FREIGHT HANDLERS, EXPRESS AND STATION EMPLOYES

STATE74ENT OF CLAIM :


Pittsburgh Baggage Room, for a dayps pay at their regular rate of pay for each
date they were deprived of their assignments account relief jobs abolished,
effective December 10, 1954. (CL-282)

FINDINGS: The Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

The Carrier or Carriers and the employee or employees involved in this dispute are respectively Carrier and Employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as approved June 21, 1934.

The Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein. The parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.

When, for good cause, a seven-day work week was established for the incumbents on the jobs to which claimants' relief assignments were synchronized, a basis for the continuance of these particular job titles during the period here involved no longer existed. By reason of the disappearance of job opportunities, in the one work category, claimants exercised displacement rights to other jobs, and each of them obtained at least five days of work per week. There was no contract violation, and claimants have no grounds for complaint.

AIM: Claims denied.
