At St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha and the Midwest, employees will transfer from one seniority district to another. The determination as to which employee will transfer is an individual determination based upon who was on a transferred assignment on September 1, 1995. There are two exceptions to this approach. At Chicago, the number of CNW Eastern #I and Northeastern #2 employees working in Chicago on September 1, 1995, not the individual, is the determining factor. In the Midwest, the number of Southern #3 and Central #5 remaining after all other transfers is the determining factor. 2.

Failure or refusal of an employee to make an election will result in the Carrier making the assignment for the employee. All positions listed by the Carrier for transfer must be filled. 4. At the end of the workshop, which will last no more than five (5) days, the participants will have finalized agreed-to rosters which 6<xref image="000105HT.TIF|V3|2001:12:21:19:04:54.00|53824|0"> image: </xref>-------
will then be posted for information and protest in accordance with me applicable agreements. If the participants have not finalized agreed-to rosters, the Carrier will prepare such rosters, post them for information and protest, will use those rosters in assigning positions and will not be subject to claims or grievances as a result. 5. This alternative must be accepted unanimously by the involved General Committees. Without unanimity, the alternative will be considered rejected. 6, The Organization must notify the Carrier within five (5) days of the date of this Arbitration Award whether it accepts or rejects this alternative. 7. Nothing in this alternative affects in any way the placement of employees on the new roster (on the bottom or dovetail, as appropriate) nor does this alternative affect in any way the application of prior rights as set forth in Article 1. 'Mis alternative is solely designed to address a different manner for determining which employees transfer to a new and/or merged seniority district. F. Prior to implementation of this Agreement, the parties will meet for purposes of reviewing the operational implementation thereof. Questions and answers pertaining thereto should be prepared by the parties covering that implementation. Should the parties be unable to agree upon any item, that/those matter(s) is/are to be referred to this panel for resolution. vie EMqrJi= 1.

Should implementation of a new operation be phased-in, employees involved in the phase-in will also qualify. V11, Famillariza Employees will not be required to lose time or "ride the road" on their own time in order to qualify for new operations. I .Employees will be provided with as sufficient number of familiarization trips in order to become familiar with a new territory.
