MEDIATION
AGREEMENT
This Agreement made this 19th day of July, 1972 by and between the participating carriers listed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof and represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee and employees of such Carriers shown thereon and represented by the United Transportation Union (Enginemen).
The Carriers and the United Transportation Union desire at this time to establish a formal training program, which, together with on‑the‑job training, will accelerate training, qualifying and promotion of firemen (helpers) to the craft of Locomotive Engineers. They therefore enter into this Agreement:
ARTICLE I ‑ GENERAL
A. The Carrier will establish and maintain a training program to accelerate the training, qualifying and promotion of firemen (helpers) to the craft of Locomotive Engineers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
B. The recruitment, selection, employment and training of firemen (helpers) under this program shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin or sex.
ARTICLE II ‑ ELIGIBILITY
A. 1. Each firemen (helper) shall be given a seniority date as a fireman (helper) in accordance with applicable agreements now in effect.
Firemen (helpers) shall be required to accept training and promotion according to their relative standing on the Firemen's Seniority Roster in their respective seniority district, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
A. 2. Subsequent to the adoption of this Agreement, and except as provided herein, no employee, not previously qualified, shall be eligible to be promoted to the craft of locomotive engineer, without first entering the service as fireman (helper) and completing the training set forth herein.
B. 1. The Carrier will expedite the training, qualifying and promotion of firemen (helpers) having seniority date as such on the effective date of this Agreement, and such training, qualifying and promotion will be completed before the training, qualifying and promotion of new firemen (helpers) becomes applicable under the terms of this Agreement. In the application of this paragraph any existing agreement between the parties requiring a minimum length of service before a fireman (helper) is eligible for promotion is superseded by this Agreement, unless mutually agreed to the contrary by the parties on an individual Carrier.
Note:
This Agreement shall not require the training
or promotion of firemen
(helpers) of) seniority rosters on the effective date of
this Agreement who have not heretofore been required to accept promotion, including,
but not limited to firemen (helpers) who are physically disqualified, fixtures, non‑promotables under
certain court decisions or non ‑promotables
by reason of discipline.
B. 2. Firemen (helpers) who are engaged in an accelerated training program under existing agreements on individual railroads will continue their training to completion in accordance with the terms of such agreements notwithstanding the modification of such agreements as provided herein.
B. 3. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs B. 1 and B. 2 above, all firemen (helpers) hired subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement will be required to enter the training program within one year from the date of their employment and be continued therein until completion of the training program which shall not exceed six months. Length of service requirements in existing agreements between the parties are hereby modified to conform to this paragraph unless mutually agreed to the contrary by the parties on an individual Carrier.
C. Firemen (helpers) having a seniority date as such on the effective date of this Agreement who have failed promotional examinations under existing agreements prior to the effective date of this Agreement will be given consideration for retraining by the General Chairman and the Carrier.
D. No fireman (helper) shall be deprived of his rights to examination, nor to promotion in accordance with his relative standing on the firemen's roster, because of any failure to take his examination by reason of the requirements of the company's service, by sickness, or by other proper leave of absence; provided, that upon his return he shall be immediately called and required to take examination and accept proper assignment.
E. If a junior fireman (helper) is promoted out of turn, such junior fireman (helper) will rank below any senior fireman (helper) as an engineer, when such senior fireman (helper) completes the program and is given a certificate as an engineer, unless agreements on an individual Carrier provide otherwise.
F. If there is an immediate need for locomotive engineers on a particular seniority district on the effective date of this Agreement, fireman (helpers) may be required to enter the training program in seniority order irrespective of their length of service as firemen (helpers).
ARTICLE III‑ TRAINING
PROGRAM
A. The training program shall consist of classroom instruction and work experience as determined by the Carrier. As necessary, classrooms, books, materials and instructions shall be furnished by the Carrier.
B. Examinations will be prepared and administered by the Carrier.
C. The training program and any intended substantial changes therein shall be reviewed from time to time by the Carrier Representative and the UTU(E) General Chairman.
