THE MEW YORK, NEW HAVEN & HARTFORD RAILROAD COMPANY
STATEMENT OF
CLAIM:
"Claim of the General Committee of The Order of Railroad Telegraphers
on The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, that;
1. The Carrier, commencing December 1, 1956, violated and continues
to violate the provisions of the Agreement between the parties when
it required or permitted, and continues to require or permit employes
not coming within the scope of said Agreement to block trains and
perform communications service of record at North Falmouth, (Williams)
Massachusetts.
2. The senior, idle, available employe, extra in preference, covered
by the Agreement on the seniority district who could have been used
to perform such work at North Falmouth (Williams) since December 1,
1956, during the hours of the day or night such work was performed by
employes not under said Agreement, shall be compensated the equivalent of one day's pay (8 hours) at the appropriate rate of pay."
FINDINGS
: At North Falmouth a private track serving Camp Edwards connects
with the Carriers single track main line between Buzzards Bay and
Woods Hole. The wage schedule includes a summer job of agent
operator at North Falmouth.
This claim involves days in December, 1956, when the conductor of
a freight train serving Camp Edwards reported by telephone to the
operator in charge of the block at Buzzards Bay that he was clear of
the main line on the private track or that he was ready to re-enter
the main line. That is precisely the same procedure required of a
conductor when entering and leaving a side track or industry track
at any point where no operator is employed. That situation is not
altered because an operator is employed there at other seasons to
accomplish additional work attributable to the resort area traffic.
AWARD
: Claim denied.
