OPINION
OF BOARD: On March 1, 1963, the Carrier transferred cer.-in clerical
work from Seniority District No. 2, to Seniority D~strict
Nos. I and 4, at Battle Creek, Michigan. Thereafter, the
Organization alleged a vi,'.ation of Article III, of the
February 7, 1965 National Agreerent, in that the Carrier failed to enter into
an Implei:~Ln 'ng Agreement.
Inasmuch as only transfer of work ;:as involved herein, we
believe that !.ward Nos. !,3 and 124, are dispositive of the issues.
AWARD
The answer to Questions (1) and (2) is in the negative.
