PLB No. 6920

Award No. 24

This Board's authority and role are summarized in Third Division Award 26920:

Our function is not to substitute our judgment for that of the Carrier. We are confined only to determine whether substantial evidence exists to support the Carrier's conclusions. . . . Under our limited review capacity we cannot disturb the amount of discipline imposed unless it appears the amount of discipline was arbitrary or capricious as to const it ut e an abuse of the Carrier's discretion. Under

our articulated review standard we are unable to say that when the violations are

viewed in their totality Claimant was not deserving of the degree of discipline imposed.

Applying Thir d Division Awar d 26920 to the findings in this pr oceeding, the claim is denied.

Claim denied.
