 DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail-Corporation

                  STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal Of Foreman Charles Rubanoto have ten (10) days actual suspension removed.


FINDINGS: The events leading to this dispute occurred on July 17,
 1981. Testimony adduced at the hearing shows that late that after
 noon on that date, the Claimant was instructed by his Supervisor
 to pick up a gang and tools from a work site. The Claimant failed
 to comply with these instructions. While the Claimant testified as
 to his reasons for not complying with his Supervisor's instructions,
 the Board finds the evidence clear and convincing that the Claimant
 ._ did not properly. perform his duties. Failure to follow instructions properly given is a serious offense for which the Carrier, when proven, may take appropriate disciplinary action.

      AWARD The claim is denied.
