Brothers,
Recently the Carrier cut both boards 8 and 39. Since they did this, they have found the need to augment at least one of those boards on several occaisions. If you become aware of this happening, please let me know so that I can inform the oldest man with a bid for that job. When they do this, it costs them twice, but only if we all work together and keep each other informed.
Per Article 13 of the 1996 National Core Agreement,
"When there is no rested, available engineer working in engineer service on a seniority district and it is necessary to use a post October 31, 1985 engineer currently working in ground service as an emergency engineer, the employee so used will be paid the greater of what he earns as an engineer or what he would have earned had he remained in ground service and the senior engineer on the seniority district with a standing bid on file for the engineer's extra board will be paid the greater of the earnings of the assignment or a minimum of one guarantee day at the current guarantee board rate of pay. If the employee so used is also the senior engineer with a standing bid on file for the engineers' guaranteed extra board, he will be paid one guarantee day in addition to all other earnings."
