Form 1 Award No. 29926 Page 4 Docket No.CL-30207 93-3-91-3-666 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. Effective May 15, 1989, Carrier relocated its Texas Division Offices from one location to another within the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Following the relocation, all of the Claimant's were working their same positions within the same seniority district, except that they were working point. The Organization argues that the positions should have been rebulletined. It contends that a failure to rebulletin the jobs was in violation of Rule 11 as well as a departure from past practice. The Organization has not made a persuasive showing Rule 11 is applicable in this matter. Additionally, it has not demonstrated that an existing past practice is in place which would require the carrier to rebulletin the positions of Claimants when the location of the jobs was moved from one headquarters point in the same metropolitan area to another. Moreover, it has not pointed to a Rule in the Agreement which prohibits Carrier from relocating positions within the metropolitan area of a single seniority district, the situation here. The claim is without merit. It will be denied. A W A R D Claim denied.
