Signalmen on the Kansas City Southern Railway Company:
On behalf of Signal Maintainer H. E. Souther for compensation at one
and one-half times his straight time rate of pay for four hours on July 21, eight
hours each on July 22 and 23, and four hours on July 24, 1969, account other than
signal employes (SERVITRON personnel) performing work in connection with taking
inventory of signal material, equipment and supplies at Pittsburg, Kansas. (Carrier's File: 013.31 -
OPINION OF BOARD: On the four claim dates in question a special inventory of
signal supplies and materials at Pittsburg, Kansas was conducted by a Signalman Helper and a rep
firm. The Employes contended that this constituted a violation of their Scope
rule and past practice.
The record in this case indicates that the instant work is not covered
by the Scope rule of the controlling agreement and, further, that there is no
showing that, per past practice, that this work has been performed exclusively
by employes of the Signalman's craft. We will deny the claim.
FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and
all the evidence, finds and holds:
That the parties waived oral hearing;
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 not violated.
