The Claimant, Richard J. Suchon, is an employee of the Carrier at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and is employed as a member of the craft of Carmen. On February 14, 10'68, the position of Carman, work-i ng off a Road Repairman's extra list was advertised and on Februaz-f 27, 1968, that position i-ras awarded to the Claimant. The Claimant also worked as Caman on the repair track.

Rotoboom operator, he was considered to have forfeited arty right he might
have had to the Relief Road Truck position. The Carrier determined that
the Relief Road T-YL:c?: position shod-d be abolished because the previous
bulletining of the position had not accozr, " lished the ouf·poses :intended.
Carrier states that the ;practi caliti es of the situati..on with re-and to the
work available and the times -at trhich it s,-::s needed r~il-;tated in favor of
having the work performed from the overtL.Yne last ,dth an equal distribution
of time to Carmen of tiie overtime block. The Carrier contends that Paragrat~h
3 of Rule 15 governs this case. tara.graph 3 states:







The Carrier says that the Claimant exercised his seniority rights and thereby automatically te,tmnested his rights to the Relief Road Truck position which the Carrier at that point abolished.

The Organization contends -that the Claimant was not irmrediately notified that he had relinquished his rights to the Relief FF,oad Truck driver position, that other e_,r:ployees hold both a priz:;a.ry and secondary posi Lion tinder dual bulletins and that, therefore, the Claimant had been discriminated against within the meaning of !;ule ,84, Paragr:Lnh 1, which prohibits discrimination against Coi;mii.tteemen. The Clan-a nt ;vas a Local C om::i t teeman. The Organization also claims that Fide 10, Paragraph 1, relating to emergency road work was violated. Rule 10, Paragraph 1, provides:

the Road Truck driver mositi on under the provisions of the Agreement that
there was a violation of Rule 15, Paragraph 1 and Rule 27, =~wragraph 1,
because there was a deprivation of seniority. '1 "hose Rules provide:

the Carrier .no--; nts out that the General Chairman of the Or jwnization was,
in fact, notified, that the Rile clearly provides for forfeiture, that the
Claimant as Local Chai rn: an -rn is t reasonably have been expected to have been
familiar with the Ltale, and that there i s no reaui re:_ient of notification
