versus
MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
STATEMENT
OF CLAIM: Claim of the Committee that:

Carrier violated the effective Agreement by unfairly dismissing Trackman Robert L. Watson from Carrier's service on November 30, 1976.

Claimant Watson shall now be returned to the position of Trackman on Arkansas Division, with all seniority rights, pass privileges, vacation rights unimpaired, as well as his restoration of all other rights and privileges accruing to him, which would have been his under the provisions of various agreements, if he had not been dismissed from the service of the Carrier on November 30, 1976, and that he be paid for all time lost that he has suffered on account of dismissal, claim to run concurrently until Mr. Watson is returned to service.

FINDINGS: The testimony adduced at the investigation supported
the charge against_the claimant and, since he only
had ninety-two days of service, there is no reasonable basis for
disturbing the Carrier's decision thereon.

AWARD: Claim denied.
