vs.
CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
Appeal of 10 days suspension assessed A. Siehl
in connection with being charged with
violating Safety Rules 3361(d) and 3362, which
resulted in his personal injury.
Upon the whole record and all the evidence, after hearing,
the Board finds that the parties herein are carrier and
employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as
amended, and this Board is duly constituted by agreement
under Public Law 89-456 and has jurisdiction of the parties
and subject matter.
AWARD: Claim disposed of as follows:
Clearly had the claimant been more diligent in his work
performance he would not have been injured. However, with
weight given to his eleven years of discipline free service,
we find the discipline assessed to be excessive under the
circumstances herein, and it shall be reduced to a Reprimand.
