 FINDINGS:
The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

 This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

The central question in this dispute is whether Carrier violated Rule 32-G and the Note appended thereunder, when crew clerks, and car clerks were required to haul crews on December 31, 1986, and January 1, 1987. In essence, Claimants were required to observe the above days as holidays and their positions were accordingly b
It was the Organization's position that since Claimants were regularly assigned to normally perf assigned hours, Carrier violated the Controlling Agreement. It cited several Third Division Awards to substantiate its interpretative position that Claimants' positions were not work. (See Third Division Awards 8653, 8563 and 7255).

 In rebuttal, Carrier argued that Rule 27 granted it the right to blank a position on a holiday, since the Rule provides that an employee's work-week may be reduced one day when a designated holiday falls on one of the employee's assigned work days. It also asserted that the car clerks did not perform any duties exclusively assigned to Claimants as evidenced by the position bulletins which de and Car Clerks. It maintained that since the work required was not exclusively assigned to Cl Public Law Board No. 17.

 In considering this case, the Board finds that Rule 32-G and appending Note were violated when car c dates. We agree with the general principle enunciated in Third Division Award 18115, that where work is not exclusively performed by the incumbents of blanked position, said work may be performed by other employees. However, in the instant case, there is no clear record evidence that Claimants did not routinely perform this work each day during their regularly assigned hours and no evidence that other employees performed this work. Had their positions not been blanked, they would have performed this work. In other words, other than the position bulletins attached to Carrier's Submission, which comes too late to be considered by the Board, we find no evidence that car clerks performed this work. Statements from car clerks, supervisors and operating crew employe~s attesting that car c
As to the compensatory remedy, we concur with the holding in Third Division Award 10166 that Claimants are entitled to straight-time compensation for the time they were not used and, as such, the Claim for this amount is sustained. We find no basis for awarding interest payment.
