BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY AND STEAMSHIP CLERKS, FREIGHT HANDLERS, EXPRESS AND STATION EMPLOYES
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: (1) The Carrier claims it has the right to establish seven-day-per week service at its ore docks (Escanaba, Michigan and Ashland, Wisconsin) to enable it to currently handle iron ore.
(2) The Carrier further claims that seven-day positions may be set up to protect the service outlined in Section (1), and iron ore handlers coming within the scope of the Clerks' Agreement may be assigned five days of work and any two consecutive days, not necessarily including Saturday, Sunday or Monday, as rest days each week to perform such service.
(3) The Employes contend such arrangement would be a violation of Article II, Section I (d) of the 40-Hour Week Agreement made at Chicago, Illinois, arch 19, 1949, and the rules agreement for iron ore handlers, as revised and signed on April 21, 1950, to be effective as of September 1, 1949.
