This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.

The Organization asserts that Claimant, while regularly assigned as Assistant Foreman, was displaced on December 9, 1987, by a more senior employee. Acccording to the O displace a junior Assistant Foreman, who was temporarily working as a Foreman. The Roadmaster refused to permit this move, thus triggering the dispute herein. The Organization
Carrier states that the junior Assistant Foreman was working a relief position and the position in question was owned by another employee, senior to Claimant and in a higher classification. Thus, as Carrier views it, there was no Rule support for Claimant to bump up into an assigned Foreman's position.
