LOCAL 246, S.E.I.U. V. CITY, 8 OCB 64 (BOC 1971) [Decision No. 64-71 (Amend. Cert.)] OFFICE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BOARD OF CERTIFICATION - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - X In the Matter of NEW YORK CITY LOCAL 246, S.E.I.U., DECISION NO.64-71 AFL-CIO DOCKET NO. RU-257-71 -and-THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND RELATED PUBLIC EMPLOYERS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - X DECISION AND ORDER AMENDING CERTIFICATION On February 22, 1971, New York City Local 246, S.E.I.U., AFL-CIO, filed its petition herein, requesting that General Mechanic be added to Certificate No.54-70, covering various automotive and machinist titles, or, in the alternative, that General Mechanic be certified as a separate unit. Upon consideration of its investigation, and after due deliberation, the Board of Certification issues the following decision: I. Undisputed Matters It is 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. 64-71 Docket No. RU-257-71 2. II. The Appropriate Unit and Representative Status Petitioner was certified by the Board of Certification on July 24, 1970 (Decision No.54-70) as representative of a unit consisting of Auto Machinists, Auto Mechanics, Auto Mechanics (Diesel), Machinists, Machinist's Helpers, Electricians (Automotive), Automotive Servicemen, Carriage Upholsterers, Batterymen, and Rubber Tire Repairers. The Office of Labor Relations objected to the present petition on the ground that the petitioned title of General Mechanic is inappropriate for inclusion in the aforesaid unit. However, the Office of Labor Relations has not expressed any position concerning the appropriateness of any alternative unit. The petitioned title is retained "for present incumbents only" and calls for an assortment and variety of duties and skills, some of which are similar to those of the employees certified in Decision No.54-70. The four active employees, in the aggregate, spend approximately 41% of their time on maintenance and repair of automotive and non-automotive machinery and equipment, 35% on building maintenance, and the remainder on miscellaneous tasks. Based upon the foregoing factors we find, therefore, that these employees may properly be included in the certified unit now represented by the Petitioner.
Decision No. 64-71 Docket No. RU-257-71 3. It appears to the satisfaction of the Board that a majority of the employees in the title of General Mechanic have demonstrated their desire to be represented by Local 246 by having authorized dues check-off in behalf of said organization, and, accordingly, we shall add such title to Certification No.54-70. ORDER AMENDING CERTIFICATION Pursuant to the powers vested in the Board of Certification by the New York City Collective Bargaining Law, it is hereby ORDERED that Certification No.54-70 be, and the same, hereby is, amended to include the title of General Mechanic; and , as amended, such unit shall consist of General Mechanics, Auto Machinists, Auto Mechanics, Auto Mechanics (Diesel), Machinists, Machinist's Helpers, Electricians (Automotive), Automotive Servicemen, Carriage Upholsterers, Batterymen, and Rubber Tire Repairers, employed by the City of New York and related public employers subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Certification, and subject to existing contracts, if any.
