THIRD DIVISION
(Supplemental)
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company that:
EMPLOYES' STATEMENT OF FACTS: This is one of three claims which arose because of the manner Carrier assigned signal forces to work together in making changes at Joliet UD Interlocking Plant on various dates from October 27 to November 10, 1964. These three claims were handled separately on the property, and are being progressed to this Board under our file numbers NRAB-1645, 1650 and 1651. For ready reference, here are the respective file numbers on them:
The claim on behalf of Peet for Leading Signal Maintainer pay for seven hours each day is based on our contention he was working with and/or super-
vising the work of other employes on his territory that amount of time each day.
Peet made an initial presentation of a claim by submitting overtime reports for 2 hours' overtime each day. The Organization's handling of the claim began with the Local Chairman's presentation to Signal and Communications Supervisor on December 30, 1964. It was subsequently handled in the usual and proper manner on the property, up to and including the highest officer of the Carrier designated to handle such disputes, without receiving a satisfactory settlement.
Pertinent correspondence exchanged on the property is attached hereto as Brotherhood's Exhibit Nos. 1 through 9. Not shown is an exchange of correspondence extending the time limit to March 14, 1966.
The Memorandum of Agreement cited above is attached hereto as Brotherhood's Exhibit No. 10.
There is an agreement in effect between the parties to this dispute, bearing an effective date of July 1, 1952, as amended, which is by reference made a part of the record in this dispute,
1. There is an agreement in effect between the parties to this dispute bearing an effective date of July 1, 1952 on file with your Board which by this reference is made a part of this submission.
2. This submission covers three separate claims filed by the Employes as a result of Carrier's use of a relief signal maintainer with headquarters at 61st Street, Chicago, Illinois, to perform work at Joliet, Illinois, on various dates between October 27, 1964 and November 10, 1964.
3. To avoid burdening the record Carrier has not included copies of the correspondence on the property concerning these three claims as it is thought the Employes would produce such correspondence as a part of their submissions. However, Carrier will refer to various portions of this correspondence, as necessary, and reproduce pertinent portions of same. Carrier will also take exception in its rebuttal statement to any errors or omissions in the Employes' reproduction of such correspondence.
4. Carrier's Exhibit A is a copy of a Memorandum of Agreement dated September 9, 1954, which established the Vacation Relief Signal Maintainer's position whose use at Joliet precipitated these claims.
OPINION OF BOARD: Since parts (a) and (b) of this claim are essentially the same as those disposed of in Award Nos. 16082 and 16083, and since the record contains no evidence of probative value that Claimant supervised other employes as claimed under part (e), we will deny the claim.
