PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:
(1) The Agreement was violated when the Carrier recalled junior furloughed Laborer R. A. Moore i
position on Gang 201 in Kansas City, Missouri beginning June 2, 1986 (System
File 200-138).
(2) As a consequence of the aforesaid violation, Mr. D. L. Baker
shall be compensated for all wage loss suffered beginning June 2, 1986 and
continuing until the violation is corrected."
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.
This dispute concerns the failure of the Carrier to recall the Claimant from furlough prior to r
of the Claimant on the seniority list, although both the Claimant and the
other employee are shown to hold the same seniority date.
Article 3, Rule 13 of Agreement No. DP-357 makes reference to the
seniority roster order in cases where employees are shown to have the same
seniority date.
The record, however, shows dispute as to whether the other employee's
seniority date is the same as Claimant's or, in fact, should be carried as an
earlier date. There is also dispute as to the timeliness of challenge to the
seniority rosters issued in 1984, 1985, and 1986.
