PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Union Pacific Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the
Brotherhood that:
(1) The Agreement was violated when the Carrier
assigned outside forces (City of Lawrence,
Kansas) to protect vehicular and pedestrian
traffic at Fourth and Locus Streets in
Lawrence, Kansas beginning August 27, 1990 and
continuing (System File S-414/910115).
(2) The Agreement was further violated when the'
Carrier failed to furnish the General Chairman
with advance written notice of its intention
to contract out said work as required by Rule
52.
(3) As a consequence of the violations referred to
in Parts (1) and/or (2) above, furloughed
Kansas Division Group 17 Sectionman D. D. Witt
shall be allowed, at the sectionman's rate of
pay, '*** an equal proportionate share of the
total man-hours worked by the outside
contracting force commencing with August 27,
1990 and continuing ***' until the violation
ceases."
FINDINGS:
The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole
record and all the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employee or employees involved
in this dispute are respectively carrier and employee 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.
Form 1 Award No. 31282
Page 2 Docket No. MW-30350
95-3-92-3-74
Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing
thereon.
In its Submission at 2, the Organization states that °tt]his
dispute is identical to a dispute involving the Union and this
Carrier identified as NRAB Case No. 91-3-364, Claimant D. Selbe."
That case (which alleged different dates as violations as well as
a different Claimant-Selbe) was decided in Third Division Award
29753 which denied the Organization's claim. That Award is not
palpably in error. In the interest of stability, this claim must
therefore be denied.
AWARD
Claim denied.
ORDER
This Board, after consideration of the dispute identified
above, hereby orders that an Award favorable to the Claimant (s) not
be made.
