 PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
 (Chicago and North Western Transportation Company

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

 1. Cayman Welder K. Maher was deprived of his contractual rights when the Chicago & North Western Transportation Company violated the controlling agreement on August 18, 1985 when they permitted Cayman R. Nowak, an unqualified welder, to perform welding work on freight cars CNW 8997 and ITTX 911744 at Proviso, Illinois.

 2. That the Chicago & North Western Transportation Company be ordered to compensate Cayman Welder K. Maher in the amount of eight (8) hours pay at the time and one-half rate of pay.

 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.

Claimant is employed as a carman welder by Carrier at its Proviso, Illinois, facility. On August 18, 1985, Carrier assigned welding work to a carman who is not certified as a welder. The Organization thereafter filed a claim on Claimant's behalf, challenging Carrier's assignment of this welding work.

 This Board has reviewed the evidence in this case, and we find that although bulletined welder positions require that a successful applicant be certified, there is no prohibition on the use of a qualified welder to do welding on a "spot" basis. The record reveals that Nowak was qualified to do some welding. There is no evidence that Nowak did anything more than he was qualified to do on only two cars. The welding work was incidental to his normal duties, and he was qualified to do it. Therefore, the claim must be denied.
