VS.
CONSOLIDATED RAIL CORPORATION
STATEMENT OF CLAIM:
Appeal of twenty day suspension assessed C. E.
Wilkinson, in connection with falsifying his
expense account by claimaing duplicate
payments.
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:
It is clear claimant failed to observe proper procedures
which gave rise to the duplicate $6.00 entry. However, we
fail to detect any deliberate attempt on his part for.unjust
enrichment, consequently, with weight given to his 15 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.
