STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

be ordered to compensate Carman Mark C. Derocher in the
amount of two (2) hours pay, at the overtime rate."
FINDINGS:
The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all
the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employee or employees involved in this dispute
are respectively carrier and employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor .Act.,

Form 1 Award No. 13772
Page 2 Docket No. 13602
03-2-01-2-2
The instant claim, filed on December 15, 1999, alleges a violation of the
Classification of Work Rule by the Carrier's permitting other than Carmen to weld
on side sheets on one freight car owned by GE Railcar in Carrier's Rigby Yard on
October 22, 1999, work which the Organization contends is reserved to Carmen by
Agreement language.
This claim raises the issue of whether the Carrier retained sufficient control
over the contracting and disputed work solely by permitting it to be performed on a
cleanout track on its property so as to find the work covered by the Classiflcation of
Work Rule in the Agreement. Except as to date and number of Claimants, this
dispute is identical in facts and on property processing to that reviewed by the
Board in Second Division Award 13771, and, for the reasons set forth therein, the
Board reaches the same conclusion.
AWARD
Claim denied.
ORDER
This Board, after consideration of the dispute identifled above, hereby orders
that an Award favorable to the Claimant(s) not be made.
