AWARDS 127 - NO CALLING TIME SPECIFIED IN AGREEMENT

AWARD # REFEREE RAILROAD
Third Division Award 29550 Duffy Consolidated Rail Corp

Third Division Award No. 29550 (Duffy)

"Rules must be read in their entire context. As the Carrier correctly points out, Item V(A) of the March 7, 1985, Agreement directs the manner in which guaranteed assigned dispatchers will be called for straight time service. There is no directive, similar to that found in Schedule Agreement Rule 5, Section 2(e), for calling guaranteed assigned dispatchers for overtime service.

"Therefore, the Claimant may have been subject to call for overtime on the claim date, but, only under the expressed provisions of Rule 5, Section 2(e), which contains no time frame limitations for calling employees."
