CREW CONSIST

THIS AGREEMENT IS IN FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE CARRIER'S NOTICES SERVED UNDER SECTION 6 OF THE RAILWAY LABOR ACT ON OR ABOUT JUNE 13, 1977, PERTAINING TO THE CONSIST OF CREWS IN TRAIN AND YARD SERVICE.

Section 1. Standard Crew. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, road freight train and yard crews shall consist of not less than one conductor/foreman and two brakemen/helpers, which will be referred to as a "standard crew."

Section 2. Crew Reduction By Attrition. The reduction of road freight service brakemen or yard helper positions from any crew shall be made solely on a pure attrition basis. No road freight brakeman or yard helper positions available to a protected employe under Schedule Rules will be blanked, except under the conditions specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Section 5. Minimum Crew Size. The minimum crew size shall consist of not less than one conductor/foreman, and one brakeman/yard helper and no service shall be required of any crew manned by less than one conductor/foreman and one brakeman/yard helper. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Carrier from adding additional position of road brakeman/yard helper to any assignment when in its judgment the additional position is deemed necessary and will be so designated. Except as provided in Article IV, Section 2(c), no protected employe will be moved from a standard crew of one conductor/foreman and two brakemen/yard helpers to a reduced crew of one conductor/foreman and one brake-man/yard helper in order to make such crew a standard crew of one conductor/foreman and two brakeman/yard helpers. (Intpns. Pg. 14)

Section 4. Manual Retainers. Trains in mountain grade territory, requiring the use of hand operated retainers, under the Carrier's Special Rules, shall be manned by a standard crew.

Section 5. Passenger Service. Nothing in this Agreement changes existing Crew Consist arrangements in passenger service.

(a) Not Reporting. In the event a member of a yard crew consisting of one foreman and two helpers (one helper position is blankable), fails to report for duty, the remaining two crew members may be required to start work. If the foreman fails to report, a qualified foreman on same crew will be used. If there is no qualified foreman, existing Schedule Rules will apply.

Should the absent member fail to report within one hour from the on-duty time, the remaining crew members will finish that tour of duty receiving the special allowance and also the Employes' Productivity Fund will be credited.

Where a yard crew consists of a foreman and two helpers (both helper positions are "must-fill" as a result of Carrier designation or bulletin due to ' safety and requirements of the service), and one member fails to report for duty, the remaining two crew members will not be required to start work.

(b) Not Completing Shift. In the event a yard crew member is permitted to leave the job due to sickness, injury or other compelling reason, during a tour of duty; if the remaining two crew members are required to continue working in excess of one hour or to complete that tour of duty, they shall receive the special allowance and also the Productivity Fund will be credited. If the positions are all "must-fill" as designated in Subsection (a), the remaining crew members may work as permitted by existing Schedule Rules.

Section 7. Employes will not be required to operate with less than the required train/yard crew consist specified in this Agreement nor will they be censured or disciplined in any manner for refusal to do so.
