The instant claim is one of four appealed by the Organization to protest the
Carrier's use of Trainmaster Mark Galvis to inspect freight cars on four separate dates
in the East Deerfield, Massachusetts, yard when Carmen were on duty and qualified
to perform this work. This claim seeks compensation for the Claimant for work
performed by Galvis on the morning of January 3, 2000, the Claimant's rest day.
With the exception of the identity of the Claimants, the specific freight trains in
issue, and the dates of the disputed work, this case is identical in all aspects, including
the correspondence on the property, to that decided by the Board in Second Division
Award 13724. We adopt the analysis and rationale of the Board set forth in that case
as applicable herein, and deny the instant claim for the reasons cited.
AWARD
Claim denied.
ORDER
This Board, after consideration of the dispute identified above, hereby orders
that an award favorable to the Claimant(s) not be made.
NATIONAL RAILROAD ADJUSTMENT BOARD
