Statement
of Claim: (1) Carrier violated Agreement Rule 12 in dismissing
Machine Operator P. H. Gillespie effective January 16, 1984.
(2) Claimant P. H. Gillespie should now be allowed pay for
all time lost beginning January 16, 1984, continuing until
he is reinstated to service with all his seniority rights
and vacation privileges restored unimpaired.
The Board has jurisdiction of this case.
Claimant, following a formal investigation thereon, was
discharged from service as discipline for having falsified a second
period time roll in November 1983 while working as Machine Operator on
BDC-1 on the Wichita Subdivision at Ureka, Kansas.
The record, including Claimant's admissions against interest,
support Carrier's conclusions as to Claimant's culpability.
Discharge for dishonesty has been deemed as being reasonable
discipline in this industry.
