The Claim:
  • When turns are dropped and vacancy procedures have not been followed first:
  • When Conductor xtra brd is exhausted, Item 43(d) requires the senior available applicant to the xtra board be used

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION:
  • You must print a copy of the permanent bid list for the extra board board (if you are not sure how to do this, see the instructions here).
  • The snapshot of the board standings showing each dropped turn/turns along with what they stood to catch is also necessary.

    CLAIM FORM


    STEP-UP CLAIM EXAMPLE:

    ​On (date) was on (CIRC-7) (BOARD) working (TURN ID) turn.  The (TURN ID), & (TURN ID) turns were directly ahead of me on board.  At          hrs the (TURN ID) stood to be called for the (TRAIN ID), instead both turns were dropped without following vacancy procedures outlined in item 43(d), the Conductor Extra Board agreement:  “7(a) When the conductors’ extra board is exhausted, vacancies will be filled by the senior conductor available at calling time with written application on file".   (NAME) was the senior available bidder to the (EXTRA BOARD)  board, & should have been called. Claim 65 miles for step up to work (TRAIN ID) .

    POOL FREIGHT CONDUCTORS


    ​SENIOR BIDDER TO EXTRA BOARDS

    BASIC DAY MISHANDLING
    The senior bidder to the EXTRA board available at calling time (even if in LB status) is entitled to a claim each job ran behind dropped turns.

    EXAMPLE:
    Claim lost round-trip earnings from the (CIRC-7) (BOARD) (TURN ID)  turn working the (TRAIN ID) on (date), and the (TRAIN ID) on the (date).  I was the senior available bidder with application on file for the (Extra Board) (CIRC-7) on (date) when the (CIRC-7) (BOARD) (TURN ID) was dropped.  Item 43(d) states, "WHEN THE CONDUCTORS EXTRA BOARD IS EXHAUSTED, VACANCIES WILL BE FILLED BY THE SENIOR CONDUCTOR AVAILABLE AT CALLING TIME WITH WRIITEN APPLICATION ON FILE".  I was available and was thus deprived a round trip work opportunity

    Copy the relevant Claim Template above, paste it below and in the comments section of the CMTS Time Claim screen.  Fill in the blanks accordingly. This form will be immediately sent to the local chairman.
