The Claimant has alleged that the Carrier violated the Agreement when on April 3, 1986, it improperly abolished Position No. 6775, at Topeka, Kansas, and failed to provide BRAC with a list of duties not abolished and a list of position numbers to which these duties were distributed.

The record is clear that the action taken by the Carrier, which the Claimant challenges, was in accord with Agreements the Carrier made with the Organization. Inasmuch as the jurisdiction of the Board is confined to interpreting Agreements betwe employes, and inasmuch as there is no dispute here between the contracting parties that the Carrier fully complied with the Agreements made with the Organization, the Claim must be denied.
