 _OF
 CLAIM: and J. M. Bowling are without just and suffi
 cient cause.
 2. Each of these claimants will be restored
 to service with seniority rights unimpaired
 and with pay for time lost. Rule 27(f).
 FINDINGS: Claimants were dismissed for failing to protect
 their assignments on January 4, 1978 and being
 absent without permission.
 The record supports Carrier's findings that
 claimants appeared at the gate just before their assigned report
 ing time on the morning in question and milled around at that
 location with several other employes, but did not report for
 duty. They had not been excused from work that day.

 We find no basis for setting asid missal of Durkalski and Brady. The latter had bee dismissed on June 30. 1975 for insubordination, an an a leniency basis on October 6, 1975 without pay

 Durkalski's dismissal for misconduct on December 29, considered in our Award !9 concerning Case No. 37.


of the opinion that he should be given another opportunity to demonstrate his willingness to fulfill his obligations as an employe. We will direct Carrier to offer Bowling immediate reinstatement with seniority unimpaired but without back pay.
