Wichita-Herington-Wichita Turnaround Pool
| Description: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT Between UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY And the SMART-TD ************************************************************************************* TURNAROUND POOL FREIGHT OPERATIONS WICHITA - HERINGTON - WICHITA ************************************************************************************* Pursuant to the Salina Hub Merger Implementing Agreement, Article I (E), the Carrier proposed the creation of new turnaround pool service between Wichita and Herington. In an effort to implement/establish this pool, the following is hereby adopted without prejudice to either party's position: IT IS AGREED: New turnaround pool freight service may be established with the on/off duty point of Wichita, Kansas. The operation will be to Herington, Kansas with crews tying up back at Wichita, Kansas. In this operation, Herington will be an intermediate point en route.
The provisions of the Salina Hub Merger Implementing Agreement will apply.
When a crew is required to be relieved from duty at other than the on/off duty point identified in Item 1 above, the Carrier shall authorize and provide suitable transportation. Any necessary deadheading will be in combined service.
Wichita-Herington turnaround pool operations may operate as Conductor-only subject to the three work event en route limitations of the Union Pacific Eastern District Modified Crew Consist Agreement dated December 19, 1991.
NOTE: The $26.00 conductor-only turnaround allowance is not payable to a trainman making a familiarization or pilot trip. Example 1: A conductor-only crew is deadheaded from Wichita to White City to retrieve his/her train, a distance of 84 miles (70 miles to Herington; 14 miles further to White City). The crew then takes the train back to Wichita. The total round trip from Wichita to White City and return is 164 miles, and time consumed is eight (8) hours or less. What payment is due in addition to the $26.00 conductor-only allowance? Answer 1: The 140 mile trip rate of $235.00 plus one-hour for getting the train at White City. Example 2: What would the conductor in Example 1 be paid if the time consumed was 10 hours and 30 minutes? Answer 2: The 140 mile trip rate of $235.00, 1 hour 53 minutes overtime (based on the current 16.25 MPH OT divisor) plus one-hour for getting the train at White City. Example 3: What would the conductor in Example 1 be paid if the train was received 25 miles west of the Herington switching limits and time consumed was 10 hours and 30 minutes? Answer 3: The 140 mile trip rate of $235.00, 1 hour 53 minutes overtime (based on the current 16.25 MPH OT divisor) plus one-hour and 32 minutes for receiving the train 25 miles west of Herington. This Agreement will become effective 14 days after the date it is signed by both parties. Pool positions will be bulletined in accordance with Schedule Rules.
NOTE 1: This provision is not intended to protect Wichita Conductors holding turns on this pool in the event that this pool is abolished and the work continues to be protected out of Wichita either with an extra board or in the Wichita - Salina through freight pool. Nor is it intended to protect Wichita Conductors in the event there are no turns on the Wichita - Herington turnaround pool due to lack of trains being run in the pool. (i) He/she requests to be released from the board to exercise his/her seniority to a vacant position by bid or application. (ii) He/she is recalled to active service in junior order to any permanent positions that go no bid in Wichita, including the extra board. (iii) He/she is displaced by another employee through the exercise of seniority. (iv) He/she retires, resigns or is dismissed in accord with collective bargaining agreement rules. NOTE 1: Reserve board employees will be recalled to fill permanent vacancies at Wichita ahead of any furloughed Salina Hub employees or prior to forcing any junior employees working elsewhere in the Salina Hub. NOTE 2: An employee who exercises his/her seniority to a vacant working position per (i) may exercise back to the reserve board in the event he/she can no longer hold a position at Wichita as long as the reserve board is still within its five-year existence. If the employee exercised his/her seniority to a position outside Wichita, he/she is no longer eligible to exercise back to the reserve board whether able to hold a position at Wichita or not. NOTE: Failure to return to service within 30 days of notice to return will result in forfeiture of seniority. Signed this 28th day of July , 2017, in Omaha, Nebraska.

July 19, 2017 BRENT C. LEONARD GENERAL CHAIRMAN SMART-TD 953 5990 SW 28TH STREET SUITE "F" TOPEKA, KANSAS 66614 RE: Trip Rate detail for Wichita - Herington turn service Dear Mr. Leonard: As indicated in the attached agreement for turnaround service between Wichita, Kansas and Herington, Kansas, and per our discussions, the Carrier will establish trip rates for the following runs/pool upon implementation of the service: RunslPools (SEE PDF FOR TABLE CONTAINING RATES) As you are aware, the parties did not use test data to establish the rate; rather it was based on the miles run and the existing trip rate data for lTD, FTD and en route meals for Wichita - Salina (RT30). The trip rate is based on the run miles for Wichita to Herington and return, which is 140 miles. The parties used the existing trip rate from Wichita - Salina (based on 130 mile basic day), which is $217.50 and added ten over miles ($17.50) for a total of $235.00, including the frozen elements. The above trip rate figures are exclusive of the agreed upon payment of $26.00 to the conductor working without a brakeman. Upon implementation, an employee would receive the applicable trip rate for this pool and then would be able to select the $26.00 differential payment for trips worked without a brakeman, which would be paid in addition to his/her trip rate. In addition, this new trip rate does not exclude employees from receiving other negotiated payments and arbitraries as due under existing Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns. Sincerely yours, Beth Wilderman |
