Upon the whole record and all the evidence, after hearing, the Board finds that the parties herein are Carrier and employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, and that this Board is duly constituted by agreement and has jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject matter.

The Board finds that on claim dates the ice dock workers were required after icing cars to fill in the three hours of call in pay to pick up waste paper around the dispatcher's office, Superintendent's office and lunch room. This is not the exclusive work of Maintenance of I-lay employees. Therefore, the Carrier was not required to call the claimant to perform this work.
