Statement
of
Claim:
"Carrier violated the Agreement, especially Rule
12, when Trackman Lionel Johnson was dismissed
from the service.
Claim in behalf of Trackman Johnson for eight
hours each work day, including any holidays falling
therein, and any overtime that would have accrued to
him had he not been dismissed. Claim beginning
November 2, 1987 and continuing until he is reinstated
to service with seniority and 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
~D
3 75-1
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.
We first consider the threshold issue of whether or not the
Board has jurisdiction to review the merits of this case.
The Board has been presented with evidence that Claimant
was reinstated to service after signing a Probationary Reinstatement
Agreement dated April 4, 1989, which provides, inter olio, waiver of
any and all claims for lost wages beginning November 2, 1987.
Given that Claimant has been reinstated to service and fully
released the Carrier from all wage loss liability, there is no dispute
properly before this Board; therefore, the claim must be dismissed
for want of jurisdiction.
Award:
Claim dismissed per findings.
