Dear Mr. Nelson:
This will confirm our discussions concerning the Conductor‑Only Crew Consist negotiations.
With regard to Article I – Part 5, it is agreed that the Carrier will cooperate in providing information with regard to assignments’ work load (history of work performed) in order to enable informed decisions to be made with regard to the feasibility of operating Conductor/ Foreman-only.
It is further agreed that Article I ‑ Part 5 was not intended to permit an open‑ended time for modification of crew sizes. After the expiration of the 12-month period provided for, any additional changes in crew sizes may be made only by mutual agreement.
If the above properly sets forth your understanding of our Agreement, please so indicate by signing in the space provided below.
Yours truly,
L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
AGREED:
L.L. Nelson
General Chairman UTU C&T
