On April 19, 2004, OSA requested withdrawal of its petition. The Director of Representation granted OSAs request for withdrawal on April 20, 2004. As a result, CWA remains the only union interested in representing Associate Call Center Representatives, Levels I and II. The City of New York raised no objection to the inclusion of these employees in CWAs bargaining unit pursuant to Certification No. 41-73. The Board of Certification is satisfied that no evidence was presented to rebut CWAs assertion that Associate Call Center Representatives, Levels I and II, have a sufficient community of interest with the members of the certified bargaining unit.
