PUBLIC LAW BOARD 2366
Illinois Central Gulf Railroad
v.
Brotherhood of- Maintenance of
Way Employes
Award No. 4e70
Docket No. 107
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
Claim of G. A. Moody for reinstatement with pay for all time lost following his
dismissal on June 18, 1985.
OPINION OF THE BOARD
The Claimant was a General Foreman and the evidence of record indicates that on
a number of occasions he instructed Trackmen to pick up drums of diesel fuel and
transport them by company vehicle to certain property that he had rented in Harvey,
Illinois. The evidence indicated that the Claimant filled the tank of his privately owned
vehicle from the drums.
The Claimant denied culpability and, in essence, stated that the two individuals,
who delivered the fuel at his instruction were not telling the truth.
This Board has stated on a number of occasions that it is not incumbent upon us to
substitute our judgment for that of the Carrier when the record contains sufficient
substantive evidence to justify the Carrier's conclusion of guilt. Certainly, there is
sufficient evidence in this case to justify that conclusion and we are disinclined to
disturb it.
FINDINGS
The Board, upon consideration of the entire record and all of the evidence finds:
The parties herein are Carrier and Employee within the meaning of the Railway
Labor Act, as amended.
This Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.
The parties to said dispute were given due and proper notice of hearing thereon.
