Parties to Dispute:
( Consolidated Rail Corporation

Dispute: Claim of Employes:

1. That the Carrier violated the Controlling Agreement when Claimant was used to perform work not comprehended in his assignment, to perform work of fueling locomotives, connection and disconnecting Barco Connectors for steam, repairing steam generators and. other pipefitters work, this work is performed at South Amboy Engine House by laborers and pipefitters by years of practice and agreement.

2. That the Carrier be required to compensate Machinist G. Garetto three (3) hours pay at the applicable rate for January 5, 6, 12, 19, 26, 1980, February 2, 1980.

Findings:

The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence finds that:

The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.

The Claimant alleges that during his tour of duty on January 5, 6, 12, 19 and 26, 1980, and on February 2, 1980, he was required to perform pipefitters and laborers work. The work in question consisted of fueling locomotives; connecting and disconnectin Barco connectors; repairing steam generators; and splitting locomotives. These tasks, the Claimant asserts, were not comprehended in his regular assignment. Be has thus claimed an additional three (3) hours pay for each date that he was required to perform them. He has cited Rule 2-A-4(b) to support his claim for the additional compensation.

The Claimant has not convinced this Division that he has performed any pipefitters' duties on the foregoing dates. Nor are we persuaded that he performed any laborers' duties on any of these dates since the fueling of engines at the South Amboy Engine House is not a task that has been reserved exclusively to any one Craft. Indeed, the evidence demonstrates that Machinists assigned to the "B" tour of duty on Saturdays and Sundays have performed this function for many years. Consequently, the work in dispute was part of Claimant's regular assignment on January 5, 6, 12 and 26, 1980, and on February 2, 1980, despite Claimant's assertion to the contrary.

Since the Claimant has been required to perform tasks that have traditionally been assigned to Machinists, there is no basis for his claim that he was instructed to fulfill either pipefitters' or laborers' work. Accordingly, there is no contractual support for the additional compensation sought, and the instant claim must be denied as a result.
