SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 293
BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES
Versus
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
1. The Carrier violated the effective Agreement on September 29, 1960
by assigning or otherwise permitting employees other than those
covered by the Scope of this Agreement to perform Track laborers'
work at Central Avenue, Spring Lake, N. J.
2. That the regularly assigned members of Section Gang No. 4, Point
Pleasant, N. J., now be reimbursed for an equivalent amount of
hours as was consumed by these Non-Scope employees in performing
this work referred to on September 29, 1960.
OPINION OF BOARD:
The Carrier's Signal Department employees were engaged in installing automatic crossing gates at the Central Avenue grade crossing, Spring Lake, N.J.
On the date stated in the claim these employees dug and backfilled a ditch
40 feet long between the two main tracks for the purpose of laying cable to be
used in connection with the installation of the automatic gates. The Maintenance of Way Organization contends that this digging and backfilling constituted work accruing to Section laborers under the scope of their Agreement.
The evidence establishes that the disputed work was performed in conformance with Exhibit No.
4
(dated October 20, 1949) of the M. of W. Agreement.
Thus the claim in behalf of Section laborers covered by this Agreement is without merit.
AWARD: Claim denied.
