PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Burlington Northern Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
1. That in violation of the current Agreement, the Burlington Northern Railroad on seven (7) occasions in the month of June 1984, did arbitrarily
assign a Machinist Helper to perform work which contractually and historically
accrues to the Electrical Craft at its West Burlington Diesel Repair Facility.
2. That accordingly, the Burlington Northern Railroad be directed to
compensate Electrician Helper S.M. Connolly of West Burlington seven (7) hours
at the punitive rate which when broken down amounts to one (1) hour at that
rate for each of seven (7) violations.
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 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.
Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.
As third party in interest, the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers was advised of the pendency of this dispute
and filed a Submission with the Division.
In June 1984, Claimant worked as an Electrician helper at Carrier's
West Burlington Diesel Repair Facility. On seven occasions in June 1984, a
Machinist helper at West Burlington washed and cleaned electrical equipment
with a Proceco machine. The Organization filed a time claim on Claimant's
behalf, arguing that this work belongs to the electrical craft.
This Board has reviewed the evidence in this case, and we find that
the Organization has not met its burden of proof. There has been no showing
that the work performed by the Machinist craft belongs exclusively to the
Claimant. Therefore, this claim must be denied.
