OPINION
OF BOARD: The carrier installed IBM equipment and allegedly transferred
 
certain clerical work to telegraphers. A claim was filed with
this Disputes Committee contending that work had been transferred across craft
lines in violation of Article III, Section 1, of the February 7, 1965 Agreement.
The same dispute insofar as it alleged a violation of the scope
rule was the subject of a claim before the Third Division, National Railroad
AWARD N0. 392
Case No. CL-43-W
Adjustment Board and was disposed of by Third Division Award 20217. It was
held in that decision that the evidence involved did not establish a violation
of the scope rule. Also see recent Third Division Award 20477 between these
parties on the same issue.
After careful analysis of the docket and the cited awards we
conclude that no crossing of craft lines occurred. Accordingly, the issue before us in this case has been disposed of by our Awards 2, 19 and 204.
AWARD
The answer to the questions is in the negative.
