pool. Should their pool turn be out, they may be placed at the bottom of the pool
after 30 hours, calculated from the time off for miles end. (0001).
(b) When adjusting the pools, or changes due to seniority moves, arrival time at outer main track switch or held out time will apply for the purpose of establishing Engineers turns in their new pool or on the spareboard.
Engineers who are working at the time of crew change, upon arrival at the home terminal, will have their turn placed in their new pool or spareboard based on their last arrival outer main track switch or held out time. Should times be identical, seniority will govern order of placement. When deadheading by bus, turn will be established no earlier than the scheduled arrival time of the bus. If deadheading by taxi, a minimum of two hours and thirty minutes (Maple Creek Sub) and three hours and fifteen minutes (Brooks Sub) calculated from order time will be used as the standard travel time of taxis. An employee moving from a yard or other assignment, or when no switch time is available, will be placed at the bottom of the pool or spareboard at 22:01 Sunday in seniority order. If working on their assignment at the time of the crew change then they will be placed at the bottom of the Pool or Spareboard at their off duty time.
Pool Engineers changing pools, who are off for any reason, and whose turn is working at the time of crew change, will have their turn placed in the new pool based on their TURNS outer main track switch or held out time.
Engineers off for any reason except miles, and being placed on the Engineers Spareboard will establish their turn on the bottom of the spareboard on their TURNS outer main track switch or held out time or when booking okay for duty whichever is later. Engineers off for miles at the weekly crew change will be placed at the bottom of the spareboard at 22:01 Sunday.
Spareboard Engineers off for any reason, who are placed in pool positions will have their turn established at the bottom of their new pool at 22:01 Sunday, in seniority order or their book on time if prior to 22:01 on Sunday.
(c) When an Engineer is on rest at the home terminal and subsequently makes himself unavailable, the rest for his turn is removed and the turn will be marked accordingly.
(d) Conductors/Trainmen set up to an Engineer Pool or Spareboard from a Conductors Pool or Spareboard will have their turns placed in their new Pool or Spareboard as per 3.1 (b).
3.2 Locomotive Engineers off duty and available for a two hour call will be called before a Locomotive Engineer that is still on duty regardless of AOMTS or held out time. Engineers may take less than a 2-hour call when no other Engineers are available.
3.3 Pool Engineers unavailable for duty will not be called for a minimum of 12 hours. Should an Engineer’s turn be out of the home terminal in excess of 30 hours, at the expiration of 30 hours, they may book on and establish a new turn in the pool. Should the pool Engineer utilize this rule, the original turn will be removed upon arrival at the home terminal. Should there be a shortage of manpower, the 12-hour penalty clause may be rescinded.
3.4 When two or more pool Engineers miss a call when called in their respective pool, the Engineer standing FIRST OUT, will bear the 12-hour penalty. Following Engineers will hold their turn in the pool. Should there be a shortage of manpower, the 12-hour penalty clause may be rescinded.
3.5 Pool Engineers’ turns will be established based on the AOMTS or held out time. When deadheading by bus, turn will be established no earlier than the scheduled arrival time of the bus. If deadheading by taxi, a minimum of two hours and thirty minutes (Maple Creek Sub) and three hours and fifteen minutes (Brooks Sub) calculated from order time will be used as the standard travel time of taxi’s.

No scoop rule - Q & A’s – All members Division 322
• From the Home Terminal (Medicine Hat) you will be placed in order at the AFHT (Alyth or Swift Current) according to "Called Time". Board placement is done automatically by the CMA system upon tie-up.
• Once off duty at the AFHT you will establish your turn there. If “scooped” at the AFHT because you were on MTOD, unless personal rest is booked, or scooped enroute from the AFHT to the home terminal, you have the option of repositioning your turn in Medicine Hat to the order that you were called at the AFHT. You may not reposition at Home if you were scooped because of personal rest booked or you were scooped while working a tour in Turn Service out of the AFHT.
Q) I was scooped by a crew to the AFHT and they were called to work home before I was off duty at the AFHT. Can I reposition my turn when I arrive back home?
