 Claimants are employed in the B&B Department at the Carrier's St. Petersburg, Florida, Amtrak Shops. During the period February 14, 1983, through March 29, 1983, Carmen performed repairs and remodeling of a bathroom in the General Foreman's office which involved painting, building and installing a vanity, replacing in the employees' lunchroom and bathroom which also included the lowering of a ceiling; painting doors in a chemical storage room and pouring concrete slabs. The Organization asserts that the work in question has been traditionally and historically performed by employees under its Agreement holding seniority in the B&B Department, particularly those employees in the carpenter and plumber classifications.

 The Carrier asserts that the work at issue has been performed historically by Mechanical Departm as B&B Department work. The Carrier acknowledges that there have been occasions when employees of the class of which Claimants belong have been used to perform work of the nature involved in this case. However, the Carrier maintains that employees covered by Agreements with the Carmen, Sheet Metal Workers and Electricians have historically performed the work at issue. In support of that assertion, the Carrier points to letters from employees of the shops and supervision attesting to the fact that in the past Mechanical Department employees have pe
The Carmen have declined to intervene in this particular case. The Electrical Workers contend that its Agreement protects its right to perform Electricians' work at all points and in all departments where such work is performed on the Carrier's property. The Sheet Metal Workers request that we deny the portion of the Claim relating to cabinets and plumbing.

 Similar disputes between the parties concerning the assignment of the type of work at issue have been before this Board and we have denied those claims due to the general nature of the Scope Rule and the showing made by the Carrier that Mechanical Department employes have also performed the work. See Third Division Awards 26209, 26208, 24028, 23852 and Awards cited therein. See also Second Division Award 6961. For the reasons set forth in those Awards the instant Claim must also be denied.
