A timeline has been provided by CSXT payroll relative to implementation of new wage rates under the UTU National Agreement.  That timeline can be accessed here.  Items in brackets were entered by the General Chairperson Lesniewski to illustrate that the $2500 offset for combination engineer/trainmen who received $2500 under Article 2 of the BLET SSA only applies to retroactive wages earned between July 1, 2005 and the effective date of the BLET SSA, April 25, 2007, under an Agreement his office signed with the Carrier.  Train service retroactive pay earned after April 25, 2007 will be paid to these combination engineer/trainmen regardless of whether the full $2500 bonus payment under the BLET SSA has been worked off or not.

Available here also, as a reminder, are letters dated June 16, 2008, relative to the $2500 bonus payment received by some of our combination engineer/trainmen employees, and June 23, 2008, regarding optional deferral of a portion of the employee’s back pay to their 401K account.