A) NO
Q) I was scooped by a crew to the AFHT and they were called for Turn Service at the AFHT before I was able to take a call. Am I ahead of them when they tie-up from the Turn Service tour of duty if I am still there?
A) NO. They were called out of the AFHT before you were off duty so they are ahead of you and you can not reposition ahead of them.
Q) I am on MTOD at the AFHT and a crew behind me goes to work before I am off MTOD. Can I reposition my turn when I arrive back home?
A) YES, providing you did not book any personal rest in addition to MTOD or were working a tour in Turn Service at the AFHT when they were called.
NOTE: This also applies to RTE's required to reset their 18-hour clock.
Q) I am a Spareboard Employee and am enroute from Alyth to Medicine Hat and am scooped by another Spareboard Employee. Upon arrival at Home the person who scooped me is tied up but there is another Spareboard Employee who arrived from Swift Current in between us. Can I reposition my turn ahead of the person who scooped me?
A) YES. Because you were scooped by another spare employee you may reposition ahead of him regardless of who tied up in between you.
Q) I am working from Swift Current to Medicine Hat in Straightaway Service and am scooped by another straightaway crew. Upon arrival at Home the crew who scooped me has tied up but there is a crew who worked a Turn in between us. Can I reposition ahead of the crew who scooped me?
A) YES. This is the same as above. As long as you were scooped, you may reposition yourself regardless of who tied up in between you.
Q) I am working from Swift Current to Medicine Hat in straightaway service and am scooped by another straightaway crew. Upon arrival at Home the crew who scooped me has tied up at 21:00 on Sunday. We arrive at 22:30 and at the crew change a crew has been added between us. Can I reposition ahead of the crew who scooped me?
A) YES. This is the same as above. As long as you were scooped, you may reposition yourself regardless of who is in between you.
Q) I am working from Swift Current to Medicine Hat in Straightaway Service and am scooped by another straightaway crew who also scoops the crew in front of me. The crew in front of me does not take their turn back. Can I reposition ahead of the crew who scooped me?
A) YES. Just because the crew in front of you does not want their turn back does not stop you from repositioning yours.
Q) I am working from Alyth to Medicine Hat in Straightaway Service. I follow “C” who scoops “B”. On arrival at Medicine Hat “B” does not reposition his turn ahead of “C”. Can I reposition ahead of “B” because I followed him out of Alyth even though I did not get scooped?
A) NO. Who you followed has no bearing. If you were not scooped by anyone you cannot reposition your turn.
Q) A crew ahead of me is called in Turn Service at the AFHT and I get called for a Straightaway trip home before they return. The Turn Service crew ties up at the AFHT and then deadheads home arriving before I do. Can I reposition ahead of that crew at Home?
A) YES. The crew ahead of you was called in Turn Service at the AFHT and because of that; you are ahead of them upon arrival at Home. In essence you are being scooped by them when they deadheaded home therefore you may reposition your turn if so desired.
Q) A Spareboard Employee is scooped by a Pool Employee enroute home. Upon tie-up, can the Spareboard Employee have the turn he occupied repositioned ahead of the turn that scooped him?
A) NO. A vacant turn is positioned according to switch time no matter what happened to it while it was gone. The No-scoop clause applies only to the person being scooped and not a vacant turn.
NOTE: This also applies to whoever owns the turn where he is keeping track of it when he is booked off. He cannot call the CMC and have his turn repositioned after it is tied up when he didn't work it.
Q) A Pool Employee is scooped by a Spareboard Employee enroute Home. Upon tie-up, can the Pool Employee have his turn repositioned ahead of the vacant turn?
A) Yes

Question and answer for Local agreement signed May 30, 2003
Q 1. How do I put in my ticket for a straightaway trip under this agreement?
A. If you deadhead into service you do not show a Work began time. The OMTS time is to be entered for the time you leave the initial station.
If you are relieved enroute and deadhead to the objective terminal you do not enter a Relieved Responsibility time. The time you arrive at the station is to be entered as Arrived OMTS.
