(Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim on behalf of the General Committee of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen on the Seaboard
System Railroad Company (AWP-GA-WofA)

Claim on behalf of Signalman J. F. Williams, assigned to the GeorgiaA&WP-WR of A roads for t
(a) Carrier violated the Signalmen's Agreement, particularly Rule 34, when it allowed Mr. Bray, a junior employee, to work a Signalman's position that was not offered to Mr. Williams, a senior employee.

(b) Carrier now be required to compensate Signalman J. F. Williams for 56 hours and 30 minutes at his overtime rate of pay for his loss of work opportunity. GC file FL-82, Carrier file 15-34-(86-17)."

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.



A review of the record established on the property reveals that the Carrier did not adequately refute the Organization's position. However, the Claim is excessive. The Board will award Claimant the difference in pay between what he actually earned as a Signalman and what he would have earned had he worked as a Signal Maintainer during the involved period.
