(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 a junior crane operator to perform overtime service on August 6, 1984, instead of calling and using Crane Operator C. Barrett, who was senior, available and willing to perform that service (System Docket CR-1229).

(2) Crane Operator C. Barrett shall be allowed six and one-half (6 1/2) hours of pay at his 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.



On August 6, 1984, Carrier assigned a junior employee to operate the crane which was normally operated by Claimant. By letter of August 16, 1984, the Organization protested Carrier's action, arguing that the overtime assignment worked by the juni belonged to Claimant. Since the overtime _had _not been offered to the proper employee, the organization requested payment for Claimant's loss.

The Carrier asserts that the events of August 6, 1984, were quite different. Claimant was offered the overtime in accordance with Rule 17 of the Agreement. In offering the Claimant preference in the assignment of hauling stone to road crossings, which required the use of the crane in loading, Carrier fully complied with the Agreement. Carrier asserts that Claimant refused the overtime work. As such, it was offered to a junior employee.
