II.            SENIORITY INTEGRATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The following seniority consolidations for Zones 2 and 3 will be made:

A.     1. A new seniority district and master seniority roster shall be created for Zone

2. The master roster will be comprised of the following:

a.             Employees holding seniority, or in training, on the UP 3d Seniority District;

b.             Employees holding seniority, or in training, on the UP 4th Seniority District;

c.            Employees holding seniority, or in training, on the UP 5th Seniority District;

d.             Employees holding seniority, or in training, on the UP 9th Seniority District (former Spokane International Railroad);

e.             Employees holding seniority on the UP Idaho District Seniority Roster who elect, pursuant to this Agreement, to permanently relocate to Zone 2; and,

f.              Employees holding engineer seniority in Portland Hub Zone 1 and assigned to positions governed and protected by Article 11, Section B, Paragraph 5 of the Merger Implementing Agreement (Portland Hub Zone 1) between Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, dated August 13, 1998, who elect, pursuant to this Agreement, to permanently remain in Zone 2.

2.       The new master roster shall also include all engineers on the rosters identified above who are borrowed out to other locations but who will return to this zone upon their release. The new master roster will not, however, include engineers from outside Zone 2 who are borrowed out to locations in Zone 2.

3.      The Zone 2 master roster shall be created as follows:

a.   The engineers identified in Section A, Paragraph 1, above, shall be dovetailed and placed on the new master Zone 2 seniority roster based on their current engineer seniority date. Engineers from the 3^rd, 4^th, or 9th Seniority Districts will use their current engineer date on the applicable roster. Engineers permanently relocating from the Idaho Seniority District will be dovetailed and placed on the master roster based on their current engineer seniority date on the Idaho Seniority District. Engineers permanently relocating from Portland Hub Zone 1 will be dovetailed and placed on the master roster based on their current Portland Hub Zone 1 engineer seniority date.

b.  If, in the process of placing employees on this roster, several engineers have identical seniority dates, the ranking of such engineers will be determined by the following:

i.             If the employees have engineer seniority dates prior to November 1, 1985, they will be placed on the roster based on their earliest fireman seniority date on the involved roster. If the involved engineers have the same fireman seniority date, they shall be placed in the order of their earliest hire date with Carrier. If their hire dates are the same, and the procedure(s) set forth in Paragraph b.ii., below, do not resolve the matter of their roster placement, the parties shall promptly meet and agree regarding the proper roster placement and ordering for such employees.

ii.             If engineers from different rosters have the same seniority date, they shall be placed on the new master roster as follows:

(a)    Pre-November 1, 1985 engineers

[1].          Engineer's date and ranking as an engineer,

    [2].         Fireman's date and ranking as a fireman, Hire date and ranking as an employee.

(b).   Post-October 31, 1985 engineers

[1]. Engineer's date and ranking as an engineer,

    [2]. Switchman's/trainman's date and ranking as a switchman/trainman,

 [3].Hire date and ranking as an employee.

4.               The territory comprising Zone 2 will be divided into two prior rights sub­ zones ‑ the "Spokane" sub-zone and the "Hinkle-LaGrande" sub-zone. The territories comprising these prior rights sub-zones will be as follows:

a.      "Spokane" sub-zone - Eastport, Idaho to, but, not including, Ayer, Washington, and all track, lines, yards and facilities between these locations.

b.      "Hinkle-LaGrande" sub-zone - Hinkle to, and including, Huntington, Oregon, and, including, Ayer, Washington, and all track, lines, yards and facilities between these locations.

 NOTE 1:     The "Hinkle-LaGrande" sub-zone will also include service to the utility plant near Boardman, service to  Castle and other points west of Hinkle and dogcatching west of Hinkle, as well as those assignments with on‑duty points at Hinkle.

NOTE 2:     In connection with the performance of work by Oregon Fourth or Fifth Seniority District engineers at, or in the     vicinity of Ayer, it is not the parties' intent to after existing arrangements. Accordingly, the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 5(a), 5(b) and 6 of the Agreement between the Union Pacific Railroad Company     (Northwestern District - Oregon Division) and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, dated May 22, 1967 ("Supplement No. 13 (O.D.E.-65) Ayer – Chew Line Relocation:") are retained and made a part of this Agreement, except that all references therein to "Fourth Seniority District" or "Fourth Seniority District engineers" shall now refer to the Hinkle-LaGrande sub-zone and/or to engineers either possessing prior rights, or working, in the Hinkle-LaGrande sub-zone,  and all references therein to "Fifth Seniority District" or "Fifth Seniority District engineers" shall now refer to the Spokane sub-zone and/or to engineers either  possessing prior rights, or working, in the Spokane sub-zone.  

5.          A prior rights roster will be established for each sub-zone. Each roster will be established by dovetailing the seniority of the engineers assigned to the sub-zone. The same seniority date used to determine placement on the Zone 2 master seniority roster will be used to determine placement on the applicable sub-zone roster. An employee may hold a position on only one (1) sub-zone prior rights roster.  

a.     Engineers holding seniority, or in training, on the former UP 5th or 9^th Seniority District on the date this Agreement is implemented will be granted prior rights in the Spokane sub‑zone.  

b.             Engineers holding seniority, or in training, on the former UP 4^th Seniority District on the date this Agreement is implemented who elect, pursuant to this Agreement, to permanently relocate to Spokane will be granted prior rights in the Spokane sub-zone.  

c.             Engineers holding seniority, or in training, on the former UP 4^th Seniority District on the date this Agreement is implemented (identified on Attachment "B") who elect to not relocate to Spokane will be granted prior rights, subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7, below, in the Hinkle‑LaGrande sub‑zone.  

