(Brotherhood Railway Carmen/ Division of TCU
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southern Railway Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
1. That the Southern Railway Company violated the terms of the current Agreement, specifically Rule 56, on January 25, 1989 when they deliberately removed the heat source on Track #6, Hayne Car Shop, Spartanburg,
South Carolina.
2. That the Southern Railway Company now be ordered to supply heat
consistent with the heat source available on Track #6, Hayne Car Shop,
Spartanburg, South Carolina.
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.
The essential facts show that the Carrier removed heaters located on
Track No. 6 at the Hayne Shop. Track six is an open work area with only a
roof for protection.
While there are a number of question raised in this case, especially
with respect to how this matter was handled, the record also shows that
heaters now have been reinstalled. It appears that the general situation and
conditions with respect to the availability of adequate heat for workers on
Track No. 6 are about the same as before. The Claim, therefore, is moot.
