This refers to your request (GCA/77‑25) about application of Rule 45, “Temporary Vacancies‑Pool Freight Service” of the Road Agreement, which was discussed with you in conference on May 31, 1978.
It is agreed that temporary vacancies of conductors in pool freight service known to be of ten days or more duration will be assigned to the senior promoted brakeman making application therefor.
This Agreement will only become effective in those territories where the Local Chairman and Superintendent agree to place it in effect.
This Agreement may be terminated by the service of a ten‑day written notice by either party on the other.
