Norfolk Southern CorporationControlNorfolk and Western Railway Company and Southern Railway Company (Arbitration Review)

Samenvatting

The Transportation Communications International Union (TCU) has filed with the Board an appeal of an arbitration panel's decision holding that the Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) is not required to pay displacement allowances to claimant employees after (1) their work was transferred to a new location as a result of the railroad consolidation that created NSR and (2) they exercised their seniority rights to take lower paying jobs at their current locations rather than follow their jobs to the new location. We are requesting comments from the public to develop a more complete record on the fundamental issue raised here concerning displacement allowances under our labor protective conditions imposed in rail consolidation approvals.
