STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

Appeal of Welder, William T. Eaton, to have his discipline of a twenty-five (25) day suspension removed from his record.

FINDINGS: The Claimant was discharged from the service because the carrier determined that he was an unsafe worker. It had reached this conclusion on the basis of nine personal injuries sustained by the Claimant since January 11, 1977, On appeal, the Carrier modified its discipline to a twenty-five (25) day suspension.

The Board, after careful review of the evidence properly before us, finds no basis to further modify or set aside the discipline assessed by the Carrier.

AWARD

The claim is denied.
