Parties to Dispute:





Statement of Claim:

Opinion of Board:

 Claimant was called to an investigation and found responsible in a fight with another employee. He was dismissed.

 Claimant was on vacation and the employee who was hit was off duty, and the altercation was near the depot. The dispute was related to the conduct of Carrier's business.

 Without in any way condoning claimant's action, we find that the degree of discipline was too severe and allow his return to service, but without pay for time lost.

 Award:

 Claim sustained as per opinion. Carrier shall make this award effective within thirty days from date.
