MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT

between the

UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION - C&T

and

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY (EASTERN DISTRICT)

The parties signatory to the April 10, 1984, Prevention Program Companion Agreement recognized the need for a program that would rehabilitate trainmen who had violated Rule G. The Agreement provided for rehabilitation after an employe had been dismissed in certain cases that met the established criteria.

The parties realize that the time lag while waiting for toxicological tests to be confirmed, hearings scheduled, and the results of the hearing mailed, is in some cases detrimental to certain employes who wish to immediately enroll in the rehabilitation program. In order to provide a more timely opportunity and to continue to safeguard the rights of all concerned, the parties agree to amend the April 10, 1984 Companion Agreement by adding the following as a "note" to Section 1.

"NOTE: An employe who is scheduled for a hearing involving a Rule G offense and is eligible for the Companion Agreement may request to waive the hearing, accept the status of a dismissed employe and accept the terms and conditions of the Companion Agreement. The waiver shall be in writing and must be received by the Superintendent or his designated representative and accepted by the Carrier in writing prior to the start of the hearing."

To assist in the implementation to this, the parties also agree that the attached form will be used in such cases. The "note" and form are a part of the original agreement and employes using the form are subject to all other applicable sections of the Companion Agreement.

Signed at Omaha, Nebraska, this 19th day of October, 1992.
