The applicant Millwrights filed a jurisdictional dispute complaint regarding the assignment of work involving the removal and installation of kiln chains at a paper mill.
The employer had assigned the work to a 50-50 composite crew of ironworkers and millwrights.
The Ironworkers claimed exclusive jurisdiction over the work.
The Board found that the area practice was mixed and that the employer's assignment to a composite crew was proper, directing the employer to continue assigning the work on that basis in the relevant geographic areas.