D. The General Chairmen shall be furnished the name and address of each fireman (helper) entering the training program, showing the date he is placed in training. Further, the General Chairmen will be advised by the Carrier of the names and location of the supervisors in charge of administering the training program.
E. The Carrier shall establish a training program schedule and if the schedule does not require attendance on a day or days of a calendar week, firemen (helpers) will be considered assigned to the training program but will be permitted to return to their home point and back to training point at their expense. Under these circumstances a fireman (helper) will not be permitted to mark up for service.
F. When firemen (helpers) are not assigned to scheduled training programs they shall be required to exercise their seniority with the understanding that in so doing they will meet experience requirements in various classes of service on the individual Carrier.
G. As near as practicable, training days will be scheduled not to exceed eight hours, it being recognized however that single trips for on‑the‑job training may of necessity exceed such hours.
H. Firemen (helpers) assigned to a scheduled training program will not be used in other service prior to completion of the training program if any qualified regular or extra engine service employee can be used. On days firemen (helpers) assigned to a scheduled training program are not scheduled for training they will not be permitted to exercise their seniority or work extra.
If a fireman (helper) is used in other service during a scheduled training program his earnings for that service will be in addition to the weekly rate set forth in this Agreement.
I. A fireman (helper) will not be required to make on‑the‑job training trips on a seniority district other than that for which he is being trained, unless mutually agreed to by the parties on the individual Carrier.
J. Firemen (helpers) who, after starting the training program, are unable to continue the training due to sickness or proper leave of absence will not be regarded as having failed. The decision as to whether they must start the program at the beginning or at another point in the program will be made by the Instructor(s) after consulting with the UTU(E) Representative.
K. If not otherwise provided by the Carrier, firemen (helpers) will be reimbursed for actual, reasonable, and necessary travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred while engaged in orientation and classroom instructions when headquartered at points beyond commuting distances from their place of residence.
L. A fireman (helper) undergoing on‑the‑job training shall receive lodging accommodations or allowances in lieu thereof and meal allowance as provided under the applicable UTU(E) agreement on the individual Carrier.
M. When a Carrier requires work experience on assignments that otherwise would not be available to individual firemen (helpers) in time to permit compliance with the requirements of the training program, the Carrier will designate a sufficient number of such assignments on which firemen (helpers) may exercise their seniority for the period necessary to satisfy such requirements. In such cases the fireman (helper) will not be subject to displacement until he has accumulated the necessary work experience, except he may be displaced by a senior fireman (helper) who would otherwise be placed in a furloughed status.
N. A fireman (helper) may be forced from his regular assignment to permit a fireman (helper) in training to obtain necessary work experience on such assignment. When a senior fireman (helper) is forced from his assignment by a firemen (helper) his junior under such circumstances, he will be paid not less than he would have been paid on the assignment from which he was removed.
0. Adequate records of firemen (helpers) on‑the‑job and classroom training progress shall be maintained and reviewed with the General Chairman on request.
ARTICLE IV‑ COMPLETION OF
PROGRAM SATISFACTORILY
Upon successful completion of the training program, the fireman (helper) shall be certified as a qualified locomotive engineer, and shall be awarded a certificate so stating and shall acquire arid maintain engineer's seniority in accordance with all applicable agreements. Upon such certification the Carrier shall supply the UTU(E) General Chairman with the names of the firemen (helpers) so certified and the date or the certification.
ARTICLE V ‑ FAILURE TO
COMPLFTE SATISFACTORILY
A. When, in the opinion of the Carrier Instructor(s), it becomes apparent that a fireman (helper) will not complete the training satisfactorily, he will be required to consult with the Carrier Instructor(s) and a Representative of the UTU(E) for the purpose of identifying and possibly overcoming the problem.
B. If a fireman (helper) under this training program fails to pass the required final examination on the first attempt, he will be given a second opportunity to pass such examination. The second examination will be taken not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days following failure of the first examination. The second examination will be held at the same point as the first examination if practicable or unless otherwise mutually agreed upon.
