Statement
of
Claim:
"Carrier violated the Agreement, especially
Rule 12, when Track Foreman D. R. Eastridge was dis
missed from the service.
Claim in behalf of Track Foreman Eastridge for
his return to service with all pay for wage loss suffered
and restore his seniority, vacation and all other rights
unimpaired."
Findings:
The Board, after hearing upon the whole record and all
evidence, finds that the parties herein are Carrier and Employee
within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, that this
1
Board is duly constituted by Agreement dated January 5, 1959,
that it has jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter, and
that the parties were given due notice of the hearing held.
A review of the record in this case reveals that Claimant
Eastridge was returned to service under terms of a leniency
reinstatement agreement dated December 9, 1988 which waived,
any and all, claims for wages and benefits lost during his disciplinary
suspension following investigation held on September 16-17, 1987.
Since the leniency reinstatement agreement fully releases
Carrier of all liability comprehended by this claim, there is no dispute
or controversy properly before the Board for adjudication. The claim
is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
Award:
Claim dismissed as per findings.
