On July 3, 1970, Local 237, City Employees Union, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, (herein called Local 237) filed its petition (Docket No. RU-203-70).

Decision No. 70-70 Docket Nos. RU-191-70 RU-203-70 2. I. Undisputed Matters It is undisputed, and we find and conclude that in fact and within the meaning of the New York City Collective Bargaining Law, Locals 300 and 237 are public employee organizations; and that a question or controversy concerning representation exists. II. The Appropriate Unit Local 300 seeks to add the title of Senior Pipe Laying Inspector to its existing certification for the single title of Pipe Laying Inspector. Local 237 has petitioned for a unit consisting of the same two titles. The City of New York agrees that a single unit of these two titles is appropriate. We find and conclude, therefore, that Pipe Laying Inspectors and Senior Pipe Laying Inspectors constitute a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining, in fact and within the meaning of the New York City Collective Bargaining Law. III. Representative Status We shall conduct an election by secret ballot among the employees in the appropriate unit to determine whether or not they desire to be represented for the purposes of collective bargaining, and shall place the names of Local 300 and of Local 237 on the ballot.
