BROTHERHOOD OF RAILT1TAY AND STEAMSHIP CLERKS,
FREIGHT
HANDLERS, EXPRESS AND STATION EMPLOYES
versus
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD COPPANY OF NEW JERSEY
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that,
(a) the incumbent of position UD-41fl, Yard Clerk, Penobsoot, Penna., be
paid at punitive rate due to Yardmasters performing clerical work on
March 1,
1953
and each succeeding day,
FINDINGS
Two clerical positions were abolished at Penobscot March 10, 1947,
leaving one clerical position at that point. There was a letter agreement that
the remaining clerical duties would be performed by that one position, except
that the yardmaster or agent could handle telephone work and call trainmen when
the clerk was not on duty.
There was a protest about the work performed by the second trick
yardmaster starting March 1,
1953
and from a joint check conducted on August
6,
1953 it appears that the second trick yardmaster was performing clerical work
other than that agreed to by the letter agreement.
Rule 9(a)(4) requires that the work of abolished clerical positions
remaining to be performed will be assigned to anbthep p6a.'Uon covered by the
agreement when such a position remains in existence at the location where the
work of the abolished position is to be performed. Thus, it has been shown that
the Carrier has violated the agreement and the claim should be sustained. The
Employest position has been reduced to that of claiming a "call" each day, and
the claim will be sustained on that basis.
AWARD
Claim sustained in accordance with the findings.
