Prior to Monday, August 28, 1995, the Supervisor was made aware that one of the Clerks in the office would be on vacation, and the other off on union business.

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.

herein.

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved



The matter at issue in this case is whether the work performed by a Supervisor on the dates stated in the claims is work reserved to employees covered by the TCU Agreement with Carrier.


The Organization has not met its burden of persuasion in this matter. That burden is discussed in full in Third Division Award 33406. Further, there is uncontroverted evidence that the Organization was aware of Supervisor's performing similar tasks at the site in question as early as 1987, filed a few claims that it did not


pursue in 1990, and has not filed any claims on this subject at this site since that time.