During the period while awaiting and taking the re‑examination, firemen (helpers) will not be compensated nor allowed any expenses as firemen (helpers) under this Agreement, but they will be permitted to sit in on any classroom instructions given to other firemen (helpers).
During the period while awaiting and taking the second examination firemen (helpers) may exercise their seniority.
Failure to complete the training program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or failure to pass the final examination on the second attempt will result in termination of service.
ARTICLE VI ‑ COMPENSATION
DURING TRAINING
A. Firemen (helpers) shall lie paid a minimum of $653.56* per calendar week, subject to increases commensurate with those granted firemen in national negotiations, while actively participating in the training program. This payment shall comprehend all time consumed in the training program. To receive the full rate, the fireman (helper) must be available for a maximum of six days per calendar week commencing on Sunday. The prorated daily rate may be deducted for each day in such calendar week a fireman (helper) is riot available of his own volition, provided that no deduction will be made for days on which training is not scheduled. Prorated daily rate will be computed on the basis of the number of days comprising the training week. For all days in excess of six in a calendar week that a fireman (helper) is required to participate in the training program, he shall be paid the prorated daily rate. [See amendment for overtime rate over 48 hours.]
B. A fireman (helper) having a seniority date on the effective date of this Agreement shall be compensated while engaged in the scheduled training program not less than the amount he would have earned on the regular assignment he held at the time of entry into the training program.
Should a fireman (helper) be assigned to an extra list, his earnings during training will be determined on the basis of the average earnings of the extra list at the time he was removed therefrom for training purposes. Such determination shall be computed on the basis of the average earnings of the extra list at the last regulating period but in no event shall his earnings exceed the maximum mileage for extra men as set forth in schedule rules on the individual Carrier.
Compensation during training for a regularly assigned or extra fireman (helper) shall be not less than the weekly rate set forth in Paragraph A of this Article.
Firemen (helpers) who enter the training program from other than a regular assignment or an extra list will be compensated as set forth in Paragraph A of this Article.
The earnings guarantee herein provided will be proportionately reduced for any scheduled training day that a fireman (helper) is absent of his own volition.
C. A fireman (helper) entering the training program who has established an earnings guarantee under the provisions of the Washington Job Protection Agreement, the Agreement of January 27, 1972 between the Carriers and the UTU, an employee protective agreement arising out of a transaction approval by the Interstate Commerce Commission under Section 5 of the Interstate Commerce Act, or in employee protective agreement arising out of the Rail Passenger Transportation Act of 1970, or an earnings guarantee or similar character, will not have such guarantee reduced account of his participation in this training program. However, there will be no duplication of payments under this Agreement and such protective agreements
D. Firemen (helpers) in the training program will receive the benefits under Group Policy Contract GA-23000, (is amended, or such other health and welfare program as may be in effect on the individual carrier provisions of Article IX of the Agreement of September 14, 1968, and National Vacation Agreement', (Including the interpretation of the Continuous Service Provisions of January 18, 1956) in effect with the UTU(E)
E. Existing agreements between the parties which provide for the payment of daily, weekly, or monthly rates of pay in excess of those set forth in this Agreement for training, qualification and promotion ()I firemen (helpers), or which provide for payment of an allowance for instructor(s) or which provide for preservation of the without fireman rates of pay, will remain in full force and effect unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties on the individual Carrier.
ARTICLE VII ‑ SUPERVISION OF
FIREMEN (HELPERS) IN THE TRAINING PROGRAM
When firemen (helpers) participating in the training program are required to receive on-the-job training the engineer on the job selected will acquaint the fireman (helper) in training with the responsibilities and functions of engineers under actual working conditions, subject to the following:
A. The fireman (helper) in training will be permitted to operate the engine and perform other functions under direction of the engineer.
