 DEPARTMENT, A. F. of L.-C. I. O. (Electrical Workers)
    THE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY


    DISPUTE: CLAIM OF EMPLOYES:


    1. That the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company violated the provisions of the current working agreement between the Carrier and System Federation No. 30, particularly Rules 29 and 125 when it assigned other than Electrical Workers employed in the Electrical Department of the Carrier to make routine electrical repairs and replace electrical equipment on elevator No. 303, located in the Northside Warehouse, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania between December 29, 1959 and January 19, 1960.


    2. That accordingly, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company (hereinafter called the Carrier) be ordered to compensate electricians Jas. O. Barr and John W. Mathews (hereinafter called the claimants) for a total 32 hours each, which represents the aggregate number of hours other than Carriers' Employes were used to perform the work between December 29, 1959 and January 19, 1960.


EMPLOYES' STATEMENT OF FACTS: At Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the carrier owns, operates and maintains what is generally known as the Northside Warehouse, the space therein being leased to tenants for the handling and storage of certain and various commodities transported via the carriers' lines and by means of other types of transportation as well as the distribution of these commodities by the various types of transportation. Originally, this facility was used both as a freight depot for handling the carriers' business as well as for storage facilities, but during recent years it has been utilized primarily for storage purposes and distribution of commodities received through the carriers' lines or by means of other transportation.


During the entire life of this facility, tenants were required to lease individual space, and included in such leases, certain facilities were made

Dated at Chicago, Illinois, this 20th day of November 1962.

DISSENT OF LABOR MEMBERS TO AWARD

NOS. 4091, 4092 AND 4093


The majority found that the work in these disputes was work included in the Electrical Workers Special Rules, but when making their Awards they ignored the provisions of the Agreement, as the pertinent parts of the rules read as follows:

    "Rule 29


    None but mechanics or apprentices regularly employed as such shall do mechanics' work as per special rules of each craft . . ."


    "Rule 125


    Electricians' work shall include electrical wiring, maintaining, repairing, rebuilding, inspecting and installing of all generators, switchboards, meters, motors and controls, static and rotary transformers, motor generators . . . inside and outside wiring at shops, buildings, yards, . . . and all other work properly recognized as electricians' work."


This Agreement was made pursuant to the Railway Labor Act, Section 2 Seven of which requires

    "No carrier, its officers or agents, shall change the rates of pay, rules, or working conditions of its employes, as a class as embodied

4092 -12 188

    in agreements except in the manner prescribed in such agreements or in Section 6 of this Act."


    Therefore the majority has erred in making these Awards.
