Award No. 92

Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes

STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal of B & B Mechanic J. Valence to have fifteen (15) days suspension removed.

FINDINGS: The Claimant was notified to attend an investigation on the following charges: Failure to report to work location promptly; failure to follow instructions from proper authorities and perform duties efficiently and safely; failure to devote himself exclusively to the Company's service while on duty; insubordination and willful disregard of the Company's interest in that work was not performed as prescribed.
Subsequent to the investigation, the Claimant was notified that he had been found guilty and was suspended as noted above.
In Award No. 66 of this Board, in which the claim therein came about as a result of the same incident that occurred on January 14, 1982, we found that in order to be consistent in the application of discipline, the suspension was to be set aside. We find the same here, for the same reasons.

AWARD

The claim is sustained.
