OPINION

V1SlOi7:: Of 711:: February 7 :~_rC:Cl~.all:, Car,!: :i_i: ~s:J:.'. n'::JU7.lf-_j:ia%li
"IllalC,^' work" t0 the junior CL1J10y.~. au V"-2adoa Cr_-:;_ 1 eSt `I'1::~-l::ia.
The senior ei.lplOyi: was assigned t0 work at flilICC, fICSt G'-ir-;i:·: i1 F: C: 11J:;:i
at I-:=allow Creek. lie contended that the "make work" should have been bulletined
in order to give hire an opportunity to bid it and work at hoe ratil_-r than
travel.

A claim on his behalf has been filed with the laud Division alleging that Carrier violated tile Si.gnalnl.=n's ASreem2:it and asking for travel expenses for Claimant until such tir.la as the work given to the junior employe is bulletined.

Unlike the question of a determining preferential rights as bett:ecn protected and unprotected employes, the question involved in this dispute is one of seniority. It does not involve an application of the February 7 Agreement or its Interpretations. It does involve an application of the seniority, bulletining and assignment provisions of the basic ag-rec%nt between the parties; and as such, the question is properly before the T'nird Division. .



          The provisions of the February 7 Agreement are not applicable


under the circumstances.
