DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation

STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

Appeal of Truck Driver Frank Chillingworth to have
thirty (30) day suspension removed.
FINDINGS: The Claimant, subsequent to an investigation, was found
to have not reported an injury while on the Carrier's property.
Prompt reporting of injuries is a serious matter in the railroad industry. The Board has examined the transcript of the hearing and finds substantial evidence that the Claimant was guilty of the charge as contended by the Carrier.
Under the circumstances herein, we do not find the Carrier's action to be arbitrary or capricious and the claim must fail.

AWARD

The claim is denied.
