System Docket No.

- New York Re~i.on Case No. 357- "Claim of the
System Committee of the Brotherhood that:
(a) The Carrier violated the Clerks' Agreement, effective May 1,
1942: except as amended, particularly Rule 3-0-1, when on November 16,
1956, it denied Nicholas Chidyllo, Assistant Foreman, Desbrosses Street
Freight Station, New York, N. Y. the right to displace Foreman P. J.
Fleming at West 12th Street Freight Station, New York, a junior employs.
(b) Nicholas Chidyllo be compensated for all monetary loss
sustained beginning November 19, 1956, and until adjusted."(Docket 410)
FINDINGS
Here Carrier refused to permit Claimant to exercise his seniority
on a foremants position because "claimant lacked the necessary qualifications
as required under Rule 2-A-2."
Specifically the only point involved was his lack of experience in
outbound routing of LCL freight, which only accounted for a portion of the
total responsibilities of the job in question.
However., Claimant was offered the op»ortunity to post on the
foreman's position. He refused to accept it.
It being a fact he had no prior experience, in the outbound routing
of LCL freight, we think he should have accepted the offer to post on the
foremants position.
AWARD:
Claim denied.
