RB-18-72 -and-THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND RELATED PUBLIC EMPLOYERS --------------------------------X DECISION AND ORDER By a notice dated October 6, 1972, the parties hereto were advised by the Board of Certification of its proposal to consolidate certain specified Certifications held by District Council 37, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, and/or its affiliated locals. The said notice set forth the titles within the Certifications proposed to be consolidated by the Board. The said notice also afforded all parties, including the parties hereto, an opportunity to show cause why such proposed consolidation of the specified units should not be acted upon, and said notice was published in the City Record on October 12, 1972. By letter dated October 24, 1972, the Office of Labor Relations indicated a limited objection to the proposed consolidation, stating that it did not go far enough and favored instead an expanded
DECISION NO. 75-72 2 DOCKET NO. RB-18-72 consolidation which would include other proposals made by the Board (Cases RB-19-72 and RB-26-72). The Union has opposed the City's suggestion for an expanded unit beyond that proposed by the Board and supports the Board's proposed consolidated unit. While we do not determine that the City's proposed expanded unit is, per se, undesirable, we are of the view that it is premature at this time and, therefore, we shall adopt our proposal as final without, however, prejudice to the City's position that still further consolidation is desirable. Therefore, the Board's proposal is adopted as the decision of the Board, and, accordingly, the Board directs consolidation of the specified units as set forth in the Order entered herein. 0 R D E R NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in the Board of Certification by the New York City Collective Bargaining Law, it is hereby
