(Brotherhood Railway Carmen/ Division of TCU
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southern Railway Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
1. That the Southern Railway Company violated Rules 134, 135 and
Article VII - Wrecking Service, of the current Agreement on June 14 and June
19, 1989 when they failed to assign or call Carman E. Dawson, an assigned
derrick groundman, to derailmE:ntS at Palmer and Wadley, Georgia respectfully.
Further, that the Southern Railway Company specifically violated the terms,
conditions, provisions and intent of the above quoted rules when they assigned
Carman D. G. Woodall, the assigned derrick engineer, to duties of a groundman
on the above referenced dates.
2. That the Southern Railway Company be ordered to compensate Carman
E. Dawson in the amount of eleven (11) hours at the overtime rate in effect on
June 14 and 19, 1989, this being the actual number of hours that he was
entitled to work at the derailments as listed; and that all future rights as
groundman positions at Macon, Georgia be fully protected.
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 Claim in this docket involves the same two derailments of June 14
and 19, 1989 as those dealt with in our Award 12360 decided this date. The
only difference in this Claim is a contention of the Organization that not
only was the work performed in Macon territory but that the Agreement was
further violated when a derrick engineer was used as a groundman. This Board
has rejected the territorial contentions of the Organization in Award 12360
and our reasoning will not be repeated here. With respect to the allegation
that a derrick engineer was improperly used as a groundman, the Board has
Form 1 Award No. 12361

searched the submission of the Organization and fails to find that it has
cited a single rule which would suggest that this procedure was an Agreement
violation. Accordingly, the Claim must be denied.
