On behalf of Signal Maintainer D. W. Henry for six (6) hours additional pay at pro rata rate for and on behalf of Signal Maintainer T, L. Hirte for additional pay at pro rata rate for one (1) hour and forty-five (45) minutes on June 12, six (6) hours each date June 19 and July 1, four (4) hours July 2, and six (6) hours July 3, 1970, account Carrier required them to suspend work of their regular assignment and patrol track assigned track patrolman not covered by the Signalmen's Agreement and who is represented by the Maintenance of Way Employees' organization. (Carrier's File: 135-222-167, Case No. 256 Sig.)

OPINION OF BOARD: The basis of the claim is that patrolling track is outside
the Scope of the Signalmen's Agreement and that Carrier's
action of assigning such work to Signal employes was in violation of: (a)
the Scope Rule; (b) Classification Rule 107; and (c) Rule 208, Suspension of
Work to Absorb Overtime.

Work outside the Agreement may be assigned to employes covered by the Agreement. See, for example, Awards No. 11923, 12793 and 15478.

Rule 107, relied upon by the Petitioner, does not support the claim.

We find no evidence in the record to support a finding that Claimants were "required to suspend work during regular working hours to absorb overtime."

For the foregoing reasons we will deny the claim.
