DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal by Trackman Ralph short to have 30 days
  
actual 
suspension removed
.
FINDINGS: Subsequent to an investigation held on December 14, 1981,
the Claimant was found guilty of 
insubordination and 
he was suspended
for thirty (30) days. The Carrier concluded that, on November 19,
1981, the Claimant refused to provide the names of four men working
under his supervision after being instructed to do so by his
Supervisor.
The Board is convinced, as evidenced by the Claimant's testimony at the trial, that the Claimant refused to comply with a
legitimate request of. his Supervisor.. While-the. Claimant has
advanced reasons for 
refusing to 
do as instructed, these do not -
mitigate his action.
Accordingly, the 
Carrier's decision to discipline the Claimant
cannot be said to be an unreasonable use of its discretion.
AWARD
The claim is denied.
