2009 Wettermark Holland & Keith UTU 1328 Golf Scramble

Article 12 Amended

 

By a delegate vote of 356-58, article 12 of the UTU Constitution has been amended.  This amendment will allow the International to continue to pursue the short term disability policy for the membership.

Transfer Grievance/Time Claims

 

It has been past practice for the interchange with the CSX here at Louisville to be divided into equity portions. The CSX handles it from January 1 thru June 30 and NS handled it from July 1 thru December 31.
The Carrier has taken the position that they are GIVING their portion of the equity away here at Louisville from July 1 thru December 31. Thus, July 1 the CSX will continue to interchange. This violates the equity portion of the interchange agreement.

Beginning July 1st, the first out switchman and engineer on the yard boards at the time of interchange need to turn time in. This is going to be a tedious task keeping track of this and who it 1st out but this is the ONLY way to combat this. We need to help each other out and keep track of this. The timeslip should be for an eight (8) hour claim for not called in turn (NO). It should read:

"Claiming eight (8) hours at pro rata for not called in turn. The division of equity established in 1982 between the CSX and NS allowed for 6 month intervals between the Carriers. The NS portion is from July 1st thru December 31. The Carrier allowed CSX to continue to interchange during this period without establishing an assignment here to do the work. I was first out and rested on (applicable board-switchmen or engineer) at ( actual time ) when the CSX interchanged into (track number)."

It will probably be easiest for Market Steet to track this information. It going to be a real pain to monitor this and convey the information but it is our only avenue at this time. What we don't need to do is not turn time in. That is exactly what the Carrier wants.

Golf Scramble

 

In the near future, all golf scramble team captains will receive an email confirming their teams participation.  As a reminder, if you are a member, and not on a team, you WILL NOT be allowed onto the golf course.  There are limited carts and none will be available for joy riding.  All team captains will be responsible for the teams behavior.  If someone on the team is out of line, the entire team will not be allowed to participate in the future.  These provisions are in place due to behavior from the past.  As a local, we must protect the membership.  We hope all participants have fun!
