Gentlemen:
This refers to the Merger Implementing Agreement for the Salina Hub entered into this date. Because SSW system seniority extends through the Kansas City, Salina and Dalhart Hubs, the Carrier agreed to make certain commitments regarding operations in the Salina Hub in order that Pratt trainmen may make a more informed decision regarding roster slotting for the Kansas City and Salina Hubs. Specifically, Carrier committed as follows:
- In the event employees at Pratt desire to relocate to Herington in proportion to the number or pool turns and extra board positions being moved to Herington, such requests will be given first consideration. Should this not be the case, to the extent possible, existing manpower at Herington will be used to staff the Herington-Pratt pool operations. If Pratt trainmen are needed to fulfill the need at Herington, the minimum necessary will be relocated to Herington, and those volunteering to relocate will be paid relocation under Article VII.B. of this Agreement. If insufficient trainmen volunteer, some trainmen may be forced to Herington in reverse seniority. Under these circumstances, Article VIII.B. benefits would still apply. The parties shall meet and reach agreement on the number and method of force assignments to Herington.
- Upon implementation of this Agreement, Pratt trainmen will relinquish rights to Herington-Pratt pool service. After implementation of the Salina Hub Agreement, Pratt trainmen shall protect only freight service between Pratt and Dalhart, including the extra board and regular assignments now home terminated at Pratt.
It is understood the above provisions are without prejudice to Carrier's position and may not be cited by either party in any other proceeding.
