8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 30

(2) Because Of the aforesaid violation,
furloughed B&B mechanic K. Curtis shall
be allowed one hundred thirty-sin (136)
hours of pay at the B&B Mechanics rate.
OPINION OF THE BOARD
claimant in this case was a furloughed B&B
Mechanic on the Youngstown Division seniority list. He was
-' under the jurisdiction of the Division Engineer in that
poet-
-~2t
division. He filed a claim with the Shop Superintendent of the
Canton shops,,
in
a different seniority district because he
alleged that Repairmen were performing work in the canton
shops that belonged to B&B Mechanics.
Carrier contends that the instant claim was
improperly filed,since it should have been filed with the
Division Engineer, voungstown Division,not with the
Superintendent of the Canton Shops.
The organization argues that the claim should be
filed at the location where the alleged infraction took
place,not necessarily where the Claimant is employed.
This Board has reviewed the record and the
arguments presented by both sides. we are of the opinion
that the claim was filed with the wrong Supervisor and,
consequently, it is not a valid claim and must be dismissed.
AWARD
The claim is dismissed.
