      (a) The 1.'^rits


In Finance Docket No. 207C7 tire ICC imposed the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal Conditions when approving the ^erger of the Erie and Lachawanna in September 1950. Tho parties to this case cxacutod nn 1^plemranting Agreeme-It on September 11, 1961; chat Agrecmicnt ma3-= specific hoc; the 4?.:ehington Agrec^-ent was to be applied. The- controversy here is ~aheth-:r that Impleeencin., A&re°_mcnt governs the elimination in late 1963 of the for7er La^-cka%·anna BBi.^-bhamion Pass^en3·:r Station
WF.c Office and t::e former Lacl:a;.:anna B'~har,ton Yard Office w"ich ;:e-re consoli
dated and relocated at what had been the Eric l:reiohc Yard Office. In accomplish
ing this change the Carrier abolishe·dl the positions at sotl: d1,>continued offices ·
and bulletined three seven day positions e.nd one relief position at the new "QDr
office, resulting in the loss of one job and an alleged "change in employment" for
all the employces formerly assigned to the pcsicicns ~··hich ;per°_ abolished.

The Organization contends that Article III, Section 1 of the Impleaenting Agreement extends it4,6protection beyond that of the Washington Agreement to "ate chansa of employment by reasono
                  f Ithe margcr." That section reads:


    Any change in employment by reason of this rn_rgar contemplated by the carrier subsequent to toe effective datof :his a,,roe =nc shall be subject t:. the procedures =et forth in Sections 4 and 5 of the A,grccemCnt of 1,117, 1916.,

    Wash!r,gton, D.C. (hereinafter refcr_ed to as the "4Tashington Ag-aer.ent ).


The Carr?er responds that th_ language is not susceptible to such an int-crpretation and that only Sccti-ns 6 and 5 e: the :7: s:^.-^=ten Agreement, calling for notice and an ici, le-.cntin~ n:;rcement, are the subject of the Article. That argu.^..=-nt is persuasive --nd i=_ reenforced by the fact ti:at the remainder of the Implem=:itin_ Agree-ent provides procc;:ures only for benefits co·:_red by the Uashinton Agrcemcr.t and no others.

      In this torrcut of cha^==s it would take a rate.p'nysician trained at a German

university t0 d=G`Cnstr<ice that a fctw drip= remain',d tnE --are. Almost every conceiv
able aspect of the Jobs in tie disconcin·sea ~fficos --_l.- --, cban;::d-·t ;e location,

                                              -Dloyeeplac:-d

Implementing A.-,ree.--.;:nt. 3c _h repeatedly refer t_ a ' ed:;
to whom their prc:C:Ction ale::. Section 4 of the 0,:lenC^na Conditions extends CO any
employee who "is displaced, that is placed in y -.-rse position with respect to his
compensation and rules c.vernin., his work ccnditicas . . , ." As noted in Docket No.
108, this is but a parapt::rase of Section. 6 of t?:= aashin=ton Agrr-=.-n-=nt. The-language
of Article 117, Section 1 of the lnpler:=.nrin~ Asre:'.·..=nt' tc~i.cc affords benefits "if as
a result of the merger an er.~;.loyee is displaced er depri'.'ed of °_-cloy^ent_, derives
frost the use of these terms in the llashindtci %gr-cncnt and the Oklahoma Ccnditions
and their interpretsticns. Thus the Carrie,ts are_ne;,t that ;.r, Leaky could not be
adversely affected because he did not lose his position is relccted for the reasons
discussed in Doc':at ~o. 103. Indeed, the quite clear precederts under th·e 011lahcna
Conditions are against such an interpret_.tien, e'-·en if the tlashingten AgceeM=nt pre
cedents were inapplicable. Lut they are applicable.

In Docket \o. 62 the carrier sought to establish that if an employee had a full time position after the coordination with a rate of pay cq-_al or superior to those of his pre-ccordinaticn position; he could net establish eiitibility for a Section 6 displacement a11c':a^ce. That contention was rej=.cted because Section 6(a) of the Agree::,ent requires_tl:at his com_censat:_n.; .._t :e lea; thin formerly; Section 6(c) provides the r:e-t~;,md of measuring whether .t is or i_ not. Once direct in.vclvem=nt in a coordination is shown and -onthly c.^.-7:aserticn fall= 1·elo:.: the test period average, the employ-ee pre>u^ptiv=_ly is clilgible f:. a daplacrc.-,enr allowance, If the
- Carrier can show that despite the merger-based cht. _: in the t~crb situation t'c first loss of earnincs ate.^.s from';cme ether cause, a Section 6 al_l:t-ante is not due. In oral argument, Carrier ::=-bets contended that if the pose-ccerdination position race of pay equals that of CC pre-coordination p^Sitic-n but total camp=-_aticn falls below tile test period at:eraZe the only possible exflanat.icn :..;_1d ce that hours wor!<ed were fewer; but if c~.? 17C·_r~ of the job were tbc s_T? tlicn t.'.??°. w93 no chan_i in position and hence n0 ad-;,2-se effect. 3uc, reaiC^ing 'J:1Cr1C^_[:'> w!'.it w33 said in Docket 1o. 62:

