to Employe’s Widow
MEMORANDUM
Chicago, Illinois
December 16, 1953
Referring to the vacation agreement, as amended by the agreement signed this date, between employees represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and carriers represented by the Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers’ Conference Committees:
Effective January 1, 1954, it is understood that if an employee who performed the necessary qualifying service in the year prior to the year of his death dies before receiving such vacation or payment in lieu thereof, payment of the allowance for such vacation shall be made to his widow.
For example, if an employee performs 160 days of service in 1953 and dies in 1954 before receiving his 1954 vacation, payment in lieu thereof will be made to his widow. No vacation allowance will be due for 1955 even though such employee may have worked 160 days in 1954.
A similar memorandum dated February 5, 1954, between employees represented by the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen and carriers represented by the Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers’ Conference Committees is applicable on this property.
