 There are additional jurisdictional defects. The Claim in this dispute as handled on the propert Bargaining Agreement with the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employes (hereinafter referred to as BRAC), when it allowed the Claimant, Mr. H. D. Lewis, to be force reduced to a furlough status. Mr. Giudicessi, upon presentation of the dispute to this Board, has ch his own behalf. Mr. Giudicessi is not the original employee involved in the Claim and the record is clear that Mr. Giudicessi has no connection with BRAC as an authorized representative. We thus have a situation in which the Claim has been changed and in which no portion of the handling of the dispute on the property was handled by the employee on whose behalf the Claim was filed or his duly authorized bargaining representative. The Claim has clearly not been handled in the "customary manner" required by the Railway Labor Act. For all the foregoing reasons, the Claim will be dismissed.
