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.
The incident precipitating these 43 claims arose on March 26, 2003. On that
date S. Pascucci returned from a personal illness and attempted to displace
Claimant D. Niedziela. The Claimant was assigned to Guaranteed Extra Clerk
Position No. 41102-999 in Selkirk, New York. The Claimant then attempted to
displace to Selkirk Auto Site Stevedore Position No. 41125-R05, Relief No. 5. On
March 28, 2003, he began qualifying with the incumbent of Position No. 41125-R05.
Also on that date, the Claimant was notified that he had not been properly
displaced, because Pascucci was not medically qualified to perform the duties of
Position No. 41102-999, i.e., the Claimant's original position on the Guaranteed
Extra Board.
The Organization filed the above claims on May 19, 2003. In those claims
(reproduced above) the Organization contended that the Carrier violated the
Agreement, particularly Rules 18, 24, and 40, when it failed to allow the Claimant to
continue on his displacement to Position No. 41125-R05. It stated as well that
Pascucci, who obviously was senior to the Claimant, had worked on displaced
Position No. 41102-999, and insisted that he had thus properly displaced the
Claimant in accordance with the Rules.
Form 1 Award No. 38060
Page 31 Docket No. CL-38509
07-3-04-3-513
The Carrier responded to the claims on May 29, 2003. In its response, the
Carrier noted that Pascucci never actually worked the Claimant's position, because
the local supervisor was notified of Pascucci's medical disqualification. However,
because the Carrier was unable to notify Pascucci of his disqualification in a timely
fashion, he reported for work. The Carrier notes that it paid him for a call, but he
was not allowed to work the position for which he reported.
The Carrier pointed out as well in a follow-up letter that Rule 18(f) of the
Agreement provided that "an employee will not be considered as having been
displaced until the individual exercising seniority actually begins work on the
position." Thus, the Carrier asserted, no displacement occurred and no claimed
compensation is warranted.
The claims were subsequently progressed according to the Agreement
between the parties, including conferencing on the property. Thus they are
properly before the Board for resolution.
The Board carefully reviewed the positions of both parties, and the relevant
Agreement provisions. The Organization's argument rests, in essence, on the theory
that a displacement occurs as soon as the more senior employee has attempted to
displace a junior one, and that, other circumstances notwithstanding, immediate
disqualification of a bumping employee, in this case even before he could work any
time on the position, does not negate the displacement attempt. According to the
Organization's view, the Claimant should have been allowed to remain on Position
No. 4B25-R05 irrespective of Pascucci's immediate medical disqualification.
In short, the Organization proposes that because of the lack of speed of
communication between the Medical Department and Pascucci's local supervisor,
the Carrier should be forced to leave Claimant's position blank and allow him to
remain on the position to which he, in turn, displaced. The Organization's position
is in direct contravention of Rule 18 (f) of the Agreement between the parties. It is
asking the Carrier to disregard that language, which is clear and unambiguous, and
leave the Claimant on Position No. 4B25-R05. The Carrier has no authority to do
so, unless an exception to that clear and unambiguous language is negotiated and
agreed to by the parties. To date there is no evidence in the record that they have
done so.
Form 1 Award No. 38060

Accordingly, the Board finds no basis upon which to sustain the instant
claims.

Claim denied.

that an Award favorable to the Claimant(s) not be made.
