 I was stationed at Pier 52, West 12th St., New York City and my job was abolished and terminated by the company, for no reason.

OPINION OF BOARD: The claim herein is based on an occurrence alleged to have
 transpired about twenty-five years ago and there is no evidence that this claim was presented or handled on the property at any time. The claim, therefore, was not handled on the property in accordance with the provisions of the applicable collective bargaining agreement or as required by Section 3, First (i) of the Railway Labor Act and Circular No. 1 of the National Railroad Adjustment Board. For this reason the claim is barred from consideration by this Board and must be dismissed.

 to this dispute due notice of hearing thereon, and upon the whole
 record and all the evidence, finds and holds:
