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.



This dispute concerns the dismissal of a short-tenured employee who was charged and found guilty of failing to efficiently perform his assigned duties as a Trackman, coupled with his repetitive failure to comply with his Supervisor's instructions, all of which were allegedly in violation of certain identified Carrier General Rules. Following a formal Investigation held on July 24, 1986, premised on the charges outlined above, Claimant -was advised he was dismissed from the service effective July 25, 1986. Claim was appealed in the usual manner on the property and is now ripe for our determination.

Based on the facts described above and others we have considered in our review of the files, we cannot find the Carrier's decision in this case to be palpably erroneous or without foundation in reason or fact and we must deny the Claim.
