(Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

(1) The Agreement was violated when the Carrier failed and refused to properly list Mr. R. L. Leach on the Allegheny Division Welder Helper Seniority Roster (System Docket CR-925).

(2) Claimant R. L. Leach shall be listed on the Allegheny Division Welder Helper Seniority Roster with a seniority date equivalent to his 1975 Machine Operator-Grinder seniority date."

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.



By written protest dated March 22, 1984, Claimant protested his omission from the 1984 Welder Helper Seniority Roster. No written protest was filed over the similar omission from the 1982 and 1983 rosters.

Claimant's protest is untimely. The 90 day filing requirement for seniority roster protests specified in Rule 4, Section 6(b) precludes our consideration of the merits of the Claim. See Third Division Award 27313.
