace, which strives to minimize the effects of the social stigma associated with mental disorders, problem gaming, alcoholism, drug dependency, and other personal problems, which act as barriers to Team Members seeking help to resolve such personal problems. |
| | |
| 2. | Insist that the joint organization at all levels exercise their best efforts toward the objective of earlier identification and motivation of Team Members to take advantage of Team Member Assistance Program (“TMAP”) services. |
| | |
| 3. | Assure confidentiality in working with Team Members. |
| | |
| 4. | Assist in developing educational and informational materials to use at the workplace. |
| | |
I. | Objectives. |
The objectives of this joint effort are to help Team Members and their families develop healthier life styles and enhance the effectiveness of the workforce. Further, the purpose of the TMAP is designed to help prevent the development of personal problems and provide access for treatment and after care for those already affected.
93
Greektown and the Union acknowledge that neither Management nor the Union working alone can always provide the level of motivation required by Team Members experiencing personal problems. As a result, joint efforts are imperative in encouraging the individuals to seek TMAP services, as needed, to respond successfully to treatment and to maintain a resolve to avoid further personal problems.
An Advisory TMAP Team (“Team”) will be formed to facilitate the joint efforts. The Team will be comprised of five (5) representatives from Greektown and five (5) representatives from the Union. The Team will meet quarterly for the purpose of developing workplace education and to provide direction and consultation regarding the program. Team Members who participate in the Team are required to undergo forty (40) hours of training in the initial year of this Collective Bargaining Agreement and twenty-four (24) hours of training per year for the duration of the contract term. Team Members will be compensated straight time hourly rates for such training and for up to two (2) hours per quarter for Team meetings.
| |
III. | Team Member Assistance Program Administration. |
Among the responsibilities of the Team are to:
| | |
| 1. | Help Team Members understand that they may consult on a confidential basis with the TMAP vendor concerning the Team Member’s problem. |
| | |
| 2. | Work with the TMAP vendor to establish and maintain active after care and follow-up programs. The Team should help Team Members understand the therapeutic benefits of self-help groups and encourage such participation. |
| | |
IV. | Acknowledgment. |
| |
Greektown and the Union acknowledge that: |
| |
| 1. | Nothing in this statement is to be interpreted as constituting any waiver of Management’s right to enforce discipline or discharge as set forth in Article 22 or the right to invoke disciplinary measures in the case of misconduct which may result from or be associated with the use of alcohol, drugs or personal problems. The Union may exercise its right to process grievances concerning such matters in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in Article 23. |
94
| | |
| 2. | During or following treatment the Team Member should not expect any special privileges or exemptions from standard personnel practices. |
| | |
| 3. | When a Team Member requests a leave of absence to undergo medical treatment for alcoholism, drug dependence, problem gaming or personal problems in or from an appropriate facility in accordance with this program, and when the Team Member has voluntarily submitted to such treatment, a leave of absence may be granted pursuant to Article 14 of this Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Team Member will be eligible for benefits in accordance with Article 14 (Leave of Absence). |
| | |
| 4. | A Team Member who is not working due to participation in TMAP services shall retain and accrue seniority and its related privileges in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the parties provided in Article 14 (Leave of Absence). |
| | |
V. | Additional Understandings. |
| |
The following represents the understanding arrived at between the parties: |
| |
| 1. | A key ingredient in combating personal problems lies in education, early identification and early intervention. Accordingly, the Team will consult with the TMAP vendor to develop a comprehensive education and training program directed at all levels of management, the Union, and the work force. |
| | |
| 2. | TMAP will maintain appropriate standards of performance measured against the objective models identified by the Team and the TMAP vendor. |
| | |
| 3. | TMAP will provide Critical Incident Response Service to Team Members and their families in the event of a serious or traumatic event in the work place or the community by being available to respond to the situation twenty-four (24) hours a day and seven (7) days a week. |
| | |
VI. | Special TMAP Conditions of Employment. |
| |
The following guidelines will be considered for individual cases/circumstances and may be included as conditions of continued employment as agreed to by Management, the Union and the Team Member: |
| |
| 1. | Participation in self-help meetings. Length of participation that will be required and frequency of meetings can be either specified |
95
| | |
