( L. T. Caron
Parties to Dispute:
( Boston and Maine Corporation, Debtor
Dispute: Claim of Employer:
"1. Improper application of seniority."
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 employer involved in this dispute
are respectfully carrier and employer within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act
as approved June 21, 1934.
This Division of the Adjust:memt Board has jurisdiction over the dispute
involved herein.
Parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.
The Board set a hearing time and place for this dispute, and the parties
were properly notified. The Claimant failed to appear for the hearing.
The Board has nevertheless reviewed the entire record in this matter. It
appears the Claimant requests "equal treatment by my union" in reference to his
seniority standing. The Claimant makes reference to resolution of another
seniority matter affecting two employer, settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
There is no indication that the Claimant processed this dispute under Rule
29 through the various steps of the claims procedure. His submission of the
dispute directly to the Board rather than to the Carrier is entirely inappropriate.
A W A R D
Claim dismissed.
