Common use of SUBWAY-ELEVATED TRAINPERSONS AND STATIONPERSONS Clause in Contracts

SUBWAY-ELEVATED TRAINPERSONS AND STATIONPERSONS. (1) Hold-down Picking Any scheduled straight or swing run that is open for three days is a hold-down and will be assigned to the first extra trainperson or stationperson on the district seniority lists entitled to receive an open hold-down run except that an owl run that is assigned to an extra trainperson or stationperson will be classed as a hold-down on the day such run is assigned. All hold-downs shall be picked each month by the extra trainpersons or stationpersons who are available to work such runs, in the order of their district seniority. The pickings will commence on the Thursday preceding the first Sunday of the calendar month during which the hold-down runs are to be operated. Any run becoming a hold-down after hold-down picking has started may only be picked by extra trainpersons or stationpersons who have not already picked a hold-down. The Authority will assign a hold-down to an extra trainperson or stationperson who is qualified and next in line to pick a hold-down who does not pick for any reason. Hold-downs picked shall be operated by the trainpersons or stationpersons picking them or to whom they are assigned for a period of one month, starting the Sunday following the commencement of the picking, or until the trainperson or stationperson to whom the run is regularly assigned returns to work, if one returns to work within such month. An extra trainperson or stationperson who picks or is assigned a hold-down for a period of five or more days shall be classed as a regular trainperson or stationperson for the calendar week during which such fifth (5th) day falls and during each succeeding calendar week that such hold-down is assigned. A trainperson or stationperson who picks or is assigned a hold-down will retain one’s position on the respective Reporting List for Extra Persons until the fifth (5th) day such hold-down is assigned, at which time one’s name will be removed from such list and placed on the respective Hold-Down List. When a trainperson or stationperson loses a hold-down held five (5) or more days one’s name shall be placed on the respective Reporting List for Extra Persons in accordance with these regulations.
