(Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Southern Pacific Transportation Company
( (Pacific Lines)
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Signalmen on the Southern Pacific Transpor
tation Company:
(a) The Southern Pacific Transportation Company violated the
current agreement between the (former Pacific Electric Railway Company)
and its employes, represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen,
effective September 1, 1949 (including revisions) particularly the Scope
rule and rule 6 of Article 1, when it allowed Southern Pacific signal
department employes at the Los Angeles signal shop and also the Sacramento
signal shop, perform work that by Agreement belongs to former Pacific
Electric Railway signal department employes.
(b)
Messers, O
choa, Jaramillo and Collier, each be allowed
eight hours pay per day per man at the straight time rate for a signalman
for every work day and holiday, commencing with November 19, 1974 and
continuing until positions are established at Macy Street Yards for the
repairing of various items of signal equipment, such as GS Hydraulic
Gate Mechanisms, Wig Wag Mechanisms, plug-in and Shelf Type Relays, and
other signal associated equ~pment used on former Pacific Electric property.
/Carrier file: SIG 152-349/
OPINION OF BOARD: This dispute alleges that Carrier transferred certain
signal work from its former Pacific Electric Railway
signal shops to its Los Angeles Shops. Again, however, we are faced with
broad and sweeping allegations in Petitioner's presentation of the case on
the property and before the Board, and a total absence of any evidence
supportive of Petitioner's position.
As was the case in a very similar dispute between these same
parties in Award 21725, we have before us only indefinite and vague
conclusionary statements without evidence of probative value to consider
in reaching a determination of this dispute. With the record in this
state, we are unable to make an intelligent evaluation of the dispute and,
for the reasons stated in the above Award, we are constrained to likewise
dismiss this claim.

That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction
over the dispute involved herein; and
That the claim be dismissed.
