During the negotiations which lead to the ratification of the Seniority Zone 200 Agreement dated September 21, 1988, and the Memorandum of Agreement dated September 27, 1989, which modified Section 6(1) and added Sections 6(4) and (5) to that agreement, questions were raised concerning the obligations and rights of employees in the application of Section 6(1), and it was understood that the following would apply: In the application of Section 6(1), an employee in road service who exercises his Zone 200 seniority rights under the provisions of Section 5(3) and bids on a bulletined road assignment on another prior road seniority district, and then voluntarily relinquishes the assignment, will be governed by the Schedule Rules in effect on the "home district" of the assignment, and will displace in accordance with the provisions of Schedule Rule 92(15). The employee will be required to remain on the prior road seniority district of the assignment for a period of 120 days from the date he was assigned unless he is the senior applicant for a bulletined assignment on another prior road seniority district, or transfers to yard service under the provisions of Sections 5(a) and (b) of the Dual Rights Agreement. If this accurately reflects our understanding, please indicate by signing below, returning one original to this office.
