CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
Appeal of 20 days suspension assessed A.
Bigelow and permanent disqualification as a
track foreman and assistant track foreman, in
connection with being charged with failure to
obtain permission from the Train Dispatcher to
perform track work, and failure to comply with
Transportation Department Rule 81 and Safety
Rule 3005.
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 the record proves he was guilty of the offense with
which he was charged, therefore the suspension will stand.
However, we find permanent disqualification to be excessive,
therefore it shall be removed after one year has elapsed with
no compensation to be made to the claimant.
