LABOR MEMBERS' DISSENT TO AWARD NO. 6718,

DOCKET NO. 6553


      ., . ~,r .: -,

          It ^hras ~sfi.~Xted in the Findings in Award No. 6718, Docket


              No. 65~_; N"The basic issue is whether an outfit car used by employes as living quarters is a passenger or freight car within the meaning of Rule 83. * * *" .

    A summary of the application of second Division Award Nos. 6337, 4687, 4604 and Third Division Award No. 19095 were: given as to their relationship to the facts in the instant case.


          In the summation of Award No. 6337, the majority stated:


              "* * * The evidence of the organization and the Carrier establishes an understanding

'which includes camp cars in the Rule 144
              "`equipment classification of 'passenger and freight cars.' No such understanding exists in the instant claim before us."

    However, the majority overlooked the fact they had previously made the statement:


              "* * * If those outfit cars had been in the Shop it is agreed that the work would have belonged to Carmen. * * *."

    The Labor Members are at a loss to understand how it can be determined that the work involved on the outfit car and/or camp car is Carmen's work in the shop but not on the road. There is no question but when Carrier recognized that the work on outfit cars and/or camp cars was Carmen's work in the shop that the work fell within the scope of Rule 83, which reads in part:

            "Carmen's work shall consist of building, maintaining, dismantling (for repairs) painting, upholstering and inspecting all passenger and freight cars both wood and steel; * * * and all other work generally recognized as carmen's work."

    As pointed out above, Carrier agreed and the majority took no exception that the work involved would have belonged to carmen if the outfit car and/or camp car was in the shop. The fact that the outfit car and/or camp car was away from the shop does not change Rule 83.


        Rule 90 captioned "Road work" reads in part:


            "When necessary to repair cars on the road or away from the shops, carmen, and helper when necessary, will be sent out to perform such work * * *."

~;i Rule 27(a) reads in part:

            "(a) None but mechanics or apprentices

            regularly employed as such shall do

            mechanics' work as per the special rules

            of each craft * * *."

    The above rules were the same rules relied on in Award No. 6337. As to the facts in Award No. 6337 and in the instant award they are the same.

    The outfit cars and/or camp cars in Award No. 6337 were seventy-five (75) miles from the shop. Carrier submitted a statement from the Signal Engineer that the cars had been in the shop numerous times for repairs but were unsuccessful in getting work done at the shop.


                            - 2 - DISSENT TO AWARD NO. 6718,

                            DOCKET NO. 6553

However, the Carrier in Award No. 6337 took the position that these cars were not passenger or freight cars and submitted signed statements that for some twenty-five years Signal employes living in camp cars had installed oil heaters, gas cook stoves, repaired windows, repaired roof and painted the interior.
 As will be noted, the Carrier in Award No. 6337 took the: same position as the Carrier in this award, i.e. the work belonged to the Carmen's craft in the shop but not on the road. The majority in Award No. 6337 stated:

          "When a provision of a Labor Agreement is capable of two or more interpretations the generally accepted analytical procedure in railroad labor relations is to examine past practices to resolve any ambiguities. A past practice is established when a consistent procedure has been followed for a duration of time sufficient to show that the parties have mutually accepted one interpretation of the Labor Agreement. The carrier in this case introduced evidence tending to show that employees occupying camp cars have performed maintenance work including painting. In Signal Engineer Sampson's letter he stated in reference~to work on camp cars:


              'I have tried numerous times, but without success, to get work done at the shops. I had the cars over to shops for painting for two weeks and only ten feet was done on exterior painting. (Carrier's Exhibit D


          Apparently this carrier official understood that camp cars were included in the 'passenger and freight car' equipment classification, but because scheduling difficulties existed in the shop he and others resorted to self help to perform the maintenance or repair work on camp cars. * * *."


