CARRIER MEMBERS' RESPONSE

TO

LABOR MEMBER'S DISSENT

TO

AWARD 29270, DOCKET CL-29198

(Referee Muessig)


The Dissent would have one believe the "facts" were not in dispute. Such assertion, however, is sorely tried when one observes the 45 page document submitted by the Organization setting forth its version of the facts, the nine page document submitted by the Carrier setting forth a totally different version of the facts, and the nine page Submission of the interested third party disputing the organization's factual assertions.
 The Dissent's anguish is not justified. All the Majority held was that the Organization filing a dispute with the Board had the obligation to present a clear factual situation so the Board would be in a position to analyze the Agreement in the context of the facts presented. The Dissent appears to suggest that the Board is asking for too much.
