ITEM P-3: Interpretation of Continuous Service Provisions of Section 1 of Vacation Agreement (January 18, 1956)
Description: Item - P3
INTERPRETATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 1 OF VACATION AGREEMENT
In the granting of vacations subject to agreements held by the five operating organizations, service rendered for the carrier will be counted in establishing five or fifteen or more years of continuous service, as the case may be, where the employes transferred in service to a position subject to an agreement held by an organization signatory to the April 29th, 1949 Vacation Agreement, provided there was no break in the employe's service as a result of the transfer from a class of service not covered by an agreement held by an organization signatory to the April 29, 1949 Agreement. This understanding will apply only where there was a transfer of service.
This understanding will apply commencing with the year 1956 but will also be applicable to claims of record properly tiled with the carrier on or after January 1, 1955, for 1955 vacations and on file with the carrier at the date of this understanding. Xo other claims for 1955 based on continuous service will be paid. Standby agreements will be applied according to their terms and conditions for the year 1955.
Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 18th day of January, 1956.
