Concerning

and

Claims of Conductor W. F. Park and crew for 8 hours’ pay at yard rates for work performed at Brockville, Ontario, December 18, 1962.

Conductor W. F. Park and Brakemen J.F. Ralph and D. Fournia arrived Brockville on eastbound train Advance 492 at 6:35 p.m. on December 18, 1962. On arrival the crew were required to place their train on one track in the yard and to place their caboose on the caboose track. The caboose movement required about 35 minutes’ work and the Conductor, in addition to payment received under the provisions of Article 10, Rule (b) submitted a claim for 8 hours’ pay at yard rates for each member of the crew under the provisions of Articles 35 and 140 of the Agreement, on the grounds that the work performed was yardmen’s work. The Company declined payment of the claims.

Similar claims were submitted by trainmen on 8 other occasions between August 31, 1962 and May 17, 1963 when a road crew were required to place their caboose on the caboose track on arrival at Brockville. The Company also declined payment of these claims.
