(Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

(1) The Carrier violated the Agreement when it assigned Repairman K. Strabley to fill a temporary vacancy as foreman of the 'shipping crew' at the Canton Shop on July 29 and 30, 1983, instead of assigning and using Foreman M. North who was available, willing and qualified to fill that vacancy (System Docket CR-674).

(2) Because of the aforesaid violation, Mr. M. North shall be allowed four (4) hours of pay at the foreman's time and one-half rate."

FINDINGS:

The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.



During the second shift on July 29, 1983, Carrier determined that it would require the services of a temporary Foreman to supervise the loading and tie-down of machinery being shipped from its Canton MW Repair Shop. At 5:30 P.M., it upgraded the senior qualified repairman working on the shift to the temporary position. The upgraded repairman worked four hours of overtime. Claimant was working his assigned Foreman's position during the second shift on the day involved. He contends he should have been used to work the temporary assignment, includin
This Board does not agree. The Organization failed to establish that any provisions of its Agreement were violated when a qualified repairman was assigned to work as a temporary Foreman. There is no showing that, at the time of assignment, overtime was anticipated.
