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.
