Dear Mr. Nelson:
This will
confirm our discussions concerning the Conductor-Only Crew Consist negotiations.
During the
negotiations, the subject of "borrowed-out" employees was discussed.
It was agreed that these employees were offered special incentives to
voluntarily transfer to Oregon Division Seniority Districts in order to
alleviate a temporary manpower shortage and were not, therefore, properly
entitled to the benefits of the Crew Consist Agreement as amended by the
Conductor-Only Agreement. However, if any of the "borrowed-out"
employees should choose to bid on a job and thereby relinquish their seniority
on their home territory, they will at that time be entitled to the benefits of
the agreements in accordance with their Oregon Division Seniority.
If the above
properly sets forth your understanding of our agreement, please so indicate by
signing in the space provided below.
Yours truly,
L. A.
Lambert
Director Labor Relations
AGREED:
L. L. Nelson
General Chairman UTU C&T