B. While the engineer cannot be relieved from his responsibility for the safe operation or his train and engine, he will not be held responsible for broken knuckles, damaged drawbars or rough handling when the engine is operated by the fireman (helper) in training.
C. The presence of a fireman (helper) in training will not affect the engineer rate of pay when operating without a fireman (helper).
Note: The use of the term "firemen (helper) in training' in this article refers to a fireman (helper) while actually engaged in the scheduled training program and who is being compensated pursuant to the provisions of Article VI Paragraphs A, B or C of this Agreement.
D. Engineer(s) will be required to complete progress reports as may be directed.
E. The provisions of this Article VII shall apply only on those Carriers where the UTU(E) represents the craft or class of Locomotive Engineers.
ARTICLE VIII ‑ SIMULATORS
AND OTHER TRAINING DEVICES
Provisions of existing agreements between the parties covering the use of simulators or other training devices used in the training of firemen (helpers) for promotion to locomotive engineer shall become part of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until canceled or amended in accordance with the specific terms of such agreements.

In accordance with our understanding, this is to confirm that, in the granting of vacations to firemen (helpers) subject to the provisions of the Operating Vacation Agreement of April 29, 1949, as amended, who have transferred (without a break in the employment relationship) to that class of service from a class of service not covered by an agreement held by an organization signatory to the Operating Vacation Agreement of April 29, 1949, all service rendered for the carrier in the class or classes of service not so covered will be counted in establishing the requirements of such Agreement as to the years of continuous service, the days of service rendered during the years of continuous service and the service rendered in the calendar year preceding the year in which the vacation is taken in the same manner as if the service not covered had been subject to the provisions of the Operating Vacation Agreement.
Will you please confirm your acceptance of this understanding by affixing your Signature in the space provided therefor below.
Yours very truly,

AND TRAINING
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this 25th day of August 1978 by and between the participating carriers listed in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, and represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee, and the employees of such carriers shown thereon and represented by the United Transportation Union, Witnesseth:
IT IS HEREBY AGREED:
A. The parties hereto agree that the Agreement of July 19, 1972 relating to Manning and Training are hereby amended in the following respects:
1. Paragraph A of Article VI ‑‑Compensation During Training‑ of the July 19, 1972 Training Agreement is amended by adding as a new paragraph thereto the following:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, firemen, while being paid the weekly minimum rate provided for by this Paragraph A, shall receive additional pay for time spent in excess of 48 hours during a calendar week in on‑the‑job training. Such time will be paid for on a minute basis at an hourly rate equal to 3.125% of the weekly rate. "
NOTE: The above provision shall not apply on any carrier on which the weekly rate provided for in Paragraph VI, A does not apply unless within 30 days from the date of this Agreement the General Chairman elects to revert to such rate and so notifies the Carrier.
2. Article I‑Employment of Firemen (Helpers)‑of the July 19, 1972 Manning Agreement is amended by adding the following Note to Section 3(a):
"NOTE: For the purpose of this Section, the maximum applicable regulating factor applicable to yard engineers subject to a five‑day work week Agreement will be not more thin 26 days per month. "
3. Section 5 of Article III‑Employment Protection and Exercise of Seniority‑of the July 1, 1972 Manning Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph (I):
'(i) Notwithstanding other provisions of this Section 5, a carrier may reduce the number of firemen on a seniority district equal to the reduction in the number of engineer positions of that district as the result of emergency conditions such as flood, snowstorm, hurricane, earthquake, fire or strike; provided that the application of the foregoing shall not result in the furlough of firemen employed on or before September 7, 1978. As the number of engineer positions reduced because of emergency conditions are restored, an equal number of firemen furloughed under this provision will he returned to service. Any reduction in the number of engineer miles or days because of an emergency condition resulting in reduction in the number of firemen under this paragraph (i), will not he taken into account in the 14-day determinations under paragraphs (b) through (e) of this section. It is further understood and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee that is affected by such an emergency force reduction and reports for work for his position without being previously notified not to report, shall receive 4 hours pay at the applicable rate for his position.
