ENGINEERS' 6 MONTH DISPLACEMENT AGREEMENT
The agreement that allows an engineer to exercise a displacement is now in effect on the AGS District of the Alabama Division.
No engineer has to use this rule, however, the option is open any time until he decides to use it. Once this roll is used, 6 months must pass before another roll will be granted under this rule. The time will start the date the bid is up on the job being vacated.
If an engineer decides to leave his assignment, which includes a position on the extra board, he must submit a written request to the BLE Local Chairman and Crew Management, requesting that his job be advertised. The request must include the job to which he will roll. At the end of the bulletin period, the moving engineer's vacated assignment will be filled by the successful bidder and he will be placed on the assignment that he requested. The request may not be withdrawn once the job is advertised.
The agreement requires a written request to the BLE Local Chairmen and Crew Management. The BLE Local Chairman will be responsible for maintaining a file in order to enforce the 6 month stipulation. If a request is submitted to Crew Management only and not to the BLE Local Chairman, the assignment will not be advertised.
Only one assignment may be advertised under this rule at any time. Same day requests will be allowed in seniority order.
When exercising seniority under this agreement, an engineer may roll any junior engineer, including any engineer in pool service. The engineer who is displaced by an engineer vacating his job under this agreement must exercise his seniority under the terms of our current contract, not the under the terms of this agreement.
Requests can be made by faxing written request to Crew Management and mailing or delivering same to the BLE Local Chairman or by using MEMO to send to the local chairman, print out your memo request and fax that to Crew Management. Files must be maintained on requests. That is why telephone requests are not acceptable.
