PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Consolidated Rail Corporation
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.
Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.
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.