Q 2. Do I get the fixed mileage when I deadhead from terminal to terminal?
A. NO
Q 3. Do I get the $80.00 if I am not over 10 hours on duty?
A. NO
Q 4. If I arrive at the AFHT or commence deadheading out of service before 10 hours and did not give notice and I am over 10 hours on duty how do I claim the $80.00 payment?
A. Submit a Miscellaneous G8 claim on the working ticket with the notation “Claiming $80.00 as per Medicine Hat Local Agreement Dated May 30, 2003.”
Q 5 If I hang around the station when my train has gone to get the $80.00 could this be considered theft?
A. Yes. Management will be monitoring this situation closely at all times to ensure that only employees rightfully entitled will receive this payment. It is up to an employee to decide if they would rather have $80.00 or their job. There is no defense for theft and an employee may be dismissed and not get their job back.
Q 6. If I “PF5” at 9 hours 55 minutes and make it 10 hours and 1 minute off duty am I entitled to $80.00?
A. No the “PF5” time will determine if a person is entitled. As in Q. 5 the honesty of the employees is essential for this agreement to work.

LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY
AND THE TEAMSTERS CANADA RAIL CONFERENCE
(MEDICINE HAT TCRC-LE DIVISION 322)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.0 Purpose of Agreement
This agreement will stipulate a process for Locomotive Engineers to be able to book or extend rest in a Pool or Spareboard in order to attend a previously booked Doctor or other similar type of pre-booked appointment, as deemed appropriate by a Company Manager.
2.0 Coverage
Locomotive Engineers in unassigned service with a home terminal at Medicine Hat will be governed by the terms of this agreement.
3.0 Specific Language
3.1 A Locomotive Engineer could request to book or extend rest in a Pool or Spareboard due to the requirement to attend a previously booked appointment (examples as below).
Some examples of valid reasons to request to book or extend rest are:
· Pre-booked Medical exam/procedure, such as a CPR Medical or an examination/procedure by a Specialist.
· Required attendance at a court proceeding, such as when subpoenaed as a witness (this would not include Jury duty or as a witness for the CPR, as these are covered in the respective collective agreements).
Some examples of where booking or extending rest to attend an appointment WOULD NOT be appropriate are:
· To attend a walk-in doctor on an ad-hoc basis.
· To meet with a lawyer for a non-CPR related reason.
3.2 If a Locomotive Engineer believes there is a valid reason to request to book or extend rest under the terms of this agreement, they must proceed as follows:
(a) Contact a local Field Operations Manager and explain the reason for the request. If the Manager DOES NOT AGREE that the request is valid, then the employee will not be allowed to book or extend rest. Do not contact a local union representative, as all such requests will be granted/denied at the discretion of Management only.
(b) IF THE MANAGER AGREES that it is okay to book or extend rest, the Manager will advise the employee that they will be allowed to book or extend rest and will ask what time the appointment/meeting is expected to end. The employee will then be advised that they may book rest until that time and the Manager will advise the CMC of the arrangement and that it is okay for this employee to book or extend rest, if they call and ask for it.
(c) The employee MUST contact the CMC to ask to book or extend rest if they will require it, as there may be occasions where the request was granted, but it subsequently is not necessary to book or extend rest. This is required, so that the turn is not given additional rest until the employee actually requests it, so that rest isn’t given by accident if the situation changes.
(d) Once the employee has completed their appointment/meeting, THEY WILL BE EXPECTED to be available for duty at the time their rest expires. If employees abuse the terms of this agreement in any manner, notice will be given by the Company to rescind this local agreement.
3.3 Employees should not make requests to book or extend rest far in advance of the actual date and time of the appointment. They should wait until it becomes apparent that if they don’t book or extend rest, it will be called to go to work and they would certainly miss the appointment.
4.0 Cancellation Clause
This Agreement is without precedent or prejudice to either party and can be amended, revised, or cancelled upon thirty days written notice by either party.
