As Third Party in interest, the Transportation Communications Union
was advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed a Submission with the
Division.
The facts indicate that no conference was held as required by Rule 47
of the Agreement and the Railway Labor Act. For the reasons set forth in
Third Division Award 26749, the Claim must be dismissed.
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 position that such Agreement was violated.
