Reroute Miles Livonia - Houston

Brothers,

 

I just got off the phone with Gary Taggart regarding the reroute miles on the long pool B372 RE47 running between Livonia – Lafayette – Alexandria and Houston via the BNSF due to the bridge being out.  Carrier has agreed to pay the additional 50 miles for the long pool because the total miles exceeds the mileage built into the trip rate.  This would only be payable when you work from Lavonia – Lafayette – Alexandria back to Houston.  If a crew deadheads the additional miles will not be payable. 

 

Those payments should begin effective today.  Any crews that made trips over this territory prior to June 27, 2007 should fax a list of those trips and trains worked to our office so we can present a list to Labor Relations for payment.  Fax 504-371-4756.

 

Please distribute this to all of our membership so they can be properly compensated for this service.

 

If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Fraternally,

Gil Gore
