 This dispute concerns the Organization's contention of a rules violation by the Carrier's direct at the Wellington Crew Dormitory Facility by means of reaching a contracted dormitory employee, who in turn advises the employees of the call. This became effective in 1983, after a four-year period in which the Crew Clerk would call the dormitory, obtain the room telephone number of the employees, and then call the employees directly. Prior to 1979, for at least a brief period, the system used beginning in January, 1983, had been previously in effect. The change was made owing to the removal of the separate room telephones.

 The Board finds no merit in the Organization's contention. Crew Clerks remain responsible for "calling" employees for duties. No rule violation may be found in empl such call to the called employees' rooms -- a method previously in effect at Wellington and, according to the Carrier, also in effect at other points.

 The revised system, after the period during which room telephones were available, does not diminish the Crew Clerks' responsibility or add to the work of either the Crew Clerks or the called employees. The change in procedure, caused by the absence of available room telephones, is not shown to be contrary to rule or represent a removal of function (i.e., crew calling) from the Crew Clerks.
