the term of the Successor Agreement to protect and preserve the work of the employees currently working under the Previous Agreement, the Employer agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to require that as a prerequisite to subcontracting current bargaining unit work, the entity performing the subcontracted work shall be required to assume the Successor Agreement with respect to the subcontracted work.  If this prerequisite and assumption is not legally enforceable, then the Employer agrees to refrain from subcontracting current bargaining unit work to any subcontractor which does not observe the wages, hours and other economic conditions of employment equivalent to those established by the agreement, to the extent permissible by law.  For clarity, this subcontracting restriction only applies to work currently performed by the bargaining unit, which is (1) admissions personnel in the racing division, (2) telebet operators in the racing division and (3) mutual personnel in the racing division.  Further, the union acknowledges that any and all portions beyond the three enumerated positions in this paragraph may be subcontracted by Employer within the sole discretion of the Employer.

In Addition, the parties agree to conform Article VIII to this preceding language.

13.           Schedule C — Telebet Production — amend last sentence of first page of C to delete the words “… not … nor & but …” and replace with the work “… used … and …& and …”
