| Description: LR 013-17-39 A G R E E MEN T between the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY and the UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION - C & T Divisions TIME LIMIT IN WHICH TO MAKE DISPLACEMENT – YARDMEN The following understanding is hereby adopted with the view that it will greater facilitate crew dispatching procedures relating to yardmen exercising their right of displacement. IT IS AGREED: Yardmen who, for any reason, have a right of displacement will exercise that right as promptly as possible and will not lay off before doing so. Under this rule, a yardman must exercise seniority within five days unless leave of absence (layoff) is granted in accordance with governing rules. Failure to comply with this provision will result in forfeiture of right of displacement except to the extra board which protects the work from which displaced, if his seniority is sufficient. If unable to hold the extra board, the employe will be required to displace the junior man on the seniority district except as otherwise provided in the Stay- At-Home Agreement. The five-day period shall commence at the time the yardman is free to make a displacement and has been notified by the crew dispatcher of his displacement or that his run is being abolished, as the case may be. This agreement shall be effective April 1, 1985 and thereafter, subject to termination upon thirty days written notice by either party upon the other. Dated at Portland, Oregon this 29th day of March, 1985. UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION: UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY:

ODB- 1377 A G R E E MEN T Between UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY and the UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION - C & T Divisions IT IS AGREED: Effective January 20, 1975 the following regulation shall be adopted for application at Argo and Albina only: A trainman/yardman with right of displacement may place himself temporarily on a yard job under bulletin; however, if he desires to remain thereon, or to retain his displacement right, he must bid for the position. If the employe holding the position under bulletin is not the successful applicant, he may, after assignment is made, exercise his seniority. In the event the employe fails to bid on the vacancy on which he places himself temporarily, his displacement right is forfeited and he must take the extra board. The above procedure, commonly referred to as "pink-up," may be resorted to only once. In other words an employe with a displacement right may not place himself on a succession of temporary vacancies. This agreement will automatically terminate upon the serving of ten days notice by either party upon the other. Dated at Portland, Oregon this 6th day of January, 1975.
