On July 28,1993 Claimant Pelino held no regular assignment and instead worked temporary assignments while awaiting a regular assignment. Claimant Sleva held a regular assignment as a Welder Helper. Both worked on the Duquesne subdivision of the Pittsburgh Seniority district. Employees Thompson and Danjo, both of whom had greater seniority than the Claimants, held positions as a Electric Welder and Welder Helper respectively and were employed as such in a welding gang. On the day in question while they were employed in those positions, the work they performed was not completed at the end of their workday and each continued to work past the end of the workday.


1t is clear from the foregoing that employees Thompson and Danjo worked overtime on the day in question and in doing so performed work that they not only customarily and ordinarily performed, but that they customarily and ordinarily performed on the day in question and continuously from a point in time during their regular workday until the end of the task after the end of their regular workday. Thus, under the literal language of Rule 17 the Claimants were not entitled to the work in question because of the fact that the other employees, who were more senior, were already performing the work.


AWARD

Claim denied.

ORDER

This Board, after consideration of the dispute identified above, hereby orders that an award favorable to the Claimants) not be made.

NATIONAL RAILROAD ADJUSTMENT BOARD
