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.




In these claims, the Organization alleges that the Carrier assigned Clerks at Louisville, Kentucky, yard inventory adjustments rather than assigning that work to a Customer Service Representative ("CSR") at the Customer Service Center ("CSC") in Jacksonville, Florida. The record reveals that the specific computer function involved for the disputed work is YSIA.

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.


The record in this case shows that the disputed work: (1) was performed by someone other than a CSR at the CSC; (2) was performed by a Clerk at Louisville, Kentucky, prior to the 1991 Implementing Agreement; and (3) was performed by a CSR at the CSC after the 1991 Implementing Agreement took effect. Under the three-part test set forth in Third Division Award 37227, the Organization has shown that the work was transferred from Louisville to the CSC under the terms of the 1991 Implementing Agreement and was later improperly performed by someone other than a CSR at the CSC in violation of the parties' Collective Bargaining Agreements. See Third Division Awards 37234, 37229, 37781 and 37839 involving similar disputes at Louisville.


With respect to the number of transactions allowed for the remedy, see Third Division Award 37781:



Under the rationale stated in Third Division Award 37227, these claims shall be sustained at the $15.00 requirement.

                    (Referee Edwin H. Benn)


These Awards involve the performance of various computer functions, including adjusting yard inventory, at field locations by Clerks and/or Yacdmasters.


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.
