 The Organization's basis of claim is Rule 8(6) which provides that all overtime beyond sixteen hours of service, will be paid at a rate of double time. The Carrier contends that Rule 8(6) has been superseded on the second rest day by Article V of the April 24, 1970 Agreement. We disagree with the Carrier's contention. We find that Article V does not supersede Rule 8(6) of the Agreement. Article V does not change Rule 8(6). We shall sustain the claim.
