SYSTEM FEDERATION NO. 16, RAILWAY EMPLOYES'
DEPARTMENT, AFL-CIO (Carmen)
1. That the Carrier violated the Current Agreement of January 1, 1943 as subsequently amended and, past practice of long standing when on the respective dates of March 11, 1968, March 20, 1968 and March 21, 1968, regularly assigned Welders and Car Repairers were taken out of the Shop and off their regular assignments as such, after beginning their tour of duty and put to work making terminal inspection of trains and cars in the yard, while other employes performed the work of their assignments on the Shop track, thus discriminating against said Welders and Car Repairers and, in effect nullifying their seniority right to bid on the type of work preferred.
2. That any such extra inspection work that was necessary to be done, should have been done by the Yard Inspectors, regularly assigned to such work and available from the Train Yard extra and overtime board and, that since this was not done, regularly assigned Yard Inspectors J. E. Porterfield, A. C. Lilly, G. W. Saunders, B. B. Noble and C. J. Bickford, who were available and eligible for such work, from the Train Yard extra and overtime board on the respective dates, each be allowed a call, or two (2) hours and forty (40) minutes at the punitive rate of pay, due to one car shop man performing extra yard inspecting on March 11, two on March 20 and two on March 21, 1968.
