                3TATFMEPT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood (GL-9373) that:


1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties when it sailed J. C. Byrd (a trainee) to fill the position of Third Trick Telegrapher, Pekin., Illinois, on December 25, 1979.9 (n gal holiday) in lieu of the regular assigned employs, K. A. Stau
2. Carrier shall now be required to compensate K. A. Strnxtlammer one days' pay at the time and one-half rate of her regular assignment for December 25, 1979·

 OPINION (F HOARD: Claimant K. A. Stxauthammer was regularly assigned to the
 position of Relief Agent-Telegrapher-Clark in Pekinp
 Illinois. Her regularly assigned work week would have had her working the
 third trick on December 25, 1979, Christmas Day. Claimant was told, however.,
 that she would not be working the third trick on December 25. Carrier inter
 decided that it needed coverage on that trick, however., and called Claimant's
 home at about 9:00 p.m. to inform her that she should report to work. She
 did not answer the phone. Carrier then called a trainee who worked Malmant's
 regular shift. When Claimant discovered that the trainee had worked her shift,
 she filed a claim requesting one day's pay at time-and-one-half. (terrier
 denied the claim and it hoe progressed to this Hoard far resolution.

 There is no dispute that Claimant lv;d the right to work the third trick on December 25. It was her regularly ansigned shift. The only real issue before this Board is whether one call, a single attempt to contact an employe who should have been called, represented s sufficient effort on the part of Carrier*

 Based on the record before us, it is the opinion of this Board that Carrier could have and should have made mare of as effort to contact Claimant to inform her that she should report for work. One call in such a situation falls short of any reasonable definition of sufficient effort. Accordingly, the claim must be sustained.
