May 24, 2004 Re: System Transfer Agreement |
Dear Sir and Brother,
Enclosed you will find an agreement which has been drafted and initialed between the four BNSF-BLET General Committee and the BNSF Railway Co. It pertains to developing a “System Transfer Agreement” which would allow the transfer of engine seniority between the former roads on the now merged company. More specifically, it would streamline an already used practice by which an employee transfers to a consolidated terminal (portal) and then emerges on the other predecessor road. The disruption of the labor force and roster maintenance has forced this issue and we feel we have now found remedy by way of this proposal.
Please review the proposed agreement and the forward instructions to our respective office as to the manner in which such an agreement should be voted.
Fraternally and with solidarity,
(Signed by D.R. Pierce, A.G. Morrison, P.J. Williams and R.C. Gibbons)
