    Effective July 1, 1993, all standard basic daily rates of pay in effect on June 30, 1993 for employees represented by the United Transportation Union shall be increased by three (3) percent, computed and applied in the same manner prescribed in Section 2 above.

    Effective July 1, 1994, all standard basic daily rates of pay in effect on June 30, 1994 for employees represented by the United Transportation Union shall be increased- by four (4) percent, computed and applied in the same manner prescribed in Section 2 above.

    The standard basic daily rates of pay produced by application of the increases provided for in this Article are set forth in Appendix 1, which is a part of this Implementing Document.

    (a) Duplicate time payments, including arbitraries and special allowances that are expressed in time, miles or fixed amounts of money, and mileage rates of pay for miles run in excess of the number of miles comprising a basic day, will not be subject to the adjustments provided for in this Article.

    (b) In engine service and in train and yard ground service, miscellaneous rates based upon hourly or daily rates of pay, as provided in the schedules or wage agreements, shall be adjusted under this Implementing Document in the same manner as heretofore increased under previous wage agreements.

    (c) In determining new hourly rates, fractions of a cent will be disposed of by applying the next higher quarter of a cent.

    (d) Daily earnings minima shall be changed by the amount of the respective daily adjustments.

    (e) Standard monthly rates and money monthly guarantees applicable in passenger train service shall be thirty times the new standard daily rates. Other than standard monthly rates and money monthly guarantees shall be so adjusted that money differentials existing as of June 30, 1991 shall be preserved.

    (f) Existing monthly rates and money monthly guarantees applicable in train service other than passenger will be changed in the same proportion as the daily rate for the class of service involved is adjusted.

    (g) Existing money differentials above existing standard daily rates shall be maintained.

    (h) In local freight service, the same differential in excess of through freight rates shall be maintained.

    (i) The differential of $4.00 per basic day in freight and yard service, and 4$ per mile for miles in excess of the number of miles encompassed in the basic day in freight service, currently payable to engineers working without firemen on locomotives on which under the former National Diesel Agreement of 1950 firemen would have been required, shall be increased to $6.00 per basic day and 6$ per mile respectively, effective July 29, 1991. Effective that date the differential also shall be applicable to such engineers in passenger service. Such differential will be applied in the same manner as the local freight differential.

    (j) In computing the increases in rates of pay effective July 1, 1991 under Section 2 for firemen, conductors, brakemen and flagmen employed in local freight service, or on road switchers, roustabout runs, mine runs, or in other miscellaneous service, on runs of miles equal to or less than the number comprising a basic day, which are therefore paid on a daily basis without a mileage component, whose rates had been increased by "an additional $.40" effective July 1, 1968, the three (3) percent increase shall be applied to daily rates in effect June 30, 1991, exclusive of car scale additives, local freight differentials, and any other money differential above existing standard daily rates. For firemen, the rates applicable in the weight-on-drivers bracket 950,000 and less than 1,000,000 pounds shall be utilized in computing the amount of increase. The same procedure shall be followed in computing the increases effective July 1, 1993 and July 1, 1994. The rates produced by application of the standard local freight differentials and the above-referred-to special increase of "an additional $.40" to standard basic through freight rates of pay are set forth in Appendix 1 which is a part of this Implementing Documents.

(k) Other than standard rates:

    (i) Existing basic daily rates of pay other than standard shall be changed, effective as of the dates specified in Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof, by the same respective percentages as set forth therein, computed and applied in the same manner as the standard rates were determined.

    (ii) The differential of $4.00 per basic day in freight and yard service, and 4$ per mile for miles in excess of the number of miles encompassed in the basic day in freight service, currently payable to engineers working without firemen on locomotives on which under the former National Diesel Agreement of 1950 firemen would have been required, shall be increased to $6.00 per basic day and 6* per mile respectively, effective July 29, 1991. Effective that date the differential also shall be applicable to such engineers in passenger service. Such differential will be applied in the same manner as the local freight differential.

    (iii) Daily rates of pay, other than standard, of firemen, conductors, brakemen and flagmen employed in local freight service, or on road switchers, roustabout runs, mine runs, or in other miscellaneous service, on runs of miles equal to or less than the number encompassed in the basic day, which are therefore paid on a daily basis without a mileage component, shall be increased as of the effective dates specified in Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof, by the same respective percentages as set forth therein, computed and applied in the same manner as provided m paragraph (k)(i) above.

    (a) Effective July 1, 1991, all basic monthly rates of pay in effect on June 30, 1991 for dining car stewards represented by the United Transportation Union shall be increased by three (3) percent.
