Runarounds. Extraboard operators who, through no fault of their own, are runaround will receive a runaround payment. In no instance will runarounds apply to regular operators including regular operators working on the extraboard. Extraboard operators will verify that they are on the extraboard and in the correct position and immediately notify their supervisor when they have been placed in the wrong position on the board or left off the board. Regardless of circumstances, an operator will not be entitled to more than one runaround payment in any 24-hour period. Runarounds will be paid at the fixed rate of $80.00 per occurrence per approved runaround. If an operator is runaround and does not work within the next 12 hours, the operator will be entitled to pay for the assignment missed, and will not receive the $80.00 penalty. Only the first-up operator at the time of occurrence will be entitled to a runaround payment except when rental operators are used. If business plans indicate a potential operator or equipment shortage, the Company may assign a regular operator, part-time operator, or rental operator ahead of available extraboard operators. This will permit the Company to assign regular operators to work that will allow them to return home in time to be available to pull their next scheduled run. It will also permit the Company to assign rental or part-timer operators to assignments that will allow them to work and return home before their available period ends. The first-up extraboard operator missing an assignment under this provision is entitled to a claim under the runaround provision. When extraboard operators miss an assignment as the result of the Company using rental operators, runaround payments will be made to each qualified extraboard operator starting with the first-up operator on a one-for-one basis.
Runarounds. Engineers not called in their turn will be allowed one-half basic day and stand first out, if not called within eight hours, one basic day will be allowed and Engineer will stand first out. Engineers are not run around when they take the train for which called; however, it will be permissible to run an Engineer out on other that the train for which called, if practicable. Engineers cannot be runaround by Engineers going to a different destination (far terminal).
Runarounds. A terminal runaround may only occur when engineers from the same pool, going to the same destination, depart the same yard in other than the order called and both trains have their power attached to their train. "Depart" means that a train has started moving for a bonafide departure.
Runarounds. Time lost when a driver is not dispatched in the proper order under agreed upon dispatching rules between the Employer and the Local Union shall be paid at the hourly rate from the time the driver should have been dispatched until actual time of departure. In addi- tion, in the event the driver who is runaround is later dispatched on a run or trip that produces less money than the trip upon which he should have been dispatched, he shall be paid the difference unless mutually agreed otherwise. The intent of this Section is to compensate the driver for the loss of earnings caused by the runaround.
Runarounds. When available engineers are run around for their own convenience or at their own request, they will not be paid for the time lost. When not sent out in turn they will be paid one hundred miles for being run around and stand first out. Rule 47
