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 employe 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 case involves four separate Claims now before the Board. These
essentially assert that the Carrier violated "Rule 1-Scope." However, while
Claims Nos. 1 and 2 involved different locations than Claims Nos. 3 and 4 and
slight variations of the tasks being challenged, we conclude, after a thorough
review of all of the Claims, that the controlling issues and questions are
identical.
Pursuant to the Railway Labor Act, the Board is constrained to
consider only the issues and arguments presented on the property. In this
dispute, we note that a number of documents and arguments connected thereto
have been presented for the first time at this level and, therefore, will not
be considered.
With respect to those elements of the Claims which are properly
before us as developed on the property, we find that the Organization has not
substantively refuted the material statements contained in the Carrier's
denial letters of March 25, 1988 (for Claim No. 1), April 13, 1988 (for Claim
No. 2), May 20, 1988 (for Claim No. 3) and July 15, 1988 (for Claim No. 4).
Accordingly, the material statements stand as established fact and the Claims
must be denied.
A W A R D
Claims denied.
