PARTIES TO DISPUTE:

BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY AND STEAMSHIP CLERKS, FREIGHT HANDLERS, EXPRESS AND STATION EMPLOYES


CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND AND PACIFIC RAILROAD

COMPANY


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Comnuttee of the Brotherhood that:




EMPLOYES' STATEMENT OF FACTS: December 1, 1951 the Carrier transferred the preparation of the 280 and 57 reports to the Night Chief Dispatcher, an employe not covered by the Clerks' Agreement, and on December 21, 1951, the Division Chairman filed claim with the Superintendent, in behalf of Stenographer-Clerk, George Awes, for three hours' pay at overtime rate, daily, account carrier, effective December 1, 1951, discontinuing the preparation of the 57 and 280 reports and consolidating these reports with a report known as the 5:00 A. M. Situation Report, prepared by the Night Chief Dispatcher. (See Exhibit No. 1. )


The employes contend that while possibly the 57 and 280 reports lost their identity as 57 and 280 reports, essentially the same information as these two reports carried was embodied within the 5:00 A. M. Situation Report; hence, charge Carrier with transferring work normally attached to the Stenographer-Clerk position to the Night Chief Dispatcher.


In Employes' claim before your Board in favor of Gordon Oswald at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the Carrier discontinued the Night Report Clerk, copy of 280 Report is attached as Exhibit "A"; copy of 57 Report as Exhibit "B"; and copy of the 6 A. M. Situation Report as Exhibit "C", which reports were prepared by the Night Report Clerk prior to abolishment of the Night Report Clerk position, and inasmuch as this information is before your Board in the Gordon Oswald (Night Report Clerk) claim, we will not again attach such copies.
