Oregon Division * * *
This Agreement is made and entered into this 13th day of July, 1989 by and between the Union Pacific Railroad Company (hereinafter called "Carrier") and the United Transportation Union (hereinafter called "UTU"). The purpose of this Agreement is to provide through freight (Inter-divisional) service between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, and to modify the Crew Consist Agreement effective September 15, 1980 on the First Seniority District on the Northwest District - Oregon Division.
It is hereby mutually agreed by and between the parties signatory hereto as follows:
PART A
Article I ESTABLISHMENT OF POOL FREIGHT SERVICE
Section 1 . Centralia, Washington shall be eliminated as an extra board point for through freight service operating between Portland and Seattle. Pool freight service shall be established to replace assigned freight service operating between Portland and Seattle.
The home terminal for such through freight service shall be Portland (Albina) , Oregon. The away-from-home terminal shall be Seattle (Argo) , Washington.
Section 2 . The number of crew turns in the pool will be determined by the requirements of the service. While it is the intent to regulate the pool on a basis of 3800 to 4200 miles per month, the parties recognize that National Agreements have resulted in different pay structures, making it impractical to totally rely on mileage 'averages. It is, therefore, the intent of the parties to also use an average of ten (10) round trips per crew turn per month as a regulating factor.
