This decision is limited to only the aforementioned titles and the related titles of Human Services Technician (E.E.A.-6), Human Services Technician (E.E.A.-W), Assistant Neighborhood Aide (E.E.A.-6) and Assistant Neighborhood Aide (E.E.A.-W). 2 1 Employees in Emergency Employment Act titles are employees who, under a federally funded program pursuant to the "Emergency Employment Act of 1971", qualify for jobs in the public service.

Decision No. 57-72 2 Docket No. RU-324-72 The parties hereto have agreed, and it appears to the satisfaction of the Board, that the titles of Human Services Technician (E.E.A.) and Assistant Neighborhood Aide (E.E.A.) should be added to Certification No.26-72, presently covering various non-professional, non-supervisory social service and related titles. It also appears to the Board that employees in the titles of Human Services Technician (E.E.A.-6), Human Services Technician (E.E.A.-W), Assistant Neighborhood Aide (E.E.A.-6) and Assistant Neighborhood Aide (E.E.A.-W) share a community of interest with employees in the aforementioned titles and should be included in the same Certification. There are no incumbents in the requested titles of Human Services Aide (E.E.A.) or Assistant Community Liaison (E.E.A.) nor are there job descriptions for these titles. Accordingly, we shall exclude them from the unit. It further appears to the satisfaction of the Board that the unit as amended herein is appropriate and that a majority of the employees in said unit have demonstrated their desire to be represented by District Council 37, decisions employees were either accreted to, or, based on check-off, included in certifications covering employees sharing a community of interest with the added employees.
