STATEMENT OF CLAIM: 1.

FINDINGS:

AWARD:

Award No. 169 . Docket No. 169



BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES

versus

MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY


Carrier violated the effective Agreement when Trackman D. G. Powell was unjustly dismissed from the service of the Carrier by notice dated July 15, 1980.

Claimant shall now be returned to service with seniority, pass and vacation rights unimpaired and compensated for loss of wages suffered from July 15, 1980, until reinstated to service.

Credible evidence was adduced at the hearing to support the charge and claimant's relatively short service and prior discipline record makes the penalty reasonable. The difference in those factors does not require the reinstatement of claimant on the basis that the other trackman involved has been reinstated on a leniency basis.

Claim denied.
