ITEM ‑ 41(h)
MODIFICATION OF RULE 41
It is agreed that the
provisions of Rule 41 of the current agreement between the Order of Railway
Conductors and Brakemen and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Union Pacific
Railroad Company‑Eastern District, effective June 1, 1941, are hereby
modified with respect to its application on the Second District, Grand Island
(Hastings) ‑North Platte, Nebraska Division, to the extent herein
provided:
Note: It is understood that unless otherwise
specifically provided herein where reference is made to the home terminal Grand
Island, the same conditions and provisions apply to Hastings when crews are
operated into or out of Hastings.
1. Pool freight crews who are
run around by other pool freight crews in Grand Island yard, or enroute between
Grand Island and North Platte, will upon arrival at North Platte be given the
same relative position on the list at North Platte that they held prior to
leaving Grand Island, except that crews with less time to work than required by
Rules 42(a) and (b) of current schedule, or who become first out before having
required rest, shall stand first out after rest period, and upon return to Grand
Island shall be given same relative position on board as was held prior to
leaving Grand Island on last trip.
2. Pool freight crews who are
run around by other pool freight crews in North Platte yard, or enroute between
North Platte and Grand Island, will upon arrival at Grand Island be given the
same relative position on the list at Grand Island that they held prior to
leaving North Platte except as provided in Section 1.
3. (a) Crews earning 240 miles
or more on any one‑way trip either out of Grand Island or North Platte,
will take a new position on the board as per their arrival at such terminal and
will advise the crew caller accordingly.
(b) Crews making short
turn‑around trips out of Grand Island who earn 200 miles or less will
stand first out after 12 hours unless they become first out prior to that time
and will advise crew caller accordingly
(c) Crews making short
turn‑around trips out of North Platte will take position on list at North
Platte as per arrival at North Platte, and will take position on list at Grand
Island as per arrival at Grand Island on next trip.
(d) Crews tying up between
terminals and receiving legal rest will take a new position on board as per
arrival at such terminals.
4. When it is impossible to
transport crews between Grand Island and Hastings, due to storms, flood, etc.,
making it necessary to establish a pool at Hastings, crews will take position on
board per arrival at Hastings. When the pool is abolished, crews at Hastings
will be given the same relative position on the list at Grand Island as they
held prior to leaving home terminal on last trip. If it is not possible to take
same relative position, the crew will be placed first out at Grand Island.
5. Crews requesting rest in
accordance with Rule 71 will retain their position on the blue print board. In
the event the crew is run around during rest period, they will be placed first
out at the expiration of their rest period.
6. Crews that double out of
far terminal and are relieved enroute due to insufficient time will be given
same relative position on list at home terminal as held prior to departure from
far terminal.
7. Crews added to pool in
accordance with schedule Rule 38 will not be considered as run around when other
pool crews arriving at Grand Island after 12:01 A.M. are placed ahead of them
under the provisions of this agreement.
8. Upon arrival at Grand
Island or North Platte, trainmen who have been run around as indicated in
paragraphs 1 and 2, will notify proper officer as to their standing on the list
at Grand Island or North Platte. The Company will not be subjected to penalty
payments because trainmen fail to furnish information or furnish incorrect
information. This does not, however, estop the management from taking
disciplinary action when it is developed the employee have furnished incorrect
information, and no runarounds will be claimed because crews did not depart in
their first‑in, first‑out order at Grand Island or North Platte.
This agreement will become
effective August 1, 1957 and supersedes the agreement dated December 15, 1950.
It will automatically terminate ten (10) days after service of notice by either
party upon the other of desire to terminate it, at which time the schedule rules
affected by this agreement will be in full force and effect.
Dated at Omaha, Nebraska, this third day of July, 1957.
