Consolidated Rail Corporation
STATEMENT Claim by John Mooney for reinstatement and re
 
OF
CLTIM: imbursement for all loss of pay resulting from
  
his dismissal on January 23, 1981.
FINDINGS: Claimant, an iron worker, was dismissed for operat
  
ing a Conrail vehicle on January 1, 1981, without
  
a driver's license and while under the influence
  
of alcohol. Carrier's findings are supported by
  
substantial evidence and claimant admits that
  
he lacked permission to use the vehicle. He
  
was also dismissed for failing to protect his
  
assignment on that date.
  
We find no persuasive basis for reversing Car-
rier's decision to dismiss claimant.
AWARD: Claim denied.
Adopted at Philadelphia, Pa., October 4, 1984.
