• Handling of hand-operated switches or fixed derails.

before the challenge is resolved. Employee so directed will be informed of the challenge, and

directive.

determined that the employee's challenge has not been made in good faith or there is no
alternative to the direct order, the railroad will
• Provide immediate review by at least one manager, which must not be conducted bythe
supervisor issuing the challenged directive or that supervisor's subordinate.
• Resolve the challenge using the same options available for resolving the challenge as the initial
supervisor.

cause the employee to violate any requirement of the involved rules, the reviewing manager's
decision shall be final and not subject to further immediate review.