| | in advance or left up to the discretion of the TMAP vendor/provider. |
| | |
| 2. | Mandatory completion of an aftercare plan, which might include antabuse, recommended by a treatment facility and monitored by the TMAP vendor. |
| | |
| 3. | Mandatory cooperation in follow-up and monitoring for a period of time specified by the TMAP vendor. |
| | |
| 4. | A specific period of total non-use of alcohol or other drugs can be agreed to between the parties. The parties must concur with this probationary period which is defined as not less than six (6) months nor more than two (2) years and it must be understood by all parties that resumed use could result in termination of employment. |
| | |
| 5. | Any conditions of continued employment agreed to by Management, the Union, and the Team Member are considered contractually binding and non-compliance could result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. The Team Member’s previous disciplinary record and action which may be taken for further misconduct will be reserved to the actual settlement of any dispute(s) involved and/or will be resolved between the Union and Human Relations. |
| | |
VII. | Confidentiality. |
| |
All members of the Team must maintain the strictest confidentiality in participating in the activities of the TMAP Team. |
| |
VIII. | Michigan Gaming Control Board. |
| |
All provisions of this Side Letter are subject to the rules and regulations of the Michigan Gaming Control Board. |
96

ARTICLE 10 – MEALS AND BREAKS

After consultation with the Labor Management Committee, the Company has the authority to make the final decision regarding the assignment of the new game to a particular Game Type. |
| | |
5. | Training For Initial Game Type. The Company may provide training to qualified candidates from inside and outside the Company at no charge. Training classes are offered on an as-needed basis, by seniority and shift, as determined by the Company. Training time is unpaid. |
113
| | | |
| (a) | Selection for Initial Game Type Training. |
| | | |
| | (1) | In-house Candidates. In-house applications are accepted for initial Game Type training on a first-come first-served basis. House seniority is used to select training class members in the event that more applications are received than openings in a training class. In-house applicants must meet the Company’s internal policy requirements for a position transfer, and successfully complete a mathematical aptitude test and departmental interview. If a transferee moves into a position requiring an initial or different MGCB license, the applicant must satisfy the licensing requirements of the MGCB. |
| | | |
| | (2) | Outside Candidates. Outside candidates must meet the Company’s recruiting requirements (including drug testing and background checks), and successfully complete a mathematical aptitude test. Outside candidates must also satisfy the licensing requirements of the MGCB. |
| | | |
| (b) | Determining Proficiency in Initial Game Type. Once a candidate has successfully completed the initial Game Type training and is transferred or hired into the Dealer Trainee classification, the Dealer Trainee is scheduled on the game for which he or she has been trained. Supervisors coach and assist Dealer Trainees to become proficient. Supervisors communicate with Casino Management regarding the progress of the Dealer Trainees. |
| | | |
| | (1) | Informal evaluation. Informal evaluation of Dealer Trainees is periodic and at the Company’s discretion. At any time during the 1000-hour training period for an Initial Game Type, a Supervisor may determine that a Dealer Trainee is not improving in skill and level of proficiency, and is therefore posing a risk to the Company. The Supervisor communicates with Casino Management who observes the Dealer Trainee live or through a videotape review. If Casino Management determines that the Dealer Trainee poses a risk to Company operations and does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency, the Dealer Trainee may either be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is |
114
| | | |
| | | subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below. |
| | | |
| | (2) | Formal Evaluation. Formal evaluation of Dealer Trainees is completed at three intervals: two Intermediate Evaluations and a Final Evaluation shortly after a Dealer Trainee has completed 1000 hours of dealing a particular Game Type. The two Intermediate Evaluations are corrective and coaching in nature. However, either of the Intermediate Evaluations may form the basis upon which the Company determines that a Dealer Trainee does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency. The Dealer Trainee may either be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below. |
| | | |
| | (3) | Final Evaluation. The Final Evaluation forms the basis upon which the Company determines whether or not the Dealer Trainee meets the required proficiency level. If the proficiency requirements are met, then the Dealer Trainee is advanced to the Dealer I classification. If the requirements are not met, the Dealer Trainee will be re-assigned or terminated. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. The foregoing is subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (4) below. |
| | | |
