PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood (GL-8909)
that:
(1) Carrier violated the Agreement between the Parties when, on
May 31, 1976, (Memorial Day), July 5, 1976, (Independence Day), and September 6,
1976, (Labor Day), it closed the continuous around-the-clock Train Order Offices
at RH and NA Towers, Cincinnati, Ohio, causing and permitting employees not
covered by the Clerk-Telegrapher Agreement to perform work required by Carrier
which is normally and customarily performed by each assigned position at the
two Train Order Offices, seven (7) days of each week, and
(2) As a result of such violative acts, Carrier shall compensate the
employees assigned to the two Train Order Offices, eight (8) hours' pay at the'
rate of time and one-half on each of the three (3) enumerated Legal Holidays,
as follows:
R. A. Braun 1st trick RH Tower May 31,

5 and September 6, 1976.
D. E. Schreiner 2nd trick RH Tower May 31,

OPINION OF BOARD: On the three claim dates here involved, all legal holidays,
the several Claimants listed in the Statement of Claim did
not work. The Organization alleges, however, that work assigned to Claimants'
positions was performed by Train Dispatchers on those dates. Performance of
Operator's duties by Train Dispatchers on holidays, the organization argues, is
in violation of the Work on Unassigned Days Provision of the parties' agreement.
Docket Number CL-23215 Page 2
The Carrier argues that Claimants' positions were properly blanked on
the holidays in question and that "Positively no work belonging to the Claimant
Operators was performed by Train Dispatchers on any of the dates of claim."
We have examined carefully the entire record in this dispute and we
are unable to find where any work of Claimants' positions was performed by Train
Dispatchers on the-three holidays.
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 Employee 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 not violated.
A W A R D
Claim denied.
