This controversy was, bro:z~ht before this Board on motion of 
the
Carrier 
to secure resolution 
of an "unadjusted dispute betuwen it 
and the
Organization"
.
`throughout its submission Carrier. repeats and reiterates that the
work assigned to be done by employees other than electricians was the
removal, cl-~ar,ioand 
reinstalling 
of= "crates or shields" of fluorscenW
ligbtino 
fixtures at Carrier's General Office Building. It further State's
repeatedly 
that 
the assignment was "based upon existing practice" and that
this had been the procedure followed regularly for many years. Tile
Organization dial not file a 
rebuttal and therefore these allegations of the
Carrier must be assumed to be valid.
(either in its submission nor in attachrients thereto reflecting
handling 
of its grievance on the 
property does t-`re Org:-t-ization cite a
Rule of the Controlling Agreement between the Parties upon which it relies
for the claim submitted. 7fie Job Evaluation program and job descriptions
