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.
As shown by the Statement of Claim, the instant dispute consists of two
claims that were combined for the hearing before the Board. Their records are
identical for all practical purposes except for the separate dates on which the two
claims arose.
The Board addressed a similar claim in Third Division Award 40805. We
carefully reviewed the two records for the instant claims and do not find them to be
significantly different from the record in Award 40805. The parties cited the same
Rules and made the same contentions. As in the previous claim, the Carrier
submitted evidence in the form of an email statement from one of its Supervisors.
And as in the previous claim, the Organization again attempted to add a new set of
contentions in its Submission based on Rule 26(h) that was not advanced during the
claim handling on the property.
For the same reasons discussed in Award 40805, the instant claims must be
