Claimant's assigned workweek is from 12:00 midnight to 8:00 A.M., Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as his rest days. He worked all the hours of his shift Sunday through Thursday and also performed service on Friday for which he was paid time and one half. Claimant also performed service on Saturday for five hours. Because he worked on his first rest day and also on his second rest day, the organization contends that claimant has net the requirements of Article V of the National. Agreement of April 24, 1970 and is entitled to double time pay for hours worked on the second rest day.

 The Carrier contends that claimant did not do his o'~m assigned work on the second rest day but filled in for another employe who laid off on his assigment. The Carrier also contends that claimant volunteered ror the work by placing his name on the call board and thereby created a new assignment for himself whenever he was called.

 Article V of the National Agreement refers to, "service performed --- on the second rest day ---", to qualify for double time pay. The only proviso is that claimant must have worked all the hours regularly assigned to him for work and has also "worked" on the first rest day of his work week.

 The National Agreement is clear. An attempt to read more into it would be to amend its provisions which we have no authority to do. Carrier does not contend that the wor1; performed on the second rest day was an emergency.

 The Carrier assigns regular work schedules. Employes volunteering for work on rest days do not thereby change the work week assigned by the Carrier. If they did, claimant could change his assignment and have a different workweek, and rest days every time he volunteered to perform service on his rest days. Doing different work than that normally performed by him or.-filling in for another employe's assignment does not alter the fact that work has been performed by claimant on the sixth and seventh day of the claimant's work week after completing his regular five day, forty hour assignment.

 The application of Article V of the National Agreement has been uniformly and consistently demonstrated in a number of recent Awards of the Second Division to wit; Nos. 6336, 6349, 6282, 6283,.etc. The facts of this case are not different from those of the prior cases.
