​Brothers and sisters,

Let me begin by saying that this award isn't applicable in Herington.  Herington does not have “yard jobs”…Herington has “Zone Locals”.  However, this IS applicable in Wichita and Salina.
 
Here is a quick overview of this award;

The Award addressing yard overtime preserved the employee's right to a regular shift but stipulated that the work had to be assigned after the close of shift in order to incur a penalty. The Award also properly placed the burden of proof squarely upon Carrier to prove an "emergency" situation existed which required the overtime. Additionally, the right of an extra employee to a claim was upheld if more than two hours' overtime are worked by the regular crew.
