Mr. Sparks was hand delivered a letter dated April 19, 2002, instructing
him to attend a formal investigation on Thursday, April 25, 2002, for the purpose
of developing facts, determining the cause and assess responsibility, if any, in
connection with an accident with Metra Vehicle #90810 on Friday, April 12, 2002.
It was alleged that an unsecured load of pipe shifted when Mr. Sparks was driving
the vehicle causing damage to the rear window.
Mr. Sparks was charged with alleged violation of Metra's Employee
Conduct Rule "N", Paragraph #3, Items #2 and #3 and Safety Rule 107.2, #8 and
#9.
The letter of April 19, 2002, calling for the investigation and the specific
charges against Mr. Sparks is attached to this Award.
The investigation was postponed until May 1, 2002, and held on that date.
Following the investigation, Mr. Sparks received a Notice of Discipline
letter dated May 17, 2002, assessing discipline of Three (3) days deferred
suspension for violation of Metra Employee Conduct Rule "N", Paragraph #3,
Items #2 and #3 and Safety Rule 107.2, #8 and #9.
The transcript of the investigation held on May 1, 2002, provides the basis
for this Board's adjudication of this dispute.
This dispute is before this Special Board of Adjustment established by
agreement between the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and the
Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation (Metra) dated
November 12, 1999. SBA No. 1122.
FINDINGS:
This dispute involves an incident occurring on Friday, April 12, 2002, when
the rear window on Metra Vehicle #90810 was damaged.
Mr. Sparks was the driver of the truck on the day of the incident.
The transcript testimony reveals that Mr. Sparks was working under the
supervision and direction of Mr. Martin DeVito, B&B Foreman on the day of the
incident.
Mr. DeVito testified that Mr. Sparks was told to drive the truck to the 51s`
Street Yard where there was a fence project underway.
Mr. DeVito testified that he had received a call from his Assistant Foreman,
Mr. Phil Rodriquez, on the day of the incident advising Mr. DeVito that the back
window of the truck was broken while they were unloading the fence poles from
the truck.
z
G's 
IN 
Ila~.
Awd (g
Mr. DeVito testified that the truck was loaded with fence poles on the day
before the incident.
Mr. DeVito testified that he personally inspected the loading of the truck on
the day before the incident and the load was very secure.
At issue in this dispute is whether the damage to the rear window of the
truck occurred during the trip between job sites or did the damage occur during the
unloading process.
The Carrier has based their position on the accident report of Mr. Joseph
Gbur, Metra Police Officer, Carrier Exhibit No. 2, wherein Mr. Sparks stated that
he 
believed that while en route from Blue Island to 47`h Street that a load of pipe
shifted and struck the protective gate on the truck which in turn struck the rear
window of the truck and cracked the glass.
The police report also stated that Mr. Sparks said that he was unaware of
when the glass actually broke.
The property damage personal injury report prepared by Mr. Joseph Gbur,
Officer of the Metra Police Department, Carrier Exhibit No. 5, stated "Was
carrying pipe from Blue Island Yard to 47 
`h 
St. Yard White Truck #90810. I
believe that the pipe bump the gate in the back of the cab, and broke the window
of the truck, once we stop at 47`" St the window was broken." Both Carrier
Exhibits No. 2 and No. 5 are attached to this Award.
3
s$ A I I 
lag
Nod 19
It is quite evident from both Carrier Exhibits No. 2 and No. 5 that the
accused Mr. Sparks was not positive as to whether the damage occurred while en
route from job site to job site while he was driving the truck.
It seems highly unlikely that a rear window of a truck could be damaged
while traveling from job site to job site without attracting the attention of the
driver and passenger in the cab with the driver.
There is no evidence in the record to show that is what occurred. There are
positive statements in the record to show that the damage occurred when the pipe
was being unloaded. The testimony of Foreman DeVito, B&B Mechanics Larry
Harper and Trenidale Evans clearly point out that Mr. Sparks was not negligent or
responsible for the window damage to the truck. Based on the testimony in the
record, there is no basis or support for the assessment of any discipline against Mr.
Sparks.
Accordingly, it is our decision that the Notice of Discipline letter of May
17, 2002, to Mr. Sparks be rescinded and Mr. Sparks record be cleared of the
charge. Additionally, Mr. Sparks should be compensated for any time lost as a
result of this incident.
AWARD:   Claim sustained in accordance with the above findings.
