PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
                (Burlington Northern Railroad Company


STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
"1) Carrier violated provisions of the BRAC Agreement when on July 1, 1981, it assigned Mr. G. E. Everton to position of Crew Dispatcher ((110 at Portland, Oregon.
2) Carrier shall now compensate Mr. T. M. Pike, Clerk, Portland, Oregon eight (8) hours pay at prorata rate of position #110 beginning July 1, 1981, and for each and every day thereafter he is withheld from position #110. This claim to be in addition to a11-other compensation received by Air. Pike."
OPINION OF BOARD: An employee in position #110, named Everton, exercised his option
 to displace a junior employee in position #111 when his work
 week was changed. While he was working there his vacant position was bulletined
 and Clerk Pike was the senior bidder. However, in the interim before the vacancy
 was filled, Everton was disgualified from position #111. He was then returned
 to his former position #110 which the claimant alleges was his by right of bid.
The claim asserted in this case is predicated upon a portion of Rule 11 of the agreement. Rule 11 reads as follows:
        "Rule 11. Former Position Vacant


        when an employee bids for and is awarded a bulletined permanent position., his former position will be considered vacant, and will be bulletined in accordance with Rules 9 and 10. Such employee will not be eligible to bid upon the vacancy thus created by him until it has been filled by bulletin at least once, unless tyre are no bidders in the seniority district upon such vacancy or unless the employee awarded the new position is displaced therefrom during the period his former position is under bulletin."(Emphasis added.)


Upon a review of the entire rule we find that the claimant's position is not supported by the rule. Hence the claim advanced must be denied.

        That the parties waived oral hearing;
