BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES
versus.
MISSOURI, PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
STATEMENT
OF CLAIM: "(1) Carrier violated the agreement on August 17,
1983 when Trackman A. R. Strickland, St. Louis
Terminal, was dismissed for being absent
without authority on August 9, 1983, and left
his assignment without authority on August 17,
1983.
"(2) Claimant shall now be returned to service with
all rights unimpaired and paid for all time
lost beginning August 17, 1983."
FINDINGS: There is no dispute that Claimant was absent without
authorization on August 9, 1983. Considering his
relatively short service and prior discipline and warning about
the same offense, there is no basis for sustaining this claim.
AWARD: Claim denied.
