 CSX Transportation, Inc.
 STATEMENT Assistant Foreman W. H. Paramore's dismissal was
 OF
 CLAIM: without just cause and he shall be reinstated
 with seniority and all other rights unimpaired
 and compensation for all wage loss. -
 FINDINGS: Claimant was dismissed for being absent without
 permission on January 20, 21, 22, 23 and 27,
 1986 and for receiving property for worthless
 checks. The record supports Carrier's findings.
 He pleaded guilty in Courton January 24, 1986,
 to the charge or receiving property with
 worthless checks and was ordered to pay $6,500
 in restitution and was placed on five years
 probation.
 It was not unreasonable for Carrier to decide
 - against retaining an employee with this record
 of financial irresponsibility and poor judgment.
 The claim is meritless.
