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.
Parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.
Except for differences in dates and the identity of a few of the named Claimants,
these two consolidated claims are indistinguishable from those presented in the
companion claims that were decided in favor of the Claimants by the Board in Third
Division Award 35732. As explained more fully therein and in Third Division Award
32331, the Board has consistently held that the Carrier cannot assign employees from
another district to perform work routinely done by employees with seniority on the
district without violating the seniority provisions of the Agreement, mandating monetary
relief regardless of whether the Claimants were fully employed. See also Third Division
Awards 10125, 24576, 28852, 29205, 29313, 30076, 30409, 31228, 31292, 31569, 31570.
Based on all of the foregoing, these claims are likewise sustained, with compensatory
damages calculated in the manner set forth in Third Division Award 32421.
