In view of the nunrous conflicting Pe;a'rds which have bwon rendered by Referees on the z"nerd Division, as well as taose on our rsard, involving disputes arising under the idimitical generating circu;t'asaces herein-strike-n:re believe it to be incur:bart upon us to aitFt~a,2i flnflly rut u quietus on this sarica of dispute.

 Furth~:ri=ire, in A·:ard No. 200, of our Bo&rd, tL,3 Refarse, in sustaining t1rv Org^nl*:atien's clai-n, Imicaud that Section 4, &.ey r-.L distinguish batsmen tcnaporary suspensions and abol.isL-ant of positions. V;crefore,. having failed to give the required slxtcen hovrs advsixa notice--a cG-lition precadant to layoffs--a violation ocmvxaed.

 We are in agrecz^at with 1!ward Ile. 200, to tp:3 oxCCnt tl:nt- a _ , "force reduction by samb other n&·-^ does not chrnga the obligation to give notice." Hc~;aver, this merely begs the qucsLion vhich hcs given rise to the diverse A=-?·ards decided by the Third Division, on the problon of notice. ~ In Award No. 17939, Third Division, the Referee s=^.rized a nuO:or of A=rds, as follows:
                                            Award No. 242

                                            Case No. CL-45-E


                          _ 6 ..


            "In the application of the sixteen-hour rule it is established (1) that telephone: notice is sufficient and written notice is not required (A%ards 17014, 17674, 17904); and (2) that the sixteen-hour advance notice applies to clock hours from the tin-,e the notice was actually given (Awards 17708, 17780, 17958, 17961.)."


In Carrier Members' Dissent to our Board's Award No. 200, the folloAiug is contaic:!d therein:

            "In this case the mutual understanding was reflected in the letter dated July 14, 1967, and as tl:e Refereo now states: 'the substance of the understanding was unchallenged.'' The July 14th letter contained the following statetennt:


          "This confirms our understanding th~,t,excrpt as th:Te~1~4

          s~loye· b o~hex,use,nottif iiod, ~al~1 existing positions

          will be t~evc.orarily suspandwd effective at the b3gin

          ning acid for the duration of the strike'." (n:phasis

          supplied) sic.


Unfortunately, in the instant dispute ·::e are crampelled to reconstruct tho argta2nts of the parties as rcflectad in do Exhibits, in order to give t:eaning to the contents of the July 14th letter. In Organization Exkibits "A" & "B'', there is included a review of the history of alleged verbal under standings with the various Gn:ral Chairui^u providing for temporary sttsp;:nsicn of positions during strikes, con2ancing in July, 1963. Vnese are contain:d in tun d=alinitions by the Carrier of the instant clnim. InscZnr as the contents of t-ho July 14 letter is concerrad, t.:a quote from Auard No. 200:

            "Positions w,:ve not; subject: to bulletinin-; ?s tbsy could have b::nn if tL:3y heJ been abalishad. Both p==^,rties hc.d Aecrecd to the procedure for suspension of poeitiorts ~-2i:h::; than atoli.~!~.:·_=.it, in order to avoid i:ha di.t,Luptl.ou and di~c~g·t~izrt-i.;3n which would result if all paaitdop=5 r: ;yo Virc~-.'n c;-a for bid. This undabst :r.ding wa:; eztc 1i.,4:d in a 1-E:tdr drafted by the C3xriar's I~.~naGE:-t=L1tn:: Relations, 1^ted July 14, and sent to the General Ch93rz·ln. Althcv,gh a place mes loft on tho letter for the General Chairman's signature under the words, 'I concur, ' the G=rix°al Chair=--in did not sign and retuEn it. But the 4ut_ttance of the understanding was uswhaMnged." (Untarl_ine added by us) .


            Of course, it should be noted that: the Ceuoral Chairman alluded

to above, as gall as the Award therein, had vc:faroace to the Signalman's Orga.

