| Description: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT Modification of rules involving the bulletining of assignments for Any rule or agreement governing bulletining/bidding permanent road assignments contained in the C&NW/CMO/CGW/M&StL and United Transportation Union Agreements are hereby modified as follows: Article 1: Article 2: Example 1: A crew is added to an existing pool; the vacancy will be filled by application. B. The vacancy will be promptly awarded to the senior applicant on file at the time the vacancy becomes known. C. Once an application is honored and the employee is assigned to a position of his/her choice, such application and lower preference applications will be removed from the employee's requests to CMS. All higher preference applications will remain on file with CMS. D. Each six (6) months on January 31 and July 31, all applications will be purged and employees will resubmit their bids in accordance with Article 1 above. E. Once an assignment is made pursuant to this agreement through the Article 3: A. Newly established assignments will be advertised for a period of 5-days. Example 1: An assigned local is added at a terminal. This new assignment will be advertised for a period of 5-days. B.

All resulting vacancies will be filled by applications on file in CMS. D. Employees having displacement rights will be allowed to exercise seniority onto a new assignment pending bulletin and will be considered as having placed a bid for the assignment. Article 4: A. If a position cannot be filled by application under this agreement, the most junior employee at the location who is either in displaced status in excess of 48-hours or assigned to the protecting extra board, will be assigned to the position. B. If a junior employee subsequently marks up at the terminal or is assigned to the protecting extra board, the employee so force assigned may request within five (5) days to relinquish his/her assignment and acquire the position of the junior employee. The junior employee will then be force assigned to the position that was Article 5; If there are insufficient applications for an increase on an extra board, the most junior employee(s) at the closest extra board location, where there is a surplus, will be force assigned to the position.
