MR L L NELSON
GENERAL CHAIRMAN UTU C&T
POBOX 14849
PORTLAND OR 97293-0849 Dear Sir: During our conference in the UTU office in Portland, Oregon on March 16 and 17, 1999, we
discussed Memorandum of Agreement 2110219830, specifically Side Letter No.1 which provides for lodging for those employees assigned in Seattle, Washington and forced to the newly established extra board in Portland, Oregon. The Organization expressed concerns of when we initially established the two new boards, it was anticipated that more employees would be forced from Seattle to Portland, Oregon.
However, due to various factors, the reverse happened, whereas employees are being forced from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. Therefore, it is agreed, Side Letter No.1 is amended as follows : The Carrier is agreeable to provide lodging at the designated Company facilities in Portland,
Oregon, for those employees who are forced from Seattie/Tacoma to the XB01 Board in
Portland (Albina). For those employees who are forced from Portland, Oregon to Seattle
XB01 Board will be provided lodging at the designated Company facility in Seattle,
Washington. The employee will be responsible for checking out of the lodging facility on any
dates he/she is laid off, excluding Company business, or is called for service. It is further
understood, those employees who are afforded lodging under this Agreement, will not be
afforded Company lodging when called to the far terminal. For example, employees
afforded lodging in Portland, will not be afforded Company lodging in Seattle, nor will
employees being afforded lodging in Seattle, be entitled to Company lodging in Portland,
Oregon. If the above is agreeable to you, please so indicate by Signing in the space provided below and returning a signed copy to this office. Upon receipt of which, the Agreement will be executed. Yours Truly
T. G. TAGGART
