STATEMHNT OF CIAIM: Claim of the System Committee of thqj~q_~4&d pa890)

that: :r:_,:

1. Carrier violated the Agreemeit between thd:-V&2itf'Jun19 through 23, 1978, they refused to al up on and work the position of a vacationing empIbye.

2. Mr. Jarrett shall be paid one additional days pay for each date of the vacation period.

OPINION OF BOARD: This claim is based on the alleged improper use of an employe
other than the claimant to fill a vacation vacancy on June
19 through 23, 1978. Claimant requested the work of the position of the second
trick IBM clerk the incumbent of which position was on vacation but was denied
the right to fill the vacation vacancy.

The Carrier has taken the position that there is no rule support for the position of the Claimant and further that the past practice on the property supports the Carrier's assignment of the vacation vacancy to an extra board employe junior to claimaat.

We find for the Carrier in the instant case. As between this Carrier and the Organization, there is no Agreement rule which supports the position of the Claimant. Further, the record supports the Carrier's position that its use of extra board employes as the regular vacation relief employes has been long-standing on this property without objection by the Organization. In the absence of contractual support for the claim, we must deny same.



That the parties waived oral hearing;

That the (terrier and the Employes involved is this dispute are respectively Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as approved Jute 21, 1934;

That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein; and

That the Agreement was not violated.
