Month: March 2019

The General Committee has signed a 30-day temporary operations agreement that will be in effect the month of April. The agreement text can be found in the “Agreements” section.

Additionally, the FRA has granted several regulatory waivers to the UP as part of an FRA Emergency Docket. This decision can be found in the “Information” section. Be advised that these waivers are not a “blank check” to violate existing regulations — there must be extenuating circumstances. Membership is encouraged to document any instructions that violate safety regulations and forward to the Legislative Representative, Jo Jones.

There will be a special information meeting tomorrow at 9am, March 22nd at Saints Ave Cafe in Boone.

It has come to our attention that the EAMS Pre-arranged PL/LV day system has been “double-booking” days for the same day — see the attached screenshot for an example. We are working with the carrier on a remedy to those this may have affected and hopefully a solution so that it does not occur in the future. In the meantime, you should check your pre-arranged history and ensure that you have not been affected.
