AWARD 135 - BOARD CANNOT RULE ON WHAT IS EQUITABLE OR FAIR - BOARD RULES ONLY ON CONTRACT INTERPRETATION

Third Division Award No. 30779 (Eischen)

"Whether it would have been more 'equitable' or 'fair' to call the senior employee, is not something which this Board can decide. See Third Division Award 20383. Our jurisdiction is limited to determining disputes concerning the interpretation and enforcement of contractual obligations. No violation of either Article 5(e) or Article 5(i) of the Agreement is shown on this record. Based on the foregoing, this claim is denied."