                          - 3 - DISSENT TO AWARD NO.: 6718,

                          DOCKET NO. 6553

Therefore, from the facts of record in Award No. 6337 and the instant award, it is clear to the Labor Members that the majority did not read the entire case in Award No. 6337.
 To further substantiate the Employes' position, Second Division Award Nos. 1269, 1656, 2214, 2357, 4217 and 5618 were furnished the Referee. Second Division Award No. 3406 was referred to in the Findings of Award No. 6337, which was available to the Referee.
 In Award No. 2214, the bunk car was one hundred seventy-seven (17?) miles from the point where Claimant was employed. Carrier, in Award No. 2214 stated two (2) reasons why the claim should be denied:

          (1) "* * * While these appurtenances may under certain conditions correctly be the subject of carmen's work, we most assuredly do not believe that the living quarters of these gangs can be classified as either freight or passenger cars so as to bring all work thereon under Rule 110 of the applicable agreement which provides:"

Then Rule 110 - Carmen - Classification of Work Rule was quoted.

 . (2) "For this reason, it has been customary for
          outlying maintenance and bridge crews who

          take pride in the condition of their living

          quarters at outlying points to make arrange

          ments for its ordinary upkeep."

The facts in Award No. 2214 are basically the same as in the instant case, i.e. Carrier contends that bunk cars are not classified as freight or passenger cars and that maintenance

                        - 4 - DISSENT TO AWARD NO. 6718,

                        DOCKET NO. 6553

          and bridge crews have customarily performed such work at out~- lying points. However, the claim was sustained in Award No. 2214.

          In Second Division Award Nos. 1269, 2214, 3406 and 4217_ it was held that work on camp cars and/or outfit cars was carmen's work.

          Second Division Award Nos. 4604 and 4687 were furnished the Referee by the Labor Members to show when this Division considered a "car" no longer being considered as rolling stock and had taken on the identity of a structure or building.

          In Award No. 4604, a truck and coupler was removed from the car and the car was used as a ramp. In this case the Board found that under the facts of record the car lost its rolling


          stock function and took on another use and characteristic, i.e.


          ·i a ramp.

          In Award No. 4687, the car was remodeled for an office for Yardmasters in which porches, railings and stairs were connected to the car. Carrier contended this car body was an office building and the work belonged to M. of W. employes. The Referee upheld Carrier's position.

          In comparing the facts in Award Nos. 4604 and 4687 with the facts in this case, the car in the instant case was not a building and was still rolling stock with all component part, attached. The same as in Award Nos. 1269, 2214, 3406 and 4217.


    ~-i - 5 - DISSENT TO AiVARD NO. 6'718,


                                          DOCKET NO. 6553

            The Referee referred to and quoted part of Third Divi-


        sion Award No. 19095 in support of his Findings in this case. The facts in Award No. 19095 briefly were that a Pullman sleeper car was placed on a concrete foundation after the draw bar, trucks and brake staff were removed and the car used as a dormitory for train service employes. The Board found that the car could no longer, under these facts, be considered as rolling stock and had taken on the identity of a structure or building.

        We point out that the facts leading to the decision in

        Third Division Award No. 19095 are different than the facts

'., ,.~-w, in this case. We reiterate that the car in the instant case
 was still rolling stock with all component parts attached and.

 . subject to be moved.from place to place on Carrier's lines.
        As stated by Referee Garrison in Memorandum to accompany Third Division Award No. 1680:


                "But in the case of this Board the composition of the referees is not stable; one goes and another comes. If referee A reverses referee B upon the same set of facts, the same rule, and the same presented data, he is simply substituting his own personal judgment for that of B. If he does so, the identical question, arising between other parties, will inevitably be presented to referee C, who will then have to choose between the opinions of B and A. His choice will not determine the matter, for the question will again come up before D, and thus the matter may never end."


                                - 6 - DISSENT TO AWARD NO. 6718,

      -. . DOCKET NO. 6553

      Referee Anrod stated in his Findings in Award No. 3954, the pertinent part of which reads:


                "It is a well-established rule of law generally observed in the application and interpretation of a collective bargaining agreement that such an agreement, as a safeguard of industrial and social peace, should be given a fair and liberal interpretation consonant with its spirit and purpose -disregarding, as far as feasible, strict technicalities or undue legalism which would tend to deprive the agreement of its vitality and effectiveness. See: Yazoo & M.V.R. Co. v. Webb, 65 F.2d. 902, 903 (Ca-5, 1933): Arbitration Award in re Cameron Iron Works, Inc., 25 LA 295, 299 (1955). * * *."

      The majority failed to carry out this well established rule of law in their decision in Award No. 6718.


            Therefore, Award No. 6718 is palpably erroneous.
