"The Board holds that the Claimant has thirty
days to furnish the Board proof that the Claimant
had the requisite training to be considered a
journeyman machinist under the terms of the
Collective Bargaining Agreement. The training
must be of the type described above. If he cannot
furnish sufficient proof to this Board, the Board
holds that he cannot be employed under the terms
of the Collective Bargaining Agreement as a journeyman machinist and will deny the claim."
The Claimant submitted evidence to the Board that his training was as a
service station mechanic in California. This does not meet the standard of
training, apprenticeship or otherwise, necessary to qualify as a journeyman
under the Agreement. Accordingly, the claim will be denied.
