STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Percy Armatead, Chef Cook of the Dining Car Department of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, was suspended from service for a period of thirty days "For the reason that at the completion of your tour of duty as Chef on Dining Car 8028 on July 24, 1952, car was so unclean, unsanitary and unfit for food service that it was condemned by the U. S. Public Health Service until interior of the kitchen can be cleaned."
Claim is that Mr. Armstead be compensated for time lost resulting from this suspension and have such discipline stricken from his service record.
