Gentlemen:

This refers to previous correspondence and conferences
about the servicing of the Naval Depot at Hastings, Nebraska by
road crews.

Our latest conference to discuss this subject was held
on May 19, 1969 with the following in attendance:

Representing Union Pacific Railroad Company:

J. H. Kenny, Assistant to Vice Pres - Labor Relations

P. A. Jordan, Supervisor of Wage Schedules

A. L. Young, Supervisor of Wage Schedules

Representing,- the Or.ganizations:

S. G. Becker, General Chairman, BofLE

R, J. Green, General Chairman, UTU(S)

W. R. Sippel, General Chairman. UTU(C)

J. R. Dennis, Secretary, UTU(T)

During our conference it was agreed that there is no
agreement base for any additional allowances to crews servicing
this plant. That is, there is no rule or special agreement
that would give road crews additional time or miles simply for
serving the Naval Depot. It was your position, however, that
road crews are required to go varying distances within this
plant and you requested some sort of an allowance to such crews
on an equity basis.

It was agreed in conference that solely on an equity
basis, with the distinct understanding an additional allowance
is not required under the rules agreement, road crews required to
service this plant will be allowed the additional miles traveled
as an arbitrary, independent of the road trip, with additional
miles not to be added to the road trip miles in computing overtime.
It was also agreed in conference that the distances involved will
be determined by actual measurement.

This agreement is effective June 1, 1969 and will
continue in effect until terminated by service of a ten-day
written notice by any party to the agreement upon any other party
to the agreement.

Yours truly,

ACCEPTED:

General Chairman, BofL2
