PARTIES TO DISPUTE:

SYSTEM FEDERATION NO. 22, RAILWAY EMPLOYES'

DEPARTMENT, A. F. of L.-C. I. O. (Machinists)




DISPUTE: CLAIM OF EMPLOYES: 1. That under the applicable agreements the Carrier improperly compensated Machinist Roy C. Compton for the September 5, 1955 Labor Day Holiday, by granting him only five (5) hours' holiday pay.


2. That, accordingly, the Carrier be ordered to additionally compensate Machinist Roy C. Compton in an amount equivalent to three (3) hours' pay for the aforesaid holiday.


EMPLOYES' STATEMENT OF FACTS: Roy C. Compton, hereinafter referred to as the claimant, is employed by the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway Company, hereinafter referred to as the carrier, as a machinist at Wichita, Kansas. Claimant is regularly assigned on Monday through Friday from 7:00 P. M. to 3:00 A. M., with Saturday and Sunday as rest days.


The claimant was not required by the carrier to work on Monday, September 5, 1955, the Labor Day holiday. The carrier compensated the claimant in an amount equivalent to five (5) hours' pay for the holiday. The carrier has declined to grant the claimant eight (8) hours' pay at the pro rata hourly rate of the position to which the claimant is assigned for the Labor Day holiday.


This dispute has been handled with the carrier up to and including the highest officer so designated by the carrier, with the result that he has declined to adjust it.


The agreement effective January 1, 1945, as it has been subsequently amended, is controlling.


POSITION OF EMPLOYES: Article II, Section 1 of the August 21, 1954, agreement reads as follows:

work assignment was 7 P. M. to 3 A. M. Monday through Friday with rest days Saturday and Sunday. The September 5, 1955 Labor Day holiday fell on a work day of the work week of the claimant. He did not work on that holiday and was paid five (5) hours at the pro rata rate of pay. The claim here is for an additional three (3) hours at the pro rata rate of pay. The applicable part of the Agreement above-mentioned provides:


            "ARTICLE II-HOLIDAYS


    Section 1. Effective May 1, 1954, each regularly assigned hourly and daily rated employe shall receive eight hours' pay at the pro rata hourly rate of the position to which assigned for each of the following enumerated holidays when such holiday falls on a workday of the workweek of the individual employes:


      New Year's Day Labor Day

      Washington's Birthday Thanksgiving Day

      Decoration Day Christmas

      Fourth of July


    Note: This rule does not disturb agreements or practices now in effect under which any other day is substituted or observed in place of any of the above-enumerated holidays."


To apply this rule to the facts of this case, it is our view that the claimant here, a regularly assigned hourly rated employe, will be paid according to the calendar day upon which he begins work; viz: Monday when not a holiday; so having qualified in all respects for holiday pay under the National Agreement of August 21, 1954 he should receive the pay specified in that Agreement for holidays. To pay less would not give affect to the intention of the parties making that Agreement.


                  AWARD


Claim sustained per findings for three (3) hours at the pro rata rate of pay.
