Award No. 7677
Docket No. 7441
2-N&W-CM-'78

"An employee shall not be discharged for any cause without first being given an investigation. If it is found that an employee has been unjustly discharged or dealt with, such employee shall be reinstated and shall, be compensated for the wage loss, if any suffered by him, the compensation earned by him in outside employment in the meantime shall be taken into consideration in determining the wage loss."

Rule 33, in contractually limiting the inherent right to arbitrarily issue discipline, imposed an obligation on Carrier to first hold an investigation. This deterent to stwnary Carrier action wa.s seen as being of mutual benefit. The Rake clearly provided for coTpensation only if discipline had been imposed, that there had been a wage loss suffered as a ,result thereof and that the appellant handling of the discipline assessed resulted in the conclusion that said discipline was unjust. The three conditions stipulated in the rule are not met by the facts of this case. Consequently, Rule 33 provides no support for the instant claims.

It had been long held that attending an investigation is not performing

service for the Carrier. (;See Awards 1632, 3484, 3492, 5871, 5872 and 6421.)

As pointed out in Third Division Award 21320 (Dorsey):

3426, 5870,

"In the absence of a specific provision in an Agreement that a charged party shall be paid for attendance at a discipline investigation hearing it is the .practice in the railroad industry that the employee is not contractually entitled to pay for tame in attendance at the hearing ...."

Absent a supporting rule this claim will be denied.

Claim denied.
