Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing
thereon.
With the scrapping of the wrecker derrick and the tool cars of
the Richmond-Fulton wrecking outfit, Carrier abolished the wrecking
crew assigned at that location. The Organization's Claim contends
that these abolishments violated its Agreement and seeks an order
from this Board that the crew be reestablished.
This record does not establish that the scrapping of the
wrecker derrick and the abolishment of the wrecking crew was in
violation of Rules 18 (a), 157 or 158, or Article VII of the
December 4, 1975 National Agreement. The Claim is without merit.