IVW
        in size of work force, prcbabl,~ differ=aces in vol,:mc of work, and a host of other factors -- the drop is a-, era=a ctr;pensation is inferentially caused by the coordination.


        The inference is rebuttable. Secticn 6(a; is quite explicit that the

        "worsc(ned) position·' rust be "as a result of sash coordination." If it can

                              i

        be shown that rive difference in ·cerpensaticn·r is due to so-.,.a cause unrelated to the coordination, the allowance %;-uld not be dt_e,


    So that even if total hours worked were the sa-e, there may be fewer hours of overtime in a coordinated operation i·hich would account for the lessened compensation.

    Other ele·::tints of the cmplcyc-ti's work situation may differ because of the coordination and thus produce lo-,er compensation. (For a fuller discussion of this problem.. see Docket :7o: 121).


    Carrier also invokes Rule 23(s) cf the E-:ie-TEle=rapper's agreement which provides:


        An employee will not be considsr:_d displaced until his position is actually filled by the employee exercising displacerenc rights.


    As the Claimant has not been "displaced" by a senior employee, the argument ru-ts, he is not "displaced" for the purposes of the lmplemcntin= Agreement. But the argument proves too much because it would remove from tile protection of the Agrear~ent (and the Ideshington Agreement) a cat::cory clear` intended to be covered -- those whose jobs are abolished. The rules prevision -s ad-4r=_ss-=d to a situation entirely different from the displace-ants caused by coordinations.


    In this case one difficulty with the Carrier's contention that it may withhold test period information where it decides there is no cli=ibilicy for benefits is demonstrated. Its determination ray be incorrect as it wrn-ed out to be here. Other weaknesses of this position are discussed in Docket I'c. 133, whose reasoning also applies here. .


    DECISI0:


    Claimant D. Leahy is entitled to a displace-tint allcw~nce for any month in which his post-coordination earnings did fall belo~r his test period average after September 1, 1962 be_ause-"fiis ,-,ork was char.;ed in an adni- red coordination; the lowered earnings would constitute ;, worsened positic7 in regard to compensation. The Carrier has made no showing that such lowered earnings ste-. from a cause other than the merger.

Claimant's job at Palestine, Texas ;.:as abolished and the work transferred to St. Louis, :-Iissouri as par= of nn ad^itted coordination. II_s chit: is for the protection affors-2d by Sectica li, ind-ctity aZai~st loss cc_casioned by the sale of a

home at less than its fair value. Section 11 applies ,to any emplc;·ee who is retained in the service of any of the carriers invol··ed _., a particular coordination ... who is required to chanSe ti:a point o= his employment as a result of- such coordination and is therefore required to -:ove his place of res_de:ce . . " The Carrier contends that the I:.Iplemcnt?=3 :.3_cc-en t i:. this coora'_nat_on made·Sccticn 11 benefits available only to_hose at Palestira l·:_J folicaccd their work to St. Louis. Claimant did not do so. Instead he ecr::_sed :tis seniority o;t his ao:.:c district and obtained a position in Houston, Texas, so,~_ 150 miles a:·ay. It is this move and conse quent sale of his Palestine homc c;hich is thc'subject of the claim.

    The Carrier points to the following lanl a.-e of the implementing. agreement:


    Those employees who are furlou,,had as a result of this coordination who do not transfer seniority to St. Lcuis under the terms of this agreement will not be entlEled to benefits under th·c :..a;._n~te-t Agreement of slay 21, 1936. Those em?loyees _.. Seniority Districts 7, i9, and 22 who arc affected by this coordination as ,revised for under t'aa ter.-s of this asrcem^=,.t will be protected by being paid displac=.-.;:-t a11~-a.._^s as providcd for in the ;Ia>hir.Dton Agrec=nt of 1-1-y 21, 1936, h,it only u:-ile `.·iolding regular ass_3nmants in Districts 7, 19, or 22.


