STATEMENT Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:
OF CLAIM:
(1) Carrier violated the National Vacation Agreement
as revised on August
21, 1954s
effective with January 1.,
1951s., copy
of which is in the hands of your Honorable
Boards and
(2) That E. Saunders~ T, H. Poles and Dorothy E. Ballman
be compensated for a day's pay at the pro rata rate for
the holiday that was charged against them during their
vacation periods in
1954.
The sole issue in this docket is whether or not the Carrier violated the
August 21,,
19511
Vacation Agreement in charging July
51 1954
(Independence Day) and
Monday September
6s 1954
(Labor nay) against vacation credits under the National
Vacation Agreement as amended by the August
21~ 1954
Agreement.
The employes contend that the retroactive feature of the August
21., 1954
Agreement does not permit taking vacation credit for days which were not formerly
so considered when vacation had already been scheduled and granted in accordance
with the earlier vacation agreement. We see no merit in this contention since the
1954
Vacation Agreement clearly provided for amending the December
17p 1941
Agreement in this respect effective January 1,
1954.
This same conclusion has been
reached in Awards of Special Boards of Adjustment and of the Third Division NRAB.
AWARD
Claims (1), (2) denied.
