C.            Oakridge-Klamath Falls and Dunsmuir-Oakridge service shall also be instituted and current Eugene-Klamath Falls service shall be discontinued.  Recognizing that some employees may commute to Oakridge from Eugene, if due to inclement weather at Oakridge after their return from Klamath Falls, the Carrier will assist with lodging at Oakridge if available. If requested an engineer may receive a two hour call for Oakridge service.

NOTE : The Carrier shall give  notice for the implementation of  service in (B) and (C) above if not given in the notice to implement this Zone 1 agreement.  The notice shall include the number of initial positions that will be changed.  Applications shall be accepted for 15 days for the new positions.  Engineers shall be notified of their assignment either by application or force in the seven days following close of applications.  Assignments shall be phased in beginning 30 days after the application closing date.  CMS will work with the local chairman with this process.  If additional positions are established within the first year, over and above the original number, the same process will be used.

D.            When the Portland-Oakridge and Oakridge-Klamath Falls service is started, additional traffic may result in both the transfer of positions  and an increase in new positions.  Both new and transferred will be covered under the provisions of this agreement for a two year period.  New positions at Portland will be determined by using the average number of pool turns in the first quarter 1998 as the baseline number.  One must remember that employees will be going to assignments in Dunsmuir, Oakridge and Portland.

E.            SP Engineers forced to Dunsmuir will be permitted to make application back to their original prior rights Zone.  The application must be on file within sixty (60) days of being forced and will be honored when vacancies of a minimum of thirty (30) days exist in the original SP prior right area of Zone 1 and there are no engineers their senior on reserve boards or demoted in that Zone.  If an engineer is recalled and declines the recall, then his/her application will be pulled and not reentered. (See relocation section on restrictions if relocation allowances are requested).
