Answer B. Good Faith Challenge Procedure
1. An employee may inform a supervisor issuing a directive that a good faith determination
has been made that the directive would violate a railroad operating rule relating to
• Shoving movements.
• Leaving equipment foul of an adjacent track. or
• Handling of hand-operated switches or fixed derails.
2. The supervisor will not require the employee to comply with the directive until the challenge
is resolved. The supervisor may
• Require the challenging employee to perform other tasks not related to the challenge
until the challenge is resolved.
or
• Direct an employee, other than the challenging employee, to perform the chal- lenged task
before the challenge is resolved. Employee so directed will be informed of the challenge, and
determine that the challenged task does not violate the rules.

Answer C. Resolving Good Faith Challenge
1. A challenge may be resolved by one of the following
• The supervisor's acceptance of the employee's request.
• An employee's acceptance of the directive.
• An employee's agreement to a compromise solution acceptable to the person issuing the
directive.
2. If the challenge cannot be resolved because the supervisor issuing the directive has
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.
3. If the manager making the final decision concludes that the challenged directive would not
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.