Claimant ::as _.: t':c s_cond eate~cry. The Carrier asserts that this languag^_ affirmatively states all of thc benefits due thcs- in the described cats-ories :;',-o did not go to St. Louis. It further clams, . it:ao__ con=radiation, t^at in all o_` its prior coordinaticns Section 11 allowances tare paid _alv to those who follo·.:cd their jobs. It alai:-: e·.,... more - that su--h is the .,.,._.. o_ -2__ion 11; best t:~at inter?retrtion finds sc;>- _. :c_tltcr _n the la·:3.>>C o: t:.- Scztion nor at:y ,rec_se::t otl·er th,1n, J Perhaps, its c::n pr::cticc.

                            - 206 -

    The Organization asserts th;:t the Implementing Agr:erent conferred Section 11 allowances by this ia-nSua.1e:


        - "Article IV of the agn-e-meat of December 7, 1902, shall be applicable to those affected by this coor~'ination."


        That article in a companion Implel;cnting ."_grec-ent deals with roving a11o:r-

    antes a.^.d protection for szle of homes, z-eng other thin.-s. T.he first portion deal

    ing With MOVing a11c-_;a:!ces Seems to be limiccd to these .moving to St. Louis. The

    second, .,,h;-ch concerns protection for thcso selling their homes, concerns proced

    ures ures; ti:Cre i5 n0 OCCasiOn tOr L__ltiOn of any plaCC Ctner :-^-a: t: ,1C location which

    the erp ioycc is lea~in;;. The pro::imity .,f t^-12 tn:o sections plus t';c similarity of

    the lanl-ua,.e of Section 10 of the WashinStcn .?I-ree-_nnt dealing with eliZibility for

    moving allowances, buttresses the argu:int that both 4%a:C being C'-;tended only to

    .those roving to St. Louis.


    The first quotation -from the Imple.-.entino Areeme.^,t can be read as the Carrier claims; it is consistent faith the barg:_..in~ it describes and the interpretation it places upon Article IV - r-emu of which the 1'--piey=a sub-mission attempts to contradict or explain array except in pointing cut that Article IV is "applicable to those affected by this coordination."


        Moreover, in other respects the Inplcaenti:.g Agreement apparently confers

    ,e~ markedly less protection than the Washinl-ton Agreement ..,culd afford - which lends additional cogency to the Carrier's contention.


        For all of these reasons the claim is denied.


    DECISION:


        Claim denied. -

    No. 103. While tile Carrier is not forcclcsed by its former view, that former view

    has some value as evidence of practice unccr Section o. For the reasons set fort:l

    in Docket :;o, i0u, the Carrier's ground for denial is rejected; it abandoned, as it

    had to; the ground that by regaininthe third seniority position the Claimant had

    overcome the adverse effect of the coordination.


    It also is worthy o_` comment that the Ciainant's test perio'' average monthly hours were 113.10; in other lords, during tile twelve months prior to his adverse effect in which he had employmcet he had w~rl;ed 25 hours a ::eel;, showing a very substantial attachment to his wer:c s.s a Telc-rapher for the Carrier.


    As there is no dispute that Mr. :ieeoan's lol~cred compensation was caused by the coordination, tha only issue being that of eligibility, it follows that his claim was improperly denied.


    DECISION:


    The Carrier violated the Agreement whcn it denied Claimant Keegan a displscerant allowance; contrary to Carrier's contention, !Iv. Keegan was eligible =or such an allowance as an employee who ,corked extra both before and after the coordination.

      ALL RAILROAD GENERAL CiUIR::EY


      Dear Sirs and Brothers:


      On April 29 and 30, 1969, Referee David O. Dolnick handed down decisions in eight Section 13 Co=:aittee dockets that he tied heard on January 27 and 28, 1969. Copies of these decisions are attached for your files and information.


      The only case involving Clerks is Docket No. 136 involving the Memphis Union Station Co:,pany. In this docket, Referee Dolnick deviated from the decision of Referee :i. C. Bernstein in Docket No. 140 involving about the sane issue. You will recall that in Docket No. 140 Referee Bernstein reversed previous holdings that were set forth in Dockets 47, 51 and 59. F:eferee ,Dolnick reasoned that at the time the Necphis Union Station transaction occurred the carriers were entitled to rely upon the decisions in Dockets 47, 51 and 59. Ile indicates that the carriers had no notice before April 1, 1964 that the interpretations set out in those awards would be changed. In view of his reasoning in this case, it is ;:y opinion that notwit;istanding the denial decision in Docket No. 136, the decision in Docket No. 140 is still corftrolling with respect co transactions of the nature covered by Docket No. 140.


                                  Sincerely and fraternally,


                                  47'~9