d.     Engineers holding seniority, or in training, on the former UP 3^rd Seniority District on the date this Agreement is implemented will be granted prior rights in the Hinkle‑LaGrande sub‑zone.

i.      Engineers covered by Article 11, Section B, Paragraph 5 of the Portland Hub Zone I Merger Implementing Agreement will be given a one‑time opportunity to elect to either remain in Zone 2 or relocate to Portland Hub Zone 1.  

ii.     Those engineers who elect to remain in Zone 2 will permanently relinquish all seniority rights and standing in Portland Hub Zone 1.  

iii.     Concurrent with implementation of this Agreement, Article 11, Section B, Paragraph 5 of the Portland Hub Zone 1 Merger   Implementing Agreement will automatically terminate.  

f.     Engineers holding seniority on the Idaho Seniority District and identified on Attachment "A" who elect, pursuant to this Agreement, to permanently relocate to Zone 2 will be granted prior rights in the Hinkle‑LaGrande sub‑zone.  

i. Eligible engineers holding seniority on the Idaho Seniority District will, prior to implementation of this Agreement, be given a one‑time opportunity to elect to either remain in Zone 3 or permanently relocate to Zone 2.  

ii. Eligible employees who elect to permanently relocate to Zone 2 will relinquish all seniority rights in Zone 3.  

NOTE:         If in the process of ranking employees on the sub‑zone     prior rights roster, several employees have identical     seniority dates, the roster order for such employees will be determined in accordance with Paragraph 3.b of this Article 11, Section A.  

6.   Employees acquiring engineer seniority on Zone 2 subsequent to the date this Agreement is implemented will not be assigned prior rights in the Spokane or Hinkle‑LaGrande sub‑zones and will be considered as common Zone 2 engineers.  

7.   Former UP 4 th Seniority District engineers identified on Attachment "B" shall be given prior rights to assignments originating in the territory comprising the former UP 4 Seniority District. Such engineers shall be obligated to exhaust the prior rights afforded by this Paragraph 7 prior to exercising engineer seniority outside the UP 4 t Seniority District territory.  

8.   New positions and/or permanent vacancies in Zone 2 for which there are no bidders/applicants will, subject to Paragraph 7, above, be assigned or filled as follows:  

a. Assign the senior demoted engineer who is working in that sub‑zone or an engineer obligated under Paragraph 7, above.  

b. Assign the junior engineer on the protecting extra board in that sub­ zone.  

c. Assign the senior demoted engineer who is working outside that sub­ zone.  

NOTE:               Existing Idaho Agreement provisions governing the filling of new positions or permanent vacancies will continue to apply for filling new positions and permanent vacancies in Zone 3.  

9.   Existing agreement rules and arrangements governing prior rights for engineers in the territory comprising Zone 2 are, effective with implementation of this Agreement, superseded by the provisions set forth herein. 

B. 1. The existing UP Idaho Seniority District roster shall become the Zone 3 master seniority roster. This roster shall include all engineers on the Idaho Seniority District roster except for those engineers who elect, pursuant to this Agreement, to relocate to Zone 2. Engineers who elect to permanently relocate to Zone 2 pursuant to this Agreement will have their names removed from this roster. This roster shall also include all engineers presently listed thereon who may be borrowed out to other locations who will return to this zone upon their release. Similarly, engineers from outside Zone 3 who are borrowed out to locations within Zone 3 will not be included on this roster.  

2.      The engineers identified on Attachment "A" of this Agreement will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, retain the right to exercise their Zone 3 engineer seniority to "Nampa" positions in the LaGrande – Nampa through freight pool.  

3.     New positions or permanent vacancies for which Nampa is the source of supply, other than "Nampa" positions in the LaGrande - Nampa pool, for which there are no bidders/applicants shall be filled as follows:

a.                 Force assign the senior demoted engineer identified on Attachment  "A" working in the area for which Nampa is the source of supply.

b.                 Force assign the senior demoted engineer identified on Attachment "A. "

c.                 Force assign the junior engineer identified on Attachment "A" assigned to a "Nampa" position in the LaGrande - Nampa pool.

NOTE:                 A vacancy resulting on a "Nampa" position in the LaGrande - Nampa pool from assignment of an engineer listed on Attachment "A" to another vacancy at Nampa will be filled on a temporary basis by a Zone 2 engineer. It is not intended that in these circumstances the involved position will be permanently transferred to Zone 2. The engineer assigned to the other Nampa vacancy may "reclaim," seniority permitting, the "Nampa" pool position once he or she is displaced from that other position (and is not needed/used on another Nampa vacancy) or the position is abolished.

C.     Engineers placed on the Zone 2 master seniority roster shall relinquish all seniority outside the territory comprising Zone 2. Likewise, all seniority inside Zone 2 held by engineers outside Zone 2 shall be eliminated.

D.     Engineers placed on the Zone 3 master seniority roster shall relinquish all seniority outside the territory comprising Zone 3. Likewise, all seniority inside Zone 3 held by engineers outside Zone 3 shall be eliminated.

NOTE:                This Paragraph D shall not serve to eliminate or restrict the seniority rights or obligations, as established by this Agreement, of engineers identified on Attachment "A." Likewise, this Paragraph D is not intended to limit or restrict such engineers' right(s) to exercise their seniority to Zone 3 positions.

E.     Subject to applicable provisions of this Agreement, engineers on an authorized leave of absence, holding official positions ‑ i.e., company officers ‑ or dismissed from service and later reinstated will be placed on the appropriate master roster (Zone 2 or Zone 3). The parties will create an inactive roster for such engineers until they return to service in either Zone 2 or Zone 3, at which time they will be placed on the appropriate master seniority roster and removed from the inactive roster.
