UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION: UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY June 11, 1976 ODE-1904 Mr. E. E. Smith Mr. J. H. Watson Gentlemen: Subsequent to the consumation of the agreement providing for payment of a mileage allowance to extra men who are authorized and required to use their personal automobiles deadheading on company business, the question arose with respect to such an employe who deadheads to an outlying point in his personal automobile, works back to the extra board point, and must then retrieve his auto from the outlying point. To cover such a situation, the following amendment to this agreement is proposed: "A trainman or engineer who drives his automobile deadheading to an outlying point for service and subsequently works back to the extra board point, will be paid an additional fifty (50) miles for returning to the outlying point to retrieve his automobile if the distance is fifty (50) miles or less and one hundred (100) miles if the distance is in excess of fifty (50) miles." It is also agreed that the provisions of this agreement are hereby extended to cover extra men deadheading to outlying points to protect yard service. As an indication that the above meets with your approval, please sign below all copies of this letter returning the original and three signed copies to the undersigned and retain one signed copy for your record.
