INFORMATION
The
United Transportation Union (UTU) is a very proud and respected
AGREEMENTS:
When
you become a union member you begin working under several agreements
that have been negotiated by BOTH
the UTU and the UPRR in GOOD FAITH in your behalf. Your protection,
your health care, your vacation, your working conditions are the
result of those agreements. Some are National others are very Local.
You will be receiving a computer disk to explain each of those
agreements.
When
the UPRR fails to uphold one of those agreements then the UTU works in
your behalf until the issue is settled.
When
you are qualified as a Trainman, Switchman or Conductor you will begin
on your first shift working under those agreements and you will
receive all of the benefits that your co-workers receive as stated in
those agreements including guarantees.
Agreements
that we have negotiated in the past 2 years just for your behalf are
the EBB and FLOW agreement and the AUXILIARY WORK AND TRAINING STATUS
agreement. Both of these agreements are new and negotiated just for
your behalf. It has taken UTU over 10 years to get these agreements
finalized. You are the first to benefit from them; we as Union leaders
are proud to have been part of those negotiations for you.
SENIORITY:
Transfer
employees are 1st in order as to their hire dates. New
employees are placed in order by the last 4 digits of their Social
Security number. Highest number goes first.
1.
OPERATING (train or engine service, any road)
2. UPRR (M of W, Signal, Clerk etc.)
3. ANY ROAD
4. NEW EMPLOYEE
Example:
SS# 3423 goes ahead of SS# 3421 because it is the larger number. If
there are any questions or complaints as to your seniority in this
class ask the question NOW instead of having a fight down the road
with Labor Relations. Your seniority is sacred to you and your job;
PROTECT IT.
PROBATION
PERIOD:
60
days after passing GCOR Test. After 60 days you are required to join a
union. The only union that can represent you in a discipline case is
the UTU while working as a Trainman, Switchman or Conductor. Prior to
the 60 days, and prior to actually joining the
REMEMBER!
The UPRR can let you go anytime during that 60 day probation period
with or without an explanation. When you screw up -and
you will- the UTU is there to protect your job and
seniority.
PERSONAL
LEAVE DAYS:
By agreement you are allowed paid personal leave days. You must receive permission from the UPRR before you take any of these days. You can use them for any reason, Sick, Tired or Fun or if you are just Sick and Tired and want to have some Fun. PL Days are accrued as follows:
2
days = less than 5 years seniority
4 days = more than 5 years and less than 10 years seniority
6 days = more than 10 years and less than 15 years seniority
8 days = more than 15 years and less than 20 years seniority
10 days = more than 20 years seniority
