 STATEMENT "l. Carrier violated Rule 28(_1) when- rest days
 OF
 CLAIM: of Extra Gang 5590 were changed without proper
 written notification as alluded by the Carrier."
 "2. 'Claimants named therein will now be com
 pensated 10 hours each at overtime for April 27,
 28 and 29, 1984 and 10 hours at straight-time
 for May 1, 2 and 3, 1984."
 FINDINGS: Claimants are members of Extra Gang 5990. They
 regularly worked four ten-hour days, Monday
 through Thursday with Friday through Sunday as
 rest days. For operational reasons, Assistant
 Division Engineer Brooks asked each member of
 the gang on April 23, 1984 if he would be willing
 to change rest days to Tuesday, Wednesday and
 Thursday. The entire gang agreed to the change
 and it was confirmed by letter dated April 23,
 1984 and delivered on April 30, 1984.
 Each claimant was paid at straight time for
 -363-"qw(j -71

 working Friday, Saturday- and Sunday, April 27, 28 and 29, 1984 and, after working Monday, April 30, they observed the next three days as their rest days.
 Under Rule 28(.1), regular assigned rest day may be changed "after three days advance notice made by the management to the employes concerned...:"
 So far as the record shows, that requirement was duly observed in changing the rest days. All employees affected were clearly notified of the change at least three days before it was made. The Rule does not require that the three days advance notice be in writing.
