(a) Carrier violated the Rules Agreement effective February 1, 1968, particularly Rule 3-G2 (a) (1), the Scope Rule and the Extra List Agreement by failing to properly assign the remaining duties of abolished position G-340 at Shire Oaks, Pennsylvania, abolished October 12, 1971.

(b) J. F. Jobes, W. P. Veres, and all others affected by the improper abolishment of Position G-340 each be allowed one day of eight (8) hours at the appropriate pro rata rate of pay for October 12, 1971 and to continue for each consecutive date that the violation exists.

OPINION OF BOARD: Claimant herein was a first-shift Crew Dispatcher
at Shire Oaks, Pennsylvania, the incumbent of
Position G-340. The position was abolished October 12, 1971 and the work
transferred for the most part to West Brownsville, Pennsylvania.

The Claim herein is identical in all material respects to that described in Award 21583 and was part of the changing pattern of work at Shire Oaks initiated in 1971. Since the circumstances were identical, the reasoning in Award 21583 is equally applicable to this dispute, and is incorporated herein and included by reference.

For the reasons indicated in the prior award, the Claim will be sustained; however, there will be no monetary award.





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 violated.
