The City has interposed no objection to the requested unit. Upon reconsideration of its investigation, and after due deliberation, the Board of Certification issues the following decision: I. Undisputed Matters It was undisputed, and we find and conclude, that Petitioner is a public employee organization in fact and within the meaning of the New York City Collective Bargaining Law.
DECISION NO. 34-69 DOCKET NO. RU-63-68 2. II. The Appropriate Unit Petitioner presently is the City-wide representative of a supervisory unit (5 N.Y.C.D.L. No. 53) consisting of Supervising Housing Inspectors and Principal Housing Inspectors. Four somewhat related titles have been certificated to other unions. The remaining supervising and principal titles engaged in supervision of the inspection of various aspects of construction work have not been certificated to any organization. Thus they constitute an appropriate residual unit. Accordingly we find that the following employees constitute a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining, in fact and within the meaning of The New York City Collective Bargaining Law: Supervising Boiler Inspectors (Rule XI) and Inspectors of Boilers, Grade 4 (Rule X) equated thereto; Supervising Elevator Inspectors (Rule XI) and Inspectors of Elevators Grade 4 (Rule X) equated thereto; Supervising Plumbing Inspectors (Rule XI) and Inspectors of Plumbing, Grade 4 (Rule X) equated thereto; Supervising Construction Inspectors (Rule XI), and Inspectors of Carpentry and Masonry, Grade 4 (Rule X) and Inspectors of Construction, Grade 4 (Rule X) equated thereto;

III.Representative Status Our investigation discloses that a majority of the employees in the appropriate unit have authorized dues check-off in behalf of Petitioner. We find and conclude that Petitioner has been designated and selected by a majority of the employees in the appropriate unit as their representative for the purposes of collective bargaining.
