SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT N0. 355

THE ORDER OF RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY

Parties:

Award No. 119
Case No. None
BU 7932-33

AWARD IN DOCKET N0. 119

STATEMENT
OF CLAIM: 1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties
when on March 4, 1960 it required or permitted an
employe not covered by said Agreement at Cowen,-. West
Virginia to transmit by use of telephone a message
to the train dispatcher.

2. Carrier shall be required to compensate Operator
I. C. Sandy in the amount of a day's pay (eight
hours) on March 4, 1960.

FINDINGS:

We are here concerned with the same type of information we had before us in Docket No. 34. It was advance information to the Train Dispatcher as to the loading at Cowen.

As we held in Docket No. 34, we will hold here that the conversation was one between employees and the dispatcher which was necessary in the performance of the work of these people; clearly they were not blocking trains, handling train orders or messages of record.
