Claimant did not want to report to Houston with his gang. He did, however, report and worked from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM on August 18.

 Houston and moved to Lancaster, Texas. As a result of Claimant not reporting to work on August 19, 20, and 21, he was charged with Rule violations and failure to follow instructions. A hearing into the matter was held on August 25, 1983. At the hearing, Claimant was found guilty and assessed a 60-day actual suspension and a 30-day deferred suspension. A transcript of that hearing has been made a part of the record. A review of that record reveals that Claimant was granted all substantive and procedural rights guaranteed by Agreement and that he was guilty as charged. We find no basis on which to conclude that Carrier erred in any way in the handling of this case, including the level of penalty imposed.
