The claim here is that the Claimant is entitled to the benefits of Rule 32 as a result of the abolishment of R. D. Neumann's exempt position and his subsequent exercise of seniority which adversely affected the Claimant. This claim raises the same issues decided in Third Division Award 34969 where the Board found that Rule 32 did not govern the dispute in that the Organization had not demonstrated that the abolishment of Neumann's exempt position amounted to an operational or organizational change. That Award governs this dispute as well. This claim shall also 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.
