Dear Sir:

The parties met in conference to review rules that provide for various lay-off privileges including vacation, personal leave and personal business layoffs. The parties recognize that there should be an opportunity for all employes to avail themselves of these privileges as governed by agreement rules, manpower needs, and the requirements of service.

The parties have agreed to handle each of the three items as follows:

(1) Enter into a new vacation scheduling agreement that provides for the splitting of vacations and advancing and deferring within certain guidelines.

(2) Amend the Personal Leave Article of the Crew Consist Agreement to provide for employes to use personal leave on a more flexible basis (not tied to trains). This agreement also provides for the use of paid personal leave days prior to non-paid leave.

(3) Develop a system that provides for specific guidelines to govern layoffs of employes who might abuse the system to the detriment of other employes .

Yours truly,

AJ
