Dear Sir:

The Articles covering vacancies in the three Modified Crew Consist Agreements, identified as follows:

Article VI - Second/Third Seniority Districts
Article XIII - First Seniority District
Article VII - Fourth/Fifth/SIRR Districts

were not intended to conflict with Rule 30 of the Working Agreement effective October l, 1975. The proper procedure to be followed when a permanent vacancy exists on a Conductor's Extra Board and no applications are on file, and no Conductors are furloughed is to assign the junior unassigned Conductor at the point.

This employee may be working a must-fill Brakeman/Yard Helper position, blankable Brakeman/Yard Helper position, or be on the Reserve Board. When Conductor vacancies are filled resultant Brakemen/ Yard Helper positions are filled by use of the appropriate Article referred to above.

While employees recalled from the Reserve Board normally have a displacement right, if the employee is the junior unassigned Conductor at the point where the vacancy exists the employee is required to take the Conductor's position or displace a junior employee at some other point.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding reached in conference, please affix your signature below.

Yours truly,
/s/ W. S. Hinckley
Director Labor Relations

AGREED:
/s/ L. L. Nelson
General Chairman, UTU (C&T)
