DEADHEADING

ARTICLE VI

(1986 Arbitration Board No. 458)

     Existing rules covering deadheading are revised as follows:

Section 1 - Payment When Deadheading and Service Are Combined

      (a)  Deadheading and service may be combined in any  manner

that  traffic conditions require, and when so combined  employees

shall  be paid actual miles or hours on a continuous time  basis,

with  not  less than a minimum day, for the combined service  and

deadheading.  However, when deadheading from  the  away-from-home

terminal  to  the home terminal is combined with a  service  trip

from  such home terminal to such away-from-home terminal and  the

distance between the two terminals exceeds the applicable mileage

for a basic day, the rate paid for the basic day mileage portions

of the service trip and deadhead shall be at the full basic daily

rate.

Section 2 - Payment For Deadheading Separate From Service

      When  deadheading  is  paid for  separate  and  apart  from

service:

     (a) For Present Employees*

      A minimum day, at the basic rate applicable to the class of

service in connection with which deadheading is performed,  shall

be  allowed  for the deadheading, unless actual time consumed  is

greater, in which event the latter amount shall be allowed.

     (b) For New Employees**

     Compensation on a minute basis, at the basic rate applicable

to  the class of service in connection with which deadheading  is

performed,   shall   be  allowed.  However,  if   service   after

deadheading to other than the employee's home terminal  does  not

begin within 16 hours after completion of deadhead, a minimum  of

a  basic  day  at  such  rate will be paid. If  deadheading  from

service  at  other  than the employee's home  terminal  does  not

commence within 16 hours of completion of service, a minimum of a

basic day at such rate will be paid.

      A  minimum  of a basic day also will be allowed  where  two

separate deadhead trips, the second of which is out of other than

the   home  terminal,  are  made  with  no  intervening   service

performed.   Non-service  payments  such  as  held-away-from-home

terminal  allowance will count toward the minimum of a basic  day

provided in this Section 2(b).

      *  Employees  whose seniority in engine  or  train  service

precedes November 1, 1985.

      **  Employees whose earliest seniority date  in  engine  or

train service is established on or after November 1, 1985.

Section 3 - Applications

      Deadheading will not be paid where not paid under  existing

rules.

                       - - - - - - - - - -

      This Article shall become effective July 1, 1986 except  on

such  carriers  as  may  elect  to  preserve  existing  rules  or

practices  and  so notify the authorized employee representatives

on or before such date.
