Docket Number SG-15444
OPINION OF BOARD: This is the most recent to be adjudicated in a series of
claims involving the power plant and power distribution
system at the Carrier's car retarder yard at Eugene, Oregon. See Awards Nos.
10730, 13209, 13211, 13212, 13213, 13214, and 19118.
We find from the record that the work here in dispute was repair work
on said power plant and not work covered by the Carrier's Agreement with its
Maintenance of Way Employes. Therefore, and in line with our precedent awards,
we must sustain part (a) of each of these claims.
We find no support in the present record for sustaining part (b) of
each claim at overtime rate. Consequently, those parts are sustained but at
straight time rate.
FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment hoard, upon the whole record
and all the evidence, finds and holds:
That the parties waived oral heari.ng;
That the Carrier and the Employes involved in this dispute are
respectively Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act,
as approved June 21, 1934;
That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the
dispute involved herein: and
That the Agreement was violated.
