Process for Requesting Unpaid Days Off for Preventative Medical Visits
(02/02/23-1000 )

Current Process (02/02/23)

We have been notified by our General Committee of Adjustment (GCA-953) that Union Pacific(UP) currently does not have programming in place to handle requests for unpaid days off for preventative medical visits as granted in the 2022 National Agreement - Side Letter#3.  Until the programming is completed, the following process is in place:

  • Members must email their request to GCA-953's email address below at least 35 days in advance of the visit.

    • medical_layoff@utu953.org

  • Members must provide the following information in the email request to GCA:

    • Employee Name

    • Employee ID#

    • Date of Appointment

    • Any need for preparation or recover days (ex: colonoscopy prep)

  • GCA-953 will send the request to UP for processing and approval.

    • This may seem redundant, but it will allow the GCA to follow up and track each request until the programming is completed.
