Dear Sir:
This is to confirm our discussions of Article IV,Section 2(b) of the Crew Consist Agreement of September 15,1980.
It was agreed that when the Conductors’ and Brakemen’s Extra Boards are exhausted and there are no available protected road brakemen holding blankable road brakemen positions at that location, the Carrier shall use a must-fill conductor and/or brakeman (as needed) who is rested and available in accordance with existing work rules.
Once a trainman is so used in emergency service and returns to his/her home terminal, he/she will not be required to be available or accept call for additional service while his/her regular assignment is at work. Once his/her regular assignment is back at the home terminal, a new cycle will begin.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding reached in conference, please affix your signature in the space provided below.
Yours truly,
L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
AGREED:
D.L. Smith
