SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 279
AWARD NO. 117
Docket No. 117
BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES
versus
MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
STATEMENT
OF CLAIM:
Claim of the System Committee that:
FINDINGS
:
reinstatement on
AW
ARD:
"We feel the Carrier`s dismissal of Trackman Johnnie
Cunningham was too severe and the penalty excessive
and we are requesting-the carrier shall now reinstate
Mr. Cunningham to service on a leniency basis with
all rights unimpaired, but without pay for tine lost. "
This is a claim for leniency. . NRAB awards have consistently held that the board is without authority to
entertain such claims.
Moreover, it appears that the Carrier herein offered
a leniency basis and that the claimant rejected it.
Claim dismissed.
