 PARTIES TO DISPUTE:

STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of L. B. Day (410) that:

 (a) Carrier violated the provisions of the current Clerks' Agreement at Temple, Texas when it improperly bulletined position 6207 on April 23, 1986 by inserting the term 'and such other duties as may be assigned' or similar words under description of job duties, and

 (b) Carrier shall be prohibited from using the term 'and such other duties as may be assigned' or similar language under description of job duties when bulletining a position, and

 (c) Mr. L. B. Day shall now be compensated $4,651.68 plus $105.72 for each day after June 30, 1986, and

 (d) Mr. L. B. Day shall now be compensated interest and any other penalties and awards deemed proper 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 Transportation Communications Union was advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed a Submission with the Division.

 At the outset, we note that the Claimant has other claims for the same period. This Board has consistently held that pyramiding, compounding and duplicating claims cannot be supported. For this reason alone, the Claim warrants dismissal.

 Finally, even if the merits could be reached, we can find nothing in the applicable Agreement between the Carrier and the Organization which supports the Claimant's posi
