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.
Form 1 Award No. 29768
Page 2 Docket No. SG-29546
93-3-90-3-485
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 is the consolidation of two claims. In both claims,
Claimants seek a change in their relative mechanic class seniority
ranking which appeared on the Philadelphia South Division Seniority
Roster published in 1989.
After carefully reviewing the record, the Board finds that
events subsequent to the disputes herein rendered both claims moot.
Claimant Evens failed to respond to a recall to service notice
dated June 7, 1989. Thus, Claimant Evens' name was removed from
the applicable seniority roster on June 28, 1989. Similarly,
Claimant Skolyak failed to answer a recall notice dated December
21, 1989. His name was subsequently removed from the applicable
seniority roster on June 1, 1990.
As a result of their failure to respond to recall, Claimants
forfeited all seniority they had accumulated under the Agreement.
Since these former employees no longer hold any seniority with the
Carrier, the relative rankings of their seniority, back in 1989, is
moot. (Third Division Award 22177) Since there is no longer a
justiciable controversy, the claims must be dismissed.
