3.

OPINION OF BOARD: On the dates set out in the Statement of Claim, Signal Maintainer Yuknis, a relief signal maintainer with headquarters at 61st Street, Chicago, Illinois, was used by Carrier to work in a programmed modification of its signal system at Joliet Union Depot Interlocking Plant, Joliet, Illinois. The Petitioner contends that this violated the rights of Claimant M. L.
