STATEMENT OF MAIM: "The Southern Railway Company violated the agreement with
the Brotherhood of railway., Airline and Steamship Clerks
(BRAC) when, on may 4, 197 , it abolished the positions of C. P. Fdington and
Q3arlea Richardson,, Agent/Operator/Clerks at Harriman, Tennessee, a station on
the Tennessee Division of the Southern Railway Company, and transferred the
work to employees at Oakaale,Tennesaee, a station on the Kentucky Division of
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway Co.,, and other employees
not covered by the Agreement, namely train crews, without making any provisions
whatsoever, namely an Implementing Agreement, to provide benefits for effected
employees.

The Claimants contend that provisions as outlined above would have been necessary before such a move could have taken place, in that not only was the work transferred from one Division to another, but is fact wen transferred from one Carrier to another. The Claimants are requesting the 'option' of: (1) Separation pay and (2) Sale of their homes to the Carrier and moving expenses to their present headquarters. In addition to these benefits, that would have been offered had such provisions as outlined above been made, the Claimants are requesting the 'option' of: (3) Merging their seniority, with full prior rights, into the Train and Engine Service Employees Seniority Roster, details to be outlined later."

on Carrier's Knoxville District. Both were employed at
Harriman, Tennessee when certain work functions and consequently their posi
tions were abolished. Both exercised their seniority on positions at Clinton,
Tennessee. _

The claims as stated are said to be founded on as Agreement of 1965 with the BRAC. That Agreement cousins its own disputes resolutions provision and anything arising thereunder is without the ,jurisdiction of the Board. See Awards 19296, 18602, 17516, 14979 and any others.
