PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Chicago Union Station Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: This is to serve notice as required by the Rules
of the National Adjustment Board of my intention
to file an ex parte submission in 30 days from date of this notice,
covering an unadjusted dispute between me and the Chicago Onion Station Company, located at 210 Sout
60606, involving the questions:
Claim violation is for sixteen hours of pay for two days of
work being denied to me after management allowed me to start a new
scheduled guaranteed forty-hour work week set forth by the Extra Board
Agreement as an extra board employee before this employment was terminated or abolished by managemen
in my employment at Chicago Union Station Company on or about June 14,
1973.
First Question: Does Rule 18 Reducing Forces in the current
Agreement between Chicago Union Station Company and the Steamship
clerks eliminate management responsibility to the extra board employees
in the fulfillment in work for the guaranteed forty-hour work week established by the Extra Board Ag
Second Question: Does Rule 18 Reducing Forces justify management refusal for wage compensation n
being denied to me that would have extended into my new position of
employment in order for management to fulfill their obligation for a
forty-hour guaranteed work week to me that started the day before my
extra board employment was abolished by management?
OPINION OF BOARD: Claimant was a Mail Handler on the extra Board,
with Monday and Tuesday designated as rest days.
On June 7, 1973, Carrier (by bulletin) abolished four (4) positions,
effective June 14, 1973, including the position then held by Claimant.
Thereafter, Claimant exercised his seniority rights to
another position, with Thursday and Friday designated as rest days.

Docket Number MS-20669
Claimant contends that he should be compensated for Thursday and Friday - the first two rest days of
(he argues) he was guaranteed a forty (40) hour work week on the abolished position, and the guarant
13, 1973. This contention is advanced notwithstanding the fact that
the position itself was abolished on June 14, 1973.
Carrier argues that Claimant's rights on the extra Board
ceased when his position was abolished, and he displaced to another
position.
We are unable to find any rule cited by Claimant which
supports his claim. Accordingly, the claim will be denied.
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 wit
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.
