Public Law Board No. 5902, Awd. 8, Case 8 (Peterson) (UTU/Norfolk Southern Rwy)

"Accordingly, the Board finds that unlike situations where Yardmasters are forced into locomotive engineer training based upon their seniority under applicable UTU agreements, and do not thereby forfeit their Yardmaster seniority, that it would not be fair to employees who continue to work as Yardmasters to permit an individual employee who voluntarily engages in other employment to retain their seniority so as to be able to return to Yardmaster work at some future date."
