92-3-89-3-578
The three claims involved in this matter all deal with Carrier's
announced intention of transferring all train dispatcher functions performed
in its Lavonia, Michigan office to the centralized office to be located in
Jacksonville, Florida. The changes encompassing that move were dealt with in
an implementing Agreement entered into on January 8, 1988. It is that Agreement only which is cited
An examination of the January 8, 1988 Agreement reveals that it
incorporates specifically the protective conditions set forth in the New York
Dock Conditions; moreover, the implementing Agreement itself was entered into
pursuant to the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission in various
Finance Dockets which incorporated the New York Dock conditions. The New York
Dock Conditions provide for a specific mechanism for the resolution of disputes, namely Article I, S
for example Fourth Division Awards 4219 and 4293) we lack jurisdiction to
resolve disputes arising from the New York Dock conditions. Also in point is
Award 1 of Special Board of Adjustment No. 1057, involving the same parties.
In this dispute the jurisdictional question is even more evident since the
sole Agreement relied upon was the implementing Agreement including New York
Dock Conditions. Accordingly, the dispute herein must be dismissed.
