Parties to Dispute:
NORFOLK AND WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY
 Statement of Claim-






Upon the whole record and all the evidence, after hearing, the Board finds that the parties herein are Carrier and employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, and this Board is duly constituted by agreement under Public Law 89-456 and has jurisdiction of the parties and subject matter.
 This Award is based on the facts and circumstances of this particular case and shall not serve as a precedent in any other case.
After thoroughly reviewing and considering the transcript and the parties' presentations, the Board finds that the claims should be disposed of as follows:
 The record is clear that the Claimant was guilty of conduct unbecoming an employee. There was sufficient evidence that the Claimant entered Carrier property on

April 17, 1997, with a non-employee and obtained information and documents that belonged to the Carrier. The Claimant also participated in making a video record on the Carrier property without permission.
 Once this Board has determined that there is sufficient evidence to support the guilty finding, we next turn our attention to the type of discipline imposed. This Board will not set aside a Carrier's imposition of discipline unless we find its action to have been unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious.
 Given the serious wrongdoing on the part of the Claimant, this Board cannot find that the thirty-day suspension issued by the Carrier was unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious. Therefore, the claim will be denied. AWARD:
      Claim denied.
