Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Kentucky and Indiana Terminal Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the Committee of the Brotherhood (GL-9008)
that:
Carrier violated the agreement, twice on Di:cember 14, 1978, when
it required and/or permitted the conductor of Airlint: Train No. 112-124's
connection to handle (copy) train order Nos. 111 and 118, via Radio Communication.
Carrier shall because of this violation, ctmipensate the senior available
employe, extra in preference, for a minimum of
3
hours pay for each violation at
the rate of pay in effect at the V.I. Tower on this late.
OPINION OF BOARD: The Organization claims that Carrier violated the Agreement
when an employe of the Southern Railway handled train orders
on December
14,
1978. It contends that the train orders should have been
performed by employes of the Kentucky and Indiana Railroad Company (K.I.T.) The
Employes ask that the senior available employe be pa:Cd for a minimum of three
(3)
hours pay for each of the two violations on December
14,
1978.
Carrier argues that it has not violated the Agreement. It contends
that the train order was submitted by a southern Dispatcher to a K.I.T. Operator
who, in turn, delivered the order to the Southern conductor. In its view, no
unauthorized individuals were involved in the transaction.
We agree with Carrier's contention that the method used in transmitting
the train order would be proper on the Southern Railway. However, the train
orders were transmitted from a K.I.T. terminal. For this reason, the K.I.T.
rules must apply. This is not a situation where policy is being dictated to an
owner railroad. Rather, this is simply a situation where we are adhering to the
requirements of the Agreement reached between these parties.
Rule 1, Scope, and Rule 2, Handling of Train orders, clearly indicate
that the work should have been performed by an employe or employes covered by
the Agreement. Therefore, Carrier violated the Agreement when its non-covered
employes handled the train orders. We will direct that a call, as specified
under the Agreement, be paid. Any other claim for compensation is rejected.
FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and
all the evidence, finds and holds:
Award Number
