BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS
THE PULLMAN COMPANY
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: * * * * for and in behalf of J. Craft, who is now, and for some time past has been, employed by The Pullman Company as a porter operating out of the New York Central District.
Because The Pullman Company did, under date of January 7, 1953, take disciplinary action against Porter Craft by giving him an actual suspension of ten (10) days, which action was based upon charges unproved, and was unjust, unreasonable, arbitrary, and in abuse of its discretion.
And further, for the record of Porter Craft to be cleared of the charge in this case, and for him to be reimbursed for the ten (10) days pay lost as a result of this unjust action.
OPINION OF BOARD: In view of the circumstances in this particular case, the claim should be sustained.
