THIRD DIVISION Docket No. MS-27698

(J. A. Marchese
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of J. A. Marchese (#372) that:

(a) Carrier violated the rules of the current clerk's Agreement in Los Angeles, California when it failed to properly bulletin position #6274 by using the term 'and related duties' under description of job, and

(b) J. A. Marchese shall now be compensated $2,018.40 plus $100.92 for each day after April 15, 1986, and

(c) J. A. Marchese shall now be compensated interest payable at the prevailing prime rate and any other damages and awards as may be determined by this Honorable Board."

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.



As Third Party in Interest, the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks was advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed a Submission with the Division.

At the outset, we note that the Claimant has another Claim, see Third Division Award No. 26955, for the same period. This Board has consistently held that it will not allow the pyramiding, compounding, and duplicating of claims. For this reason alone, the Claim warrants dismissal.

Beyond such defect, the facts indicate that no conference was held as required by Rule 47 of the Agreement and the Railway Labor Act. For the reasons set forth in Third Division Award 26749, the Claim must be dismissed.

Petitioner's arguments with respect to the time limits are not
supported by the record. Finally, even if the merits could be reached, we can
find nothing in the applicable Agreement between the Carrier and BRAC which
supports the Claimant's position that such Agreement was violated.
