1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties on May 28, 29,
30 and June 11, 1980, account Carrier assigned Scope work and duties to an employe outside the Scope

(6 cars total) at $8.0137 per hour account six (6) cars were cleaned and washed
on these dates by Repair Track Crew employee. Claimant should be compensated
for nine (9) hours pay for said violation.
OPINION OF BOARD: The facts of the instant case are not in dispute. On Nay 28,
29s 30 and June 11, 1980 a Car Department employee performed
car cleaning work in conjunction with the repair of six (6) Carrier cars while
they were on the repair track on the dates listed above. Claimat, who is a
Stores Department laborer, alleges that he should have been used to perform the
car cleaning functions on these six (6) cars. As a consequence he has asked for
payment of 1-1/2 hours pro rata pay per car. Neither Petitioner nor Respondent
in the instant case have clarified by what right Claimant in particular claims
the disported service.
Carrier alleges, without further supporting evidence, that the
cleaning of cars at Waterville, Maine has traditionally been performed by esployes of three differen
and the Operating Department. Petitioner's response to this is the allegation,
also without further proof, "that this claim involves washing cars which has been
work performed by employes represented by BRAC' and should be continued to be performed by same.
The Board notes that both the Petitioner and the Respondent have
included in their submissions to this Board in the instant case, evidence and
arguments which were not advanced by either party on the property and such
materials have not been considered by this Board consistent with past Board
Awards (Third Division 20178; 20841; 21463; 2205$ inter alia). Given the paucity
of evidence of probative value presented for Board deliberation in the instant case
the Board has no recourse but to dismiss it.
