1. On December 27, 1982, Carrier violated the terms of the Master Agreement, particularly, but not limited to, Rule 1 (Scope) as amended, when it required an employe of another craft to clean windows in five (5) cabooses at Elmore, West Virginia.

 2. Carrier shall now be required to compensate Cab Supplyman J. R. Tilley one (1) day's pay at the time and one-half rate of pay for December 27, 1982, account cleaning of caboose windows at Elmore, West Virginia is customarily and regularly perf
OPINION OF BOARD: The relevant facts of this Claim are not in dispute. On
 December 27, 1982, Carrier assigned an employe of another craft to clean windows in five cabooses at its Shop in Elmore, West Virginia. As a result, the Organization filed this Claim, contending that Claimant should receive one day's pay at the punitive rate.

 Carrier timely rejected the Claim. Thereafter, it was handled in the usual manner on the property. It is now before this Board for adjudication.

 The Organization maintains that Carrier's actions violated the Scope Rule of the Agreement. It insists that this work has been traditionally and customarily performed by clerical employes at Elmore for the last 25 years.

 In addition, the organization insists that the Scope Rule is not general in nature. Thus, it submits that it need not establish "exclusivity" of the work in question. Therefore, it asks that the Claim be sustained as presented.

 Carrier, on the other hand, maintains that it properly "shopped" the five cabooses. It insists the cleaning of windows is not work exclusively performed by members of the complaining craft. Therefore, Carrier argues, the Claim should be rejected on this basis alone.

 The key issue in this dispute centers on whether the organization is required to establish exclusivity to the work in dispute. After careful review of the record, the Board is convinced that for the Organization to prevail, such exclusivity must be demonstrated. Rule 1 states in part:
                        Docket Number CL-26027


            "Positions or work within the scope of this Rule 1 belong to the employees covered thereby ....


In interpreting this provision, this Board held that the inclusions of the term "positions and/or work" cannot mean more than was previously meant prior to inauguration of the specific Scope Rule. See Third Division Award No. 22894.

 Here, cleaning windows was performed by both Cab Supplymen as well as Motive Power Department Laborers. As such, the Organization has not demonstrated that its members
