five
(5) hours
pay at time and one-half, account not being called for wrecking service
at Kent, Ohio, on August 13, 1970.
Findings:
The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record, and
all the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this
dispute are respectively carrier and employe within the meaning of the Railway
Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.
This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute
involved herein.
Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance a t hearing thereon.
On August 13, 1970, a derailment occured at West Yard, Kent, Ohio located
on Carrier's Kent Division. Carrier called carmen from Akron, Ohio (located on
the Kent Division approximately eleven (11) miles from Kent) to re-rail the cars,
and when it was determined that additional equipment would be required, an independent
contractor, who had the required equipment available, was called to the derailment.
On October 9, 1970, claims were filed by eight (8) carmen assigned to the
Brier Hill Wrecking Crew located on the Carrier's Mahoning Division approximately
-47 miles from Kent, Ohio.
Claims were originally submitted based-on a violation of rules 84 D,
84 E, 84 F, of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as well as the September 25,
1964 Agreement, specifically Article I, section 2C and Article II, Section 1, i
paragraph 1.
Form 1 Award No. 6495
Page 2 Docket No. 6318 i
2-EL-CM-t73
The claim before this Board is based only on a violation of 84 E which
reads as follows:
"When derailments or wrecks occur outside of yard or switching
limits requiring assistance other than a wrecking derrick,
a sufficient number of wrecking crew members will be called
to assist."
We do not find that there
is
a fatal variance between the claim as orignally
submitted and the one now under consideration. The September 1964 Agreement cannot
be considered by this Board since jurisdiction of grievances considered to be
within its purview, has by mutual Agreement of the parties been vested in the Special
Board of Adjustment 570.
It is clear from a review of the factual situation in this record, that
rule 84 E of the Collective Bargaining Agreement could not have been violated
because the derailment occurred inside the yard and not outside. In order for 84 E
to have been violated, the derailment would have had to occur outside the yard..
Furthermore, the derailment occurred outside the seniority district of claimants.
For the foregoing reasons,
we
will deny the claim.
