CASE N0.
242
THE BALTIMCRE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY
AWARD IN DOCRET NO. 243
STATE== I. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties
OF CLAIM: when on January 13, 1962, it required or permitted
an employee not covered by the Agreement to copy
a
train order at Triadelphia, West Virginia.
2. Carrier shall compensate M. L. Wolfe in-the amount of
a day's pay (eight hours) on January 13, 1962.
FINDINGS: We do not believe a train which operates from Point
A to Point IC and sets out, and/or picks up cars at
one or core points enrouto to be a "switching crew
primarily engaged in revenue service," within the
meaning and intent of Article 35 which grants to
such crew the right to use the telephone, at the ends
of passing sidings or spur tracks where'no operator
position has existed since July 1, 19213, to communi
sate with the nearest operator on duty.
It is not sufficient for the Carrier to argue that
some of the cars handled by the train in question
"actually involved some kind of switcI:dng;" or that
some of the cars "were actually picked up by that
train as a result of switching, etc."
We will follow our Award in Docket No. 130, which
reversed the Award in Dmekot No. 26, and will issue
a sustaining award here.
