MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT NO. 26010119601320
This Memorandum of Agreement concerning yard operations at Chicago Terminal
Complex (CTC) is intended to eliminate several issues concerning the meal period
in the CTC. The amendments proposed below are intended to improve the
efficiency of the operation at Chicago specifically as it pertains to operation of the
all yard assignments in the CTC. The Memorandum of Agreement will address
meals while performing service within the CTC and the compensation for the
above-identified positions. Accordingly, it is agreed that effective January 1, 2019:
1. Foremen and Utility men will receive a new basic daily rate of pay of $320.00 for all
yard assignments. Switchmen will receive a new basic daily rate of pay of $312.00
for all yard assignments.
NOTE: Yard service for the purposes of this Agreement
means: the movement of cars and/or engines within the CTC,
except transfer service.
2. The provisions of Yard Rule 7(c), which is currently applicable to switchtenders and
transfer service working at CTC, will now apply to all assignments working in the
Chicago Terminal Complex (CTC). Rule 7(c) will now read as follows:
7(c). Paragraphs (a) and (b) of this rule apply to all yard
assignments working in the CTC, but these positions will be
held responsible for their regular duties during the meal period.
3. The above changes to the rates of pay and Rule 7(c) of the January 1, 1959 BRT
Schedule applicable to all assignments working in the CTC, will be instituted in an
effort to address the level of compensation necessary for employees occupying
these positions to be available during their tour of duty. The aforementioned
changes in compensation and Yard Rule 7(c) are designed to eliminate ongoing
concerns/disputes regarding the application of the meal period rules for the above
identified positions.
4. Yard Rule 7(c), as amended, requires all yard assignments working in the CTC to
protect their regular duties throughout their shift, including the period identified in
5.

these positions a meal period during their tour of duty.
Any current in-lieu-of meal allowance paid (e.g. “JQ”) the aforementioned positions
will be discontinued.

will become effective January 1, 2019, and will be subject to all future wage
increases.

in Side Letter Nos. 1 and 2 of this Agreement.
