AWARDS 123 - WORKING CONDITIONS
First Division Award No.
7511 (Carter)
"The decision hinges upon the interpretation to be given a clause contained in a
note to Article 28 * * * reading as follows: `Working conditions heretofore applicable to
crews engaged in mine switching or Elkhorn service are to be continued unchanged.' * * *
We are of the opinion that the words `working conditions' as used in the note are
synonymous with `schedule rules'. The record is replete with evidence that such term is so
used by those engaged in railroad schedule making. * * *."
