Out sourced Valet at the Hilton

We have all heard what happened to Valet department at the Hilton. Something like that always causes fear in similar businesses. Does the potential exist in some form? Possibly, But their are many safe guards in place that would help avoid this.

The last time I read, the Gaming Control Act it stated that there must be an operational security department in place prior to a facility opening. Second, Article 2 of the collective agreement gives geographic location in or recognition clause. Third during our last set of negotiations , the employer made it very clear that any attempt to out source security would be a serious violation of the collective agreement, not to mention labour law. They stated themselves that any attempt to do so would be An Unfair Labour Practice Charge. Further to that it would be a Without Cause Termination, something that would be very difficult for them to explain at the Labour Board.
There are other things as well, let me know if you want me to carry on.

Hope this helps a little.
