Dear Mr. Donnigan:
On
several occasions Union Pacific and various BLE Committees have made
arrangements to allow employees to donate vacation and/or personal leave to a co-worker
in need by request. In order to create a more systematic and simple procedure
for these donations, Union Pacific agrees to allow the BLE to submit the
enclosed donation forms when the need arises.
In
simplifying this process, the parties agree as follows:
- This is a voluntary program
and as such no claims or grievances will be tiled or progressed in
connection
therewith.
- No payments will be made in lieu of time donated, to
either the Donor or Donee.
- It is the responsibility of the Local chairman to collect
and submit all donation forms for a given Donee at one time to the Labor
Relations Department.
- This arrangement may terminate upon ten (l0) days written notice by either the BLE or Union Pacific. Furthermore, this arrangement is done without prejudice to the position of either party and shall not be cited as precedent.
If
you agree, please so indicate in the designated place on both originals,
returning one to me and distribute this information to your Local Chairmen.
Sincerely,
/s/ W. E. Loomis,
AGREED:
