OF CLAIM:
FINDINGS:
SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 355
THE ORDER OF RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY
AWARD IN DOCKET N0. 46
AWARD N0. 46
CASE N0. 100
(BU-5798-33)
1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties when on
March 2, 1959, it required or permitted an employe not covered
by the Agreement at Ravenswood Works, West Virginia, to transmit direct to the train dispatcher.
2. Carrier shall compensate Operator F. I. Dorworth in the amount
of a day's pay (eight hours) on March 2, 1959.
The question before us is this: did the conductor give the dispatcher
the "consist" of his train when he told him by phone that his "train was in
clear on that track at approximately 11:30 p.m., giving the number of cars he
would have into Parkersburg and advising that he had cleared Hartford and Baden
sidings"7
Carrier here contends this information "was of no use to the train
dispatcher and he had not been instructed to call from the Kaiser Storage Track
x x x."
In our Docket No. 44, on which we rendered a
sustaining award,
Carrier
acknowledged the dispatcher called a yard clerk over the telephone x x`x*"and
secured the consist x x." The information transmitted was "66 loads, 2677 tons.
4 Clarksburg, 150 tons. 62 loads, 2527 tons east."
We think the information here was consist information. It certainly
was of use to the dispatcher, as Organization argument before this Board indicates, to know the number of cars he would have in order to determine the
track on which the train would go to Parkersburg. It would also be made a
matter of record.
This claim will be sustained.
