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."

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.


                            NATIONAL RAILROAD ADJUSTMENT BOARD By Order of Third Division


                            Dated at Chicago, Illinois, this 19th day of January 1996.
