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.
In this claim, the Organization alleges that the Carrier assigned Clerks at Danville, Illinois, to make yard inventory adjustments through YSIA rather than assigning that work to a Customer Service Representative ("CSR") at the Customer Service Center ("CSC") in Jacksonville, Florida.
The background for this claim is set forth in Third Division Awards 37227 and 37760.
As more fully set forth in Third Division Award 37760, the Board has jurisdiction to resolve this claim.
Under those Awards, to prevail in this case, the Organization must show that the disputed work: (1) was performed by someone other than a CSR at the CSC; (2) was performed by a Clerk at Danville, Illinois, prior to the 1991 Implementing Agreement; and (3) was performed by a CSR at the CSC after the 1991 Implementing Agreement took effect.
This record lacks the specific required factual showings necessary for the Board to find that the Organization carried its burden under the three-part test set forth in Third Division Award 37227. Specifically, the Organization submitted 226 statements from employees transferred from various locations to the CSC. None of Form 1 Award No. 37837
those statements assert that the disputed work was performed by those employees at Danville prior to their transfer to the CSC.
The Organization's reliance upon a January 11, 2001 letter from the Carrier stating that "[a] TCU craft member completed this work while working a clerical position at Louisville, KY" with the further argument that the work at Louisville was transferred to the CSC does not change the result. This claim is specifically about Danville and in these cases we have required the Organization to make the necessary demonstrations at the specific contested locations. See Third Division Award 37761. The Organization has not made that showing in this case for Danville.
This Board, after consideration of the dispute identified above, hereby orders that an Award favorable to the Claimant(s) not be made.
These Awards involve the performance ofvarious computer functions, including adjusting yard inventory, at field locations by Clerks and/or Yardmasters.
Awards 37836 and 37837 denied the claims presented therein. The claims that culminated .in Awards 37838, 37839 and 37840 were sustained in accordance with the Findings. Although two of the five Awards decided the involved claims in favor of the Carrier, we nevertheless. dissent on the ground. that the Board lacks the subject matter jurisdiction to decide any of these claims. For the sake of brevity, our Dissent to Third Division Awards 37760 through 37765 is incorporated herein by reference.
