Fourth Division Award 4824 Zusman Norfolk Southern Corp

Fourth Division Award No. 4824 (Zusman)

"Although this Board finds the Carrier's discipline excessive, Claimant should be warned that the use of Carrier's computer for his own purposes and without authorization is tantamount to theft and dishonesty. Claimant should be made aware that such action should almost always result in dismissal. Due to mitigating circumstances, Claimant is to be returned to service without backpay, with seniority intact, and all other rights unimpaired. Claimant is to be given one last chance to prove his worth to the Carrier."
