Findings:

Award No. 7156
Docket No. 6989-T.
2-PCT-I-'76

The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

The carrier or carriers and the employs or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employs within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 193+.

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.



Review of the record clearly shows that the claim the Petitioner is attempting to assert before this Board was not handled on the property of the Carrier in accordance with the provisions of the applicable collective bargaining agreement and as required by Section 3, First (i) of the Railway Labor Act and Circular No. 1. of the National Railroad Adjustment Board. Further, certain aspects of the Petitioner's claim are covered for any applicable remedy under the Merger Protective Agreement exclusively. The Petitioner's claim is, therefore, barred from consideration by this Board.

Dear Mr. Haesaert: s,
The enclosed correspondence from John W. Kowalczyk
was referred to the National Labor Relations Board for con
sideration. A review of the materials submitted by Mr. Kowalczyk
indicates that the matter he complains of does not come under the
jurisdiction of this Agency. In these circumstances, I am
forwarding it to the National Railroad Adjustment Board for its
consideration. Mr. Kowalczyk has not been advised of this
s
referral.
                            Very truly yours,
