        Appeal of reprimand assessed S. Shanor in connection with being charged with failing to comply with Sections 213.233 and 213.241 of

        the MW-4 Manual. -


    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:

    Considering the factors involved, we deem a letter of caution in his file rather than a reprimand on his discipline record would be a suitable admonishment.
