SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 976


BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES

 VS.

 CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

    Appeal of 30 day suspension assessed M. A. Graham in

    connection with being charged with violating NORAC Operating Rules 34, 806 and 809.


    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:

    We agree with Carrier's finding, however we believe that in light of his 15 years of discipline free service, a 15 day suspension would be more commensurate under these circumstances.
