PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southeastern Demurrage and Storage Bureau
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood
(GL-7980) that:
(a) The Bureau has and continues to violate the Clerks'
Agreement when they established a new position of "Demurrage Clerk" at
Plant City, Florida on October 1, 1974 without bulletining this position
as provided for in the existing Rules Agreement.
(b) That the Bureau shall now be required to bulletin this
position as a new position and compensate Claimant G. M. Riley for each
of his regularly assigned days commencing October 1, 1974 and continuing
until the above position is bulletined at his basic rate of pay at the
pro rata rate in addition to any compensation he has already received.
OPINION OF BOPSRD: The record before the Board shows that effective
November 1, 1966, the Southeastern Demurrage and
Storage Bureau took over the complete maintenance of demurrage records
for the Seaboard Air Line Railroad at Plant City, Florida. At that time
the demurrage work was assigned to demurrage position located at Mulberry,
Florida.
Effective March 12, 1973, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad
notified the Demurrage and Storage Bureau that the services of the Bureau
would no longer be required at Plant City. On or about October 1, 1974,
the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad again requested that the demurrage work
at Plant City be performed by the Demurrage Bureau. The demurrage work
was again assigned by the Demurrage Bureau to the demurrage position
located at Mulberry, Florida.
The Petitioner contends that when the Demurrage Bureau resumed
the demurrage work at Plant City on October 1, 1974, a "Demurrage Clerk"
position should have been bulletined at that location.
