 DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal of Trackman, E. R. Taylor, to have
 his discipline of dismissal removed from his record and to be
 restored to the service.

 FINDING: The issues herein came about because of the Claimant's
 absenteeism. The evidence adduced at the investigation held by the
 Carrier shows that the Claimant was absent without authorization on
 the dates indicated on the Carrier's Notice of Discipline dated
 December 4, 1980.
 The Board notes that the Claimant clearly had been put on notice that his absenteeism could lead to-serious-consequencesrelating to his employment. In this respect, the record shows that the Claimant had been previously disciplined because of his absences. Accordingly, under these circumstances, the Board has no basis to disturb the discipline determined by the Carrier.

      The claim is denied. --
