BRAKEMEN USED OFF ASSIGNMENT
IT IS AGREED:
1. A brakeman withheld from his
regular or temporary assignment and used in road service on an "irregular
assignment" as a brakeman when he does not stand for such work by virtue
of any rule or agreement will be "made whole" by the allowance of the
earnings of such irregular assignment or the earnings of his regular
assignment, whichever is the greater, plus 50 miles for each round trip or tour
of duty used on such irregular assignment.
NOTE 1: For the purposes of this
agreement "irregular assignment" means any job worked by the employe
in lieu of his regular or temporary assignment on which he was unable to
perform service because of being required to work such "irregular
assignment".
NOTE 2: An employe used on an "irregular
assignment" will be considered available for his regular or temporary
assignment if he has eight hours off duty after completing the "irregular
assignment".
EXAMPLES (1) a brakeman assigned to
pool freight service is used on an irregular assignment on November 1, making
100 miles. He misses his pool freight turn on November 1 which made 300 miles.
He will be allowed 350 miles (300 miles plus 50 penalty miles.)
(2) A brakeman assigned to pool
freight service is used on an irregular assignment on November 1, 2 and 3,
making 100 miles each day. He misses two pool freight turns - one turn on
November 1 and one turn on November 2 which made a total of 600 miles. He will
be allowed 750 miles (600 miles plus 150 penalty miles).
(3) A brakeman assigned to pool freight service is used on an irregular
assignment on November 1, making 100 miles. He misses no trips on his regular
pool freight assignment. He will be allowed 100 miles (no penalty account missing
no trips).
(4) A brakeman assigned to pool
freight service is used on an irregular assignment on November I and 2, making
'175 miles on November 1 and 200 miles on November 2. He misses one pool
freight turn on November 2 which made 300 miles. He will be allowed 475 miles
(375 miles plus 100 penalty miles).
(5) A brakeman assigned to pool
freight service is used on an irregular assignment on November 1 and 2, making
100 miles on each date. He misses his pool freight assignment on November 3
because he has only 4 hours off duty after completing his irregular assignment
on November 2. His pool freight turn made 300 miles on November 3. He will be
allowed 400 miles (300 miles plus 100 penalty miles).
(6) A brakeman assigned to D001
freight service is advanced in the pool, making 300 miles. His regular D001 turn
also makes 300 miles. He will be allowed 350 miles (300 miles plus 50 penalty
miles).
2. The Company will not be subject
to runaround claims as a result of using an employe off his assignment under
the provisions of this agreement.
3. This agreement is effective on
the first day of the month following the date it is signed by both parties, and
is in full and final settlement of the Organization's Notice dated April 10,
1968 served under the provisions of Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act, as
amended, requesting an agreement to provide for additional allowances when a
brakeman is used off his assignment.
