SPECIAL BOARD of ADJUSTMENT NO.

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 April
24, 1961,
by assigning Grinder Butchko and his helper Herman, to work of
tightening switch brackets on a switch near Allentown Passenger
Station.
2.
The two senior furloughed Track laborers maintaining seniority
on the Pennsylvania Division be now reimbursed in the amount of
8
hours each account of this Grinder and Grinder Helper being
assigned to perform this Trackman's work, referred to in part
one of this claim.
OPINION OF BOARD:
The tightening of switch brackets is normally track maintenance work of
the Trackmen's class. But where, as here, the tightening of switch brackets
is performed by a Grinder and a Grinder Helper as incidental to switch grinding, no violation of the Trackmen's seniority occurs.
AWARD: Claim denied.
