(Brotherhood Railway Carmen/Division of TCU
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southern Railway Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
1. That under the current Agreement the Carrier improperly assigned
the derrick operator's position on November 11 and 12, 1988 at Birmingham,
Alabama.
2. That accordingly, the Carrier be ordered to pay Carman B. D. Hand
twenty-six (26) hours pay at the overtime rate.
FINDINGS:
The Second Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record andall 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.
This Claim deals with actions taken by the Carrier concerning a derailment and resultant problems with hazardous material.
The Claimant asserts that the Carrier violated the Agreement since it
did not use Carmen to perform carmen duties.
The record shows a switching of certain positions and some possible
confusion of assignments on the days in question. Nonetheless, the Claimant
was designated in a standby capacity for certain labor, and the Carrier did
not utilize him; but instead used another employee who was designated into a
Foreman's position.

We find a violation, but the request for relief appears to be excessive, since the record shows that the Claimant did perform compensated service
for portions of the time involved. Thus, we award the Claimant straight time
rates for the time he was not already compensated during the claim period of
November 11 and 12, 1988. In this regard see the final sentence of Second
Division Award 10984, i.e. "In view of the fact the Claimant was working, this
Award is limited to the difference in the rates of pay for the hours in question."
