 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

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

The organization asserts the Claimant, A1 Nisson, was denied a fair trial when he bid for a bulletined position for an AAR Certified Welder at Kansas City and was the senior bidder. According to the organization, the Carrier denied the Claimant his contractual right to be assigned to the position of his choice and allowed the opportunity of a thirty (30) day period to qualify for the position.

 The Carrier argues the Claimant was not an AAR Certified Welder when he bid for Position #014. The Carrier contends this certification was a prerequisite for appointment to the position. Our review of the record supports a finding the Carrier properly denied the Claimant Position #014 based upon his failure to meet= the requirement of possessing AAR certification.
