APPENDIX A

ARBITRATION AWARD  
Between
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY  
and  
UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION  
(Former Western Pacific/ Idaho and  
South Central Territories)

Effective with the implementation of this Award, the existing Conductor-Only Crew Consist Agreements covering the territories in question will also now include the following:

(1) The crew consist for all crews in yard, local, road switcher and nonrevenue service may operate as one conductor or one foreman, subject to the following:

(a) For all service rendered within the terminal of the crews, there shall be no work event limitations nor shall the arbitrary allowance apply.

(b) For services rendered outside of the crews terminal, the arbitrary allowance will apply after the crews are instructed to and perform more than three (3) work events.

NOTE 1: Nonrevenue service includes work, wrecker and Hours of Service relief service.

NOTE 2: All Hours of Service relief for yard, local, road switcher and nonrevenue service shall be operated conductor-only and shall be subject to the work event limitations set forth in (1)(a) and (1)(b), above, but such limitation shall not be combined with any work events which may have been performed by the crew being relieved.

(2) A work event is as defined in the applicable conductor-only agreement for each territory.

(3) Terminal, as used in this Award, is defined as a bulletined on/off duty point for crews.  The limits of a terminal are prescribed by agreement, bulletin or accepted practice.

(4) The Carrier may also establish single position utility jobs in terminals to assist road and/or yard assignments in the performance of terminal work.  Such single utility jobs will be paid the appropriate yard foreman rate.

(5) Crews may be operated with a larger crew than provided for in this Award should the Carrier deem it necessary. However, if a bulletined conductor-only or foreman-only permanent assignment is worked with a brakeman or helper, eight or more times within a payroll period, the permanent assignment must be rebulletined as a permanent conductor/brakeman or foreman/helper assignment for the next payroll period.

(6) All extra/unassigned assignments in yard, local, road switcher and/or nonrevenue service may also operate as conductor/foreman-only assignments subject to the conditions set forth in (1)(a) and (1)(b), above.

(7) The additional special allowances provided to the crew member for conductor-only operation under the existing conductor-only Crew Consist Agreements will apply equally to a crew member of conductor/foreman-only operations (whether permanent, extra and/or unbulletined).

(8) This Award will supercede any Agreements, understanding and/or process which may be in conflict herewith.

(9) This Award will be effective thirty (30) days from the date of the Award.  During that thirty (30) day period, the Carrier shall bulletin all permanent conductor-only, foreman-only and utility assignments to be effective on implementation day.  However, nothing in this section shall prevent the Carrier from bulletining additional permanent conductor-only, foreman-only or utility assignments in the future or from changing and/or abolishing such assignments in the future.
