(Brotherhood Railway Carmen/Division of TCU PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

1. That the Pacific Fruit Express Company violated the controlling agreement, particularly Rules 19, 20, 21 and 37, when Carman L. J. Blanchard, Jr. was recalled to service on December 11, 1986, but was not permitted to begin work until January 23, 1987.

2. That accordingly, the Pacific Fruit Express Company be ordered to compensate Carman Blanchard for all work days lost beginning on the date of December 11, 1986 to January 23, 1987, Tucson, Arizona.

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.



The facts in this Claim are almost identical to those involved in our Award 11827. As was the case in that Award, Claimant did not sign his medical form at the time he participated in a return to duty physical examination. On the date his properly completed paper work was received by Carrier's Chief Medical Officer he was advised by phone that he could return to duty. He returned to duty the next day. In the circumstances of this record we do not find that Carrier was dilatory or that the Agreement was violated. The Claim will be denied.
