allowed Supervisor D. Hammond to perform Maintenance of
Way work (track foreman's overtime service with members of
Gang G-133) of material clean up in the QX and PCY areas on
January 14, 2005, instead of Track Foreman A. Alessi (System
File NEC-BMWE-SD-4509 AMT).
(2) As a consequence of the violation referred to in Part (1) above,
Claimant A. Alessi shall now be compensated for twelve
(12)

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute
involved herein.
Parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.
This is the same dispute presented to the Board in Third Division Award
38127. In this case, the Organization contends that the calling of Equipment
Operators D. Leash and J. Picciotti on their rest day to work 12 hours of overtime
on January 14, 2005 loading containers on trucks also necessitated the calling of the
Claimant, who was observing a rest day, to work that overtime as a Foreman
because Supervisor D. Hammond performed Foreman duties on that date.
Based on the facts presented in Third Division Award 38127, the Board found
that neither Rule 55 nor any other Rule dictated that the calling of Equipment
Operators to work overtime also required the calling of a Foreman to work the
same overtime; job briefings can be performed by the employee in charge, which
may not be a Foreman; nothing requires that only a Foreman can obtain protection
for Equipment Operators to perform their work; the issuance of instructions can be
performed by a Supervisor; and there was a Foreman on duty. Given the facts
presented in this case, those findings are also justified for this dispute.
As in Third Division Award 38127, based on the facts presented in this case,
this claim also lacks factual and Rule support and must be denied.
AWARD
Claim denied.
