STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:
(1) The Agreement was violated when the position of Carpenter at Sunnyside
Yard, New York as advertised by Bulletin No. 350.45 was awarded to junior applicant
M. Jones instead of M. J. Dunn on October 3, 1980.
(2) The agreement was further violated when the Carrier omitted Mr. M.
J. Dunn's name from the 1982 B&B Seniority Roster and subsequently terminated him
from service effective June 24, 1982.
(3) The claim' as presented by Mr. M. J. Dunn on March 23, 1981 shall
be allowed as presented because the claim was not disallowed by Assistant Chief
Engineer-Structures A. B. Smythe (appealed to him on May 14, 1981) in accordance
with Sections (b) and (d) of Rule 64 (System Docket 3121.
(4) As a consequence of either or both (1l and/or (3) above, Mr. M. J.

"The letter of claim will be reproduced within our
initial submission.
OPINION OF BOARD: The record shows that Claimant entered Carrier's service
July 15, 1976. At the time of the occurrence giving rise to
the claims herein, he held seniority as a Carpenter Helper, and on October 6,
1980, he was awarded a position as Painter.
The record shows that Part (1) of the claim is pending before Public
Law Board No. 2406 for final adjudication. This being the case, it would not be
proper for this Board to take any action concerning Part (1), and it will be
dismissed. Parts (3) and (4)
of
the claim stem from Part (1), and they will be
dismissed. The record shows that Claimant had no seniority as a Carpenter or a
Mason and had no entitlement to recall to a Carpenter position.
The Carrier contends that Parts (2) and (5) of the claim were never
handled in the usual manner on the property. The record bears out the Carrier's
contention in this respect. However, the Carrier advises that the remedy sought
in Parts (2) and (5) has been granted, with Claimant being returned to service on
July 16, 1982, and his name and date restored to the Painter's Seniority Roster.
The entire claim will be dismissed.
