88-3
On ten days in May, 1982, Carrier utilized employes of an outside
organization (Labor Pool) to unload material for the Material Department. The
Organization when learning of this outside group unloading material inquired
as to why its furloughed employes should not have been called back to perform
the work. The Organization contends that the work being performed belonged to
Clerks and should therefore be performed by Clerks.
Carrier did not make the work available to Clerks and the instant
claim resulted.
The Board has reviewed the record and must conclude that Carrier did
not violate Rule I, Scope, contained in the Agreement. Rule I lists positions, not work. The Board c
from the Agreement or the type of work performed by Labor Pool employes was by
practice or tradition always performed by Clerks.