            "On thfs short notice (of impending strike at 12:01 A.M.) our people i=:dsataly telep'aondd all available lion-operating G=heral Chaizy,:cn and advised them of the action of the Shop Craft unions. liaise C.:n3ral Chair-

            _.t.sn ~;azro .r1.ra xnforzsd that enK e,-csed upon procedure for the temporary suspension of positions c:culd be autcasticaily activated at 12:01 A.M. on July 17, with En~ropriate notices to be pcated advisir4g th.3 Er-p loyees. Such notices rare rooted all o:ar our Syst^m as soon as practicable after the Shop Craft Ganrral Chair=n notified us of thair strike action."


            "I note tea Cararal Chairmtan predicates his claim on

            the basis that proper advance notice was not givwn

            employees whose positions ho agreed could be temporar

            ily suspended and inferred that claizants would have

            crossed picket lines on July 17. 1 a-a sure both you

            and the General Chairm=n know the 5-day sad 16-hour

            advance notice rules in existing egrcz--2nts axe only

            applicable than positions are to bo aboiichcd. Since

            our previously described avrce-ant with Kv. Batory vas

            contingent n-:on his waiving the ^dvante notice rules

            as wall as tl_e facet that no positi~cciis r.3re_abolis:ied

            on July 17 b=ut vnrely teoporarily suep-nd3d during the

            one-day strike, - - -."


Thus, thrcu.hnut all levels of th3 appeal prnc~,duro on the property, the Carrier insisted that the instant claim be denied on the grouid that, ".both SpvciLl. Board of Adjus%m-rnt f 605 ar_d the lhiwd Division, N.R.d.B. eava ruled that Czn positions are temporarily suspended, as in the present dispute, rather ttcz Lbolisll-:.3, the 1.6 lieur advance notice is not required." (u::.a loj--33' E~hibiC '°S," Patterson letter of Dacz-,-.'_er 11, 1969.)

            We accept the fact that 23x. Patterson's letter as of rccez.!;mr 11,

Log, may ha-,7o coy-rsctly stated the gist of tea A.=.snrds, at t1 hat ticn. Sine

 Previously, we indicated that in our opinion, Article 1, Section 4, of the r~,bruary 7, 1965 Agreezi~,nt, grants tlaa Carrier a bundle of rig%ts on the condition that it adhere to the restrictions. Thus, a discussion of the requirement that it ccz-ply with the sixteen hours avarca notice before such reductions ass mnda is relevant. L^avir..g aside for t'1se ee~ant the Carrier's allegation of an -oral aL~c pat x>iich counterarcas suspension of gcjitionc rather than abolishr^=nt, it tL^n insists that suspension is beyond the p=urview of Section 4. L-cco it w-iy do so without the nac^asity of giving th required advance notice. F9 are rystified by such circuitous rvasonin;. Clearly and precisely, thn Carri·:!r is granted the ririt to mnkv force redrctions or cbol= ishm:nts--no-7isre does Section 4 provide for tef:rorary stsspansions. Albeit, a

                          _ g m


Carrier nary a:alce force reductions under the guise of suspcnsiono, however, why
 Boas it conclude that then the required advance notice is. unnccesuary? What
 mystique is there about a teriporary susp3nsion which diffbba frca a force re
 duction? ITua, wo are aware of the ramifications iraaoltqed in an wboliea r_;at,
 but, Sectien 4, spacificslly, includsys foane -<edvctiena 4.nJ sizmllerly, requires
 the advance notice. As previously indierted, to this e%-Lent t:e concur with
 the Referee in Award 11o. 200, as such is tai actual and factual substantive
 r®ceduz,al rC:quirezant.

 47e next: precc~d to the question of advance notice. What typ3 of notice is rcquirud? All Section 4 states, is sixtsn hours eh= o notice. W3 are prop tired to accept tI°;3 reasoning conyair3d in inird Di-risie~a Award I:e. 179C89, only insofar as notice is concern:d. Thus, telt;plzor3 notice is sufficient and the criterion for said si;ctcan hour notice applies to clock hours from the tire the notice ,!,as actually giv3n. As we have no u..^.thcd of r.scertaining 0-tethor or not clairnuts received the sixteen hours adv,~nco notice, this issu-_ will be referred back to the proerty.

 Was there an oral a.-recunnt to c:ni_.e Eta si-cca n hours advance notice if Carrier suop3nd=ed positions Instead of eboli^hi%.;?
