MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT between UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY and the BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERSMemorandum of Agreement • January 22nd, 2003
Union Pacific Railroad Company (“Carrier” or “UP”) and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (“BLE”) recognize present operating practices, collective bargaining agreement provisions and crew management practices have an impact on the quantity and quality of rest opportunities afforded engineers, as well as on the safety of their work environment and quality of life. UP and BLE recognize innovative methods must be devised to address these impacts and concerns. One scientifically based approach is to provide engineers working on extra boards assigned rest days. This approach contemplates enhancing employee safety and quality of life by providing predictable and scheduled time off while maintaining a sufficient work force to satisfy UP’s needs. The parties thus agree to implement a work/rest cycle pilot project for engineers assigned to the “East” extra board at El Paso, Texas (presently identified as “TP 860 XE41").
