UNION
PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY December 29, 1994 Agreement
12203019505 Mr
G A Eickmann Dear
Sir:
Side Letter dated November 1, 1989, of the Zone 200 Agreement of
September 21, 1988, reads in pertinent part as follows: During the negotiations which led to the ratification of
the Zone
200 Seniority Agreement dated September 21,
1988, the
question was raised concerning the obligations
and rights
of employees in the application of Section 5(3)
of the
Agreement, and it was understood that it was not
the intent
of Section 5(3) to
During recent discussions on this matter, the parties recognized
that as a result of Conductor-Only operations and the implementation of
Guaranteed Combination Extra Boards, it would be in the best interest of
all concerned to allow all employees with the opportunity to apply for
permanent vacancies and/or newly established positions in both road and
yard service. Accordingly, effective March 1, 1995, the above referenced
side letter will be cancelled in its entirety.
Effective upon this cancellation, the parties agree that under
Section 5(3) of the Seniority Zone 200 Agreement, employees working in
yard service who have satisfied the 120-day restriction of Section 5(b)
of the Dual Rights Agreement may submit bids for bulletined regular road
assignments. If such employees are successful bidders, they will be
considered as transferring to road service under the provisions of 5(a)
of the Dual Rights Agreement.
In making this application, the question arose as to what effect,
if any, this has to the present provision which permits yard service
employees to apply on road service extra boards. In that regard, the
parties fully agreed that this provision has not been altered in any
manner. Yard service employees who have satisfied the 120-day
restriction of Section 5(b) still have the right to make application to
road service extra boards.
If the foregoing properly reflects our understanding on this
matter, please execute in the space provided below.
Yours truly,
L A Lambert AGREED: G
A Eickmann
