PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southern Pacific Company, Pacific Lines
_STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Signalmen on the Southern Pacific Company
(Pacific Lines) that:
(a) The Southern Pacific Company violated the current Signalmen's
Agreement, effective April 1, 1947 (reprinted April 1, 1958, including revisions) when it failed and
at the retarder yard at Eugene Yard on June 18, 1965, to employes not covered
by the Signalmen's Agreement.
(b) Mr. R. D. Hanson be allowed four (4) hours at the overtime
rate of Signal Maintainer, Retarder Yard Systems, for June 18, 1965.
/Carrier's File: SIG 152-185/
OPINION OF BOARD: This claim involves electrical work on the air compressor
of Carrier's retarder yard at Eugene, Oregon. We have
recently adjudicated two cases involving electrical work on this facility,
and have held that on the record presented in each case the work belonged
to Signalmen - Awards 19118 (Mesigh) and 19248 (Cull). There is nothing in
the record before us that would justify a different decision in this case,
and we will sustain paragraph (a) of the claim.
Petitioner contends that if Claimant had been required to perform
the involved work, "he would have been required to work overtime." The record
shows, without contradiction, that the Electrician spent only ten minutes
doing the work; therefore, Claimant will be allowed ten minutes overtime.
FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, after giving the
parties to this dispute due notice of hearing thereon, and upon
the whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:
:,

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.

indicated in the Opinion.
