ITEM ‑ 43(d‑2)

June 5, 1978

Referring to your letter of May 5, 1977, file GCA/77‑19, about calling of extra conductors where the freight conductors' extra board is exhausted, which was discussed with you in conference on May 31, 1978.

It is agreed that if, in the application of Section 7(a) and (b) of the August 7, 1972 Conductors"' Extra Board Agreement, it is necessary to use a promoted conductor working on the brakeman' s extra board to fill a conductor's vacancy when the conductors' extra board is exhausted, the brakeman so used will be placed at the foot of the brakemen's extra board upon return to the home terminal. The brakeman will be placed on the extra board based upon the time of arrival at the home terminal.

This Agreement is effective immediately and may be terminated by the service of a ten‑day written notice by either party on the other.