| | (4) | If a Dealer Trainee who transferred from another Greektown Casino job classification (a “Transferee”) notifies the Company during the initial 30-day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience that he/she desires to transfer back to his/her prior job classification, the Transferee shall be transferred back to that job classification (thereby causing the displacement of the individual in that job classification with the lowest seniority). If the Company determines pursuant to subparagraph (1), (2) or (3) above that a Transferee should be reassigned or terminated then (i) if the determination is made during the initial 30-day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience, the Transferee shall be transferred back to his/her prior job classification (thereby displacing the individual in that classification with the lowest seniority), and (ii) if the determination is made after that initial 30-day period but |
115
| | | |
| | | prior to expiration of the initial 90 day period in which the Transferee is acquiring his/her 1000 hours of dealing experience, then the Transferee will not be transferred back to his/her prior job classification but may apply for any vacant Greektown Casino job position for which he/she is qualified and will have recall rights to his/her former job classification for one year or the time period he/she was in that former job classification, whichever period is shorter. |
| | | |
6. | Training for Subsequent Game Types. This Section applies to Dealers who have attained the Dealer I classification or higher. Dealers may apply for training for any game for which the company offers training. (A dealer who applies for training and then does not complete the training will not be eligible to re-apply for any Dealer training for the one-year period commencing on the date his/her training class commenced.) Training is unpaid by the Employer. |
| | | |
| (a) | Selection for Subsequent Game Type Training. Department Seniority is used to select training class members. Department Seniority is defined as the date that a Team Member was hired or transferred into the Table Games Department. The last four digits of the Social Security Number, the lower number being the most senior, established Department Seniority for Team Members with the same hire or transfer date. The opportunity to learn a subsequent Game Type is only offered to Dealers in good standing with the Company. Good standing is defined as having no formal discipline for one year (or the period of time for which the Dealer has worked for the Company if between six months and one year, but not less than six months) and having an attendance record acceptable to the Company. |
| | | |
| (b) | Scheduling Subsequent Game Type Training. The Company will make a reasonable effort to schedule subsequent Game Type trainees in their new games so they may improve their skills and achieve the required levels of proficiency. However, the Company reserves the right to schedule work to accommodate sick calls and leaves of absence and to ensure that the maximum number and optimum mix of table games are open at all times. |
| | | |
| (c) | Determining Proficiency in Subsequent Game Types. |
| | | |
| | (1) | Informal Evaluation. Informal evaluation of subsequent Game Type trainees is periodic and at the Company’s discretion. At any time during the 300-hour training period for subsequent Game Types, a Supervisor may |
116
| | | |
| | | determine that a Dealer is not improving in skill and level of proficiency, and is posing a risk to the Company. The Supervisor communicates with Casino Management who observes the Dealer live or through videotape review. If Casino Management determines that the Dealer poses a risk to Company operations and does not show the aptitude necessary for reaching the required level of proficiency in the subsequent Game Type, the Dealer will be removed from the schedule for such subsequent Game Type assignments. The Dealer will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. |
| | | |
| | (2) | Formal Evaluation. Formal evaluation of subsequent Game Type trainees is completed at two intervals: an Intermediate Evaluation and a Final Evaluation shortly after the Dealer has completed 300 hours of dealing a subsequent Game Type. The Intermediate Evaluation is corrective and coaching in nature. However, the Intermediate Evaluation may form the basis upon which the Company determines that a subsequent Game Type Trainee does not show the aptitude necessary to continue and is removed from the schedule for such subsequent Game Type assignments. The Dealer will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. |
| | | |
| | (3) | Final Evaluation. The Final Evaluation forms the basis upon which the Company determines whether or not the subsequent Game Type Trainee meets the required proficiency level. If the proficiency requirements are met, then the Dealer is advanced to the appropriate classification. If the requirements are not met, the subsequent Game Type Trainee will maintain his or her current Dealer classification. The Company has the sole discretion to determine the action to be taken. |
| | | |
7. | Vacancies on Shifts. Vacancies on shifts will be posted periodically. “Qualified Dealers” may bid for vacant shifts. “Qualified Dealers” are dealers who have met the Proficiency Requirements and Experiential Requirements for all games listed in the applicable posting. Positions will be awarded on the basis of Department Seniority. |
