SIDE LETTER NO. 14

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
MR R D HOGAN
GENERAL CHAIRMAN UTU
1721 ELFINDALE DR #309
SPRINGFIELDMO 65807

MR DON L HOLLIS
ASSOC. GEN CHAIRMAN UTU
PO BOX 580

MR A MARTIN III
GENERAL CHAIRMAN UTU

TOPEKA KS 66614-4181


Gentlemen:

This has reference to our negotiations covering the Merger Implementing Agreement entered into this date between the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Southern Pacific Lines and the United Transportation Union. During these negotiations, the Organization expressed concern that crews who expire on the Hours of Service Law would not be transported in a timely manner to the destination terminal.

This will confirm the advice given to you, i.e., that When a crew ties up on the Hours of Service before reaching the objective terminal, the Carrier will make every reasonable effort to relieve subject crew and transport them to the tie up point, expeditiously. The Carrier recognized the interests of the railroad and its employees are best served when a train reaches the final terminal within the hours of service. In the event this does not occur, the Carrier is committed to relieving that crew and providing transportation as soon as practical. It is understood that this commitment contemplates transportation in the form of passenger vehicle, and crews shall not be transported to the tie-up point after Hours of Service tie-ups by means of train except in case of emergency or extraordinary circumstances which make providing a vehicle impossible.

In the event the Organization feels that this commitment is not being observed at a particular location, the General Chairman shall promptly contact the Director of Labor Relations in writing stating the reasons or circumstances thereof. Within ten (10) days after being contacted the Director of Labor Relations will schedule a conference between the parties to discuss the matter and seek a resolution. The conference will include the appropriate General Manager or his designate.

Yours truly,
M. A. Hartman
General Director - Labor Relations

AGREED:
R. D. Hogan. Jr.
General Chairman. UTU
D. L. Hollis
General Chairman. UTU
A. Martin III
General Chairman. UTU
