Section 6 of the National Vacation Agreement effective July 1, 1949, reads in part as follows:

"Vacations shall be taken between January 1st and December 31st; however, it is recognized that the exigencies of the service create practical difficulties in providing vacations in all instances. Due regard, consistent with requirements of the service, shall be given to the preference of the employee in his seniority order in the class of service in which engaged when granting vacations. Representatives of the carriers and of the employees will cooperate in arranging vacation periods, administering vacations and releasing employees when requirements of the service will permit."

In applying the above-quoted provision of agreement in a manner which will permit of orderly procedures in scheduling and granting vacations, it is agreed:

1. Superintendents will determine as soon as consistent the employees who are qualified for vacations of 7, 14, 21 or 28 days in accordance with the agreements effective January 1, 1965.

2. The classification of employees, that is, whether they are engineers or firemen, for the purpose of selecting vacation periods of 7, 14, 21 or 28 days, will be determined by the grade of service to which they are regularly assigned on November 15 prior to their vacation year.

3. List of engineers eligible for vacation will be prepared in seniority order for each seniority district, and copy furnished the local chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Similar lists of firemen and hostlers eligible for vacation will be furnished the local chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.

4. Local officers and local chairmen will determine to the best of their ability the number of engineers, firemen and hostlers on each seniority district who can be granted vacations throughout the year consistent with requirements of the service.

5. Engineers, firemen and hostlers will be given opportunity to select vacation periods in seniority order in each seniority district.

6. Vacations as selected in accordance with the above will be shown on the vacation schedule separately for engineers, firemen, and hostlers for each seniority roster and copy furnished the respective local chairmen. Dates selected will not be subject to change thereafter except that if it is found there is a surplus of men in any seniority district, employees desiring vacation at that time may be relieved on request of the individual and approval of the officer in charge, giving preference to senior men, and assigned vacation period cancelled.

7. If conditions will not permit the granting of vacation as scheduled, payment will be made in lieu thereof in conformity with the Vacation Agreement.

8. In cases where employee fails to select vacation period he will be assigned vacation period by local chairman and representative of the management.

9. Vacation periods will begin at 12:01 a.m., on the 1st, 8th, 16th and 23rd day of each month of the year. When the employee receives compensation chargeable to the day his vacation is schedules to begin, his vacation will begin at 12:01 a.m., on the following day.

(e) Vacation periods may not be deferred, except as provided in Section A.

(f) When a portion of the employee’s vacation has been taken in installments under Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section and when portions of an employee’s vacation have been advanced in accordance with Section A of this Agreement, all remaining portions of the employee’s vacation must be commenced on the first date set in the original vacation schedule, except as provided in subsection 2(a) of this section.

The final or last two or three weeks of December, as may be the case, will be reserved to such seniority employees. This exception for taking the remaining portion of a scheduled vacation shall not apply to any other employees nor to any other vacation period in the calendar year.

(b) The Company shall assume no additional expense in granting vacations in installments under this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the provisions of subsections 1(a) and 2(b) of Section B of this Agreement, employees working at outside points where extra boards are not maintained shall be privileged to take their vacations in installments; provided, however, that where deadheading is involved the following regulations shall apply:

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers requested an agreement to permit vacationing engineers to indicate, prior to the expiration of their vacation period, the date on which they will return; which, in turn, would permit release of engineers filling such vacation vacancies to return to their regular positions with a minimum loss of time.

THEREFORE, it is agreed:

Section 1. A regularly assigned engineer may report or service any time prior to the expiration of his vacation, but will not be eligible for service until 12:01 AM following the last day of his scheduled vacation.

Section 2. In the event an engineer holding a regular position in assigned or unassigned service is filling a vacation vacancy, he will be permitted to return to his regular position on the day prior to the expiration of the scheduled vacation when the assigned engineer has indicated his intent to return as provided in Section 1.

Section 3.

EXAMPLE: Engineer "A" holding a regular assignment in passenger service, takes his vacation May 1-28, inclusive, Engineer "B", holding a regular assignment in pool freight service, takes Engineer "A" ‘s vacancy. Engineer "A" reports for work the morning of May 28, but cannot go out on his regular passenger assignment until after 12:01 AM, May 29.

Engineer "B" will be advised as soon as consistent that Engineer "A" has okayed for service; and Engineer "B" will be permitted to return to his regular assignment in pool freight service on May 28.

This same procedure would be followed if Engineer "B" was assigned to any other service.

Section 4. It is understood the Company will incur no a additional expense and will not be penalized in any way in the application of this agreement

-Effective immediately the agreement of December 31, 1965 entitled, "Advancing and Deferring Vacation Periods", is modified to incorporate the following provisions

1. All or any portion of an employee’s vacation may be advanced or deferred subject to manpower and operational requirements. In the event several employees wish to advance or defer their vacations to the same period, seniority will prevail.

2. When a portion of a vacation is advanced or deferred the employee will specify what date he will commence the vacation remaining during originally scheduled period.

EXAMPLE: An employee with two weeks vacation is scheduled for the period July 1-14. He wishes to advance one week of it to June 1-7. He must specify which week will remain as originally scheduled -- the week July 1-7 or the week July 8-14.

3. It will no longer be necessary that an employee who has advanced or deferred his vacation be frozen to any portion of his originally scheduled vacation period.

4. An employee may make as many splits as he has weeks of vacation.

5. Gaps created by employees advancing or deferring vacations will be filled by the senior employee filing written application therefore.

6. Employees who desire to advance or defer all, or a portion of, their vacation period must make written application at least seven (7) days in advance of the desired change. This includes yard service employees adjusting their vacation periods to commence on the day following their designated days off.

All portions of the agreement of December 31, 1965 in conflict with the above are modified accordingly.

This agreement shall all be effective April 22, 1968, subject to the condition that it shall terminate 10 days after written notice is served by either of the parties upon the other.

Dear Sir:

ADVANCING OR DEFERRING VACATION PERIODS

FIVE-DAY WORK WEEK YARD ENGINEERS

Section-9 of the December 30, 1964 Vacation Agreement requires engineers to commence their vacation periods on the 1st, 8th, 16th, or 23^rd day of the month. Whenever five-day work-week assignments for engineers have been established, either by virtue of the July 18, 1957 Mediation Agreement for some assignments in a yard or by an agreement for all assignments in a yard, we have separately modified the 1964 Vacation Agreement to permit such five-day yard engineers to start their vacations on the first day of their work week immediately preceding or following one of the four mandatory starting dates.

To obviate the necessity of such a separate modifying agreement whenever some or all of the assignments in a yard are placed on a five-day workweek basis--

IT IS AGREED:

1. The provisions of Section 9 of the "Vacation Schedules" Agreement dated December 30, 1964 is modified for all engineers assigned to a five-day workweek basis-

2. Yard engineers regularly assigned to a five-day workweek assignment may commence their vacation on the first day of their workweek immediately preceding or following the 1st, 8th, 16th, or 23^rd day of the month. Rest days within the employee’s vacation period will be excluded.

3. This agreement shall be effective June 1, 1972 and will automatically terminate ten days after service or written notice by either party.

Yours truly,

ACCEPTED:
