Notice of this petition was given to the public. Over one month earlier, Local 1180, Communications Workers of America (“CWA”) filed a petition in Case No. AC-5-03, seeking to add the same title to its bargaining unit under Certification No. 41-73. 1 At a conference held on October 3, 2003, CWA indicated that it no 1 This petition was later amended to include the title Associate Call Center Representative.
Decision No. 7-2003 longer wished to represent employees in the title Call Center Representative, and withdrew its petition as to that title. As a result, DC 37 remains the only union interested in representing Call Center Representatives. The City raised no objection to the inclusion of employees in the Call Center Representative title in DC 37's bargaining unit pursuant to Certification No. 46C-75. The Board of Certification is satisfied that no evidence was presented to rebut Petitioner’s assertion that the title – Call Center Representative – has a sufficient community of interest with persons who are already members of the certified bargaining unit. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in the Board of Certification by the New York City Collective Bargaining Law (New York City Administrative Code, Title 12, Chapter 3), it is hereby ORDERED that Certification No. 46C-75 (as previously amended) be, and the same hereby is, further amended to add the title: Call Center Representative (Title Code 10260), subject to existing contracts, if any.
