Screenshot of text reading: 2nd Class of Service - Cost: $1.8 million - Per article 2(b) of the BLE Agreement, an engineer will be paid an additional day’s pay, in addition to the earnings of his scheduled assignment, when after reporting for duty he is assigned to another class of service. For example, if an engineer reports to his regular passenger assignment and then is later assigned to yard or freight service, he will receive an additional day’s pay. Conductors have a similar work rule in article 2 of their Trainmen Agreement, however, they are paid a half day’s pay for each penalty. *According to the Vice President of Labor Relations, this rule can be traced back to at least March 1924 where it was a part of the agreement between the LIRR and the BLE.*
