Dated at Chicago, Illinois, this 31st day of July 1975.
DISSENT OF LABOR IIVZ~IN 94ARDS 20787 and 20788 (Dockets CL-20729
and CL-20768 - Referee Quinn)
It is inconceivable that the majority herein would revert to
language of an Emergency Board established under Section 10 of the
Railway Labor Act, as amended, to deny a claim of an employe(s)
submitted to the Adjustment Board under Section
3
of the Railway
Labor Act, as amended.
The clairrant(s) herein did set forth a full statement of the
facts and all supporting data bearing upon the dispute(s). Such
facts apparently have been comuletely ignored by the majority; since
in lieu of rendering a decision based thereon, a portion of an
Emergency Board report is quoted in defense of the denial awards.
It is to be noted that the E^:ergency Beare report is a recommendation
which concerns a particular dispute and that dispute only--a dispute
which was never ^entioned or raised during the handling by the parties;
which to this d-to has not resulted in an Agreer^ent; and which, moreover,
deals 'with job stabilisation and retrair.in~; and has no bearing on the
disputes) here. Further, it is evident that the rights of the claimants) under an A~reernent which h
Rules 4 and 7, ·:.4iich entitle the ermloye(s) to promotion and
30
days in
which to qualify), have been denied.
These Awards are in palpable error, and the majority rave evaded
the responsibility of this Board to apply the clear provisions of the
Agreement. In view thereof, I dissent.
