MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY


STATEMENT
 OF CLAIM: Claim of the Committee that:

          1. Carrier violated the effective Agreement when Assistant B&B Foreman T. J. Ribbing was assessed thirty (30) days deferred suspension and was not paid for seven (7) hours on July 24, 1979.


          2. Claimant Ribbing shall now be paid seven (7) hours pay at the straight time rate of pay for Assistant Foreman and the thirty (30) days deferred suspension be removed from his personal record.


          FINDINGS: It strains one's credulity to believe that all of the men in the gang were ill from the heat or unable to work on two occasions within the first couple of hours of the shift, so we are constrained to find that the charge was supported by credible evidence.


AWARD: Claim denied.
