tion and maintenance employees of 2 plants together ,' constitute units

direction and supervision of the Regional Director for the Seventh

On October 11, 1939, the C. I. O.-U. A. W. filed a motion to amend the decision so as
to establish a single unit embracing all the plants of the Company and for certification of

this motion.

which the C. I. O.-U. A. W. had been designated as collective bargain-
ing agent by a majority of the production and maintenance em-
ployees. Both the Company and the A. F. L.-U. A. W. opposed the
motion of the C. I. O.-U. A. W. The C. I. O.-U. A. W. also re-
quested permission to argue orally and to file briefs . The Congress
of Industrial Organizations filed a motion for permission to intervene
for the purpose of arguing orally and filing briefs on the motion of
the C . I. O.-U. A. W. On October 27, 1939, the Board granted
the second motion of the C. I. O.-U. A. W. to the extent of permitting
oral argument and the filing of briefs , and on October 28, 1939,
granted the motion of the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
Pursuant to notice , a hearing for the purpose of oral argument on
the motion of the C. I. O.-U. A. W. was held before the Board at
Washington, D. C., on November 8, 1939. The C. I. O.-U. A. W., the
Congress of Industrial Organizations , the I. A. M., and the Company,
were represented by counsel and participated in the argument. The
C. I. O.-U: A. W., the Congress of Industrial Organizations, the
International Union, United Automobile Workers of America, affili-
ated with the A. F. of L., and the Company filed briefs, which the
Board has considered.
Upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following
supplemental findings of fact which supersede , to the extent that
they are inconsistent therewith , the findings of fact made in the
Board's Decision and Direction of Elections : 8
SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS OF FACT
I. THE APPROPRIATE UNIT
A. The die sinkers
We stated in our Decision that we would consider the desires of the
employees in Department No. 57 at the New Castle plant who are
die sinkers or are employed in the manufacture or maintenance of
dies used to complete forgings, in determining whether they are
to be represented separately or together with the balance of the
employees at that plant.
The results of the election on September 29, 1939, indicate that the
die sinkers desire to be constituted a separate appropriate unit. We
accordingly find that the employees in Department No. 57 of the New
Castle plant who are die sinkers or are employed in the manufacture
or maintenance of dies used to complete forgings , excluding super-
visory employees , constitute a unit appropriate for the purposes of
collective bargaining and that said unit will insure to these employees;
8 13 N. L . R. B. 1303.
CHRYSLER CORPORATION 743
of the Company the full benefit of their right to self-organization and
to collective bargaining and otherwise effectuate the policies of the
Act.
B. The plant units
In its motion, the C. I. O.-U. A. W. requests the Board to amend
its Decision so as to establish a single appropriate unit consisting of
the production and maintenance employees of the Company at all
of its plants, or, in the alternative, at those of the Company's plants
at which the majority of the production and maintenance employees
have chosen the C. I. O.-U. A. W. as their collective bargaining agent.
Both the Company and the A. F. L.-U. A. W. oppose the motion of
the C. I. O.-U. A. W., contending that the production and mainte-
nance employees at each plant constitute an appropriate unit.
In our original decision we pointed out that the past history of
collective bargaining in the plants had not established a pattern of
bargaining upon the basis of a single bargaining unit, and further
that there was no indication in the record of the relative strength of
the C. I. O.-U. A. W. and the A. F. L.-U. A. W. in the various plants.
The results of the elections, which are a part of the investigation
conducted by the Board, now show that the C. I. O.-U. A. W. has been
designated as collective bargaining agent by a majority of the produc-
tion and maintenance employees at 12 plants of the Company.° The
employees at these 12 plants have, in the exercise of the right to self-
organization guaranteed by the Act, chosen the same organization
to represent them in collective bargaining. In view of this fact and
in view of the fact that problems of wages, hours, and working condi-
tions arising at each of the plants are similar, we believe that all the
employees in those plants where the C. I. O.-U. A. W. obtained a
majority may properly constitute a single bargaining unit.
We accordingly find that all the production and maintenance em-
ployees of the Company at the Chrysler Jefferson, Chrysler Kerch
eval, Dodge Alain, Dodge Forge, Dodge Truck, DeSoto, Highland
Park, Amplex-Harper, Plymouth., Marysville, Los Angeles, and New
Castle plants, excluding foremen, assistant foremen, timekeepers,
plant-protection employees, office employees, confidential salaried
employees, and salaried engineers, and excluding employees in
Department No. 57 of the New Castle plant who are die sinkers or
who are employed in the manufacture and maintenance of dies used
to complete forgings, constitute a single unit appropriate for the
purposes of collective bargaining and that said unit will insure to
these employees of the Company the full benefit of their right to
° As stated above, in the New Castle plant, the employees of Department No. 57 who
were die sinkers or employed in the manufacture or maintenance of dies used to complete
forgings, voted for separate representation.

self-organization and to collective bargaining and otherwise ef-
fectuate the policies of the Company.
In view of the pending investigation of objections to the elections
at the Evansville and Kokomo plants we shall not make any disposi-
tion of the case with respect to those plants until completion of such
investigation.
Upon the basis of the above supplemental findings of fact, the
findings of fact not inconsistent therewith which were made in the
Board's Decision and Direction of Elections ,'0 and the entire record
in the case , the Board makes the following conclusions of law which
supersede , to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith, the
conclusions of law made in said Decision and Direction of Elections.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. All employees of the Company in Department No. 57 at the
New Castle plant who are die sinkers or are employed in the manu-
facture or maintenance of dies used to complete forgings , excluding
supervisory employees , constitute a unit appropriate for the pur-
poses of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9 (b)
of the National Labor Relations Act.
2. All the production and maintenance employees of the Company
at the Chrysler Jefferson , Chrysler Kercheval , Dodge Main, Dodge
Forge, Dodge Truck, DeSoto, Highland Park, Amplex-Harper, Plym-
outh;, Marysville , Los Angeles , and New Castle plants, excluding
foremen, assistant foremen, timekeepers , plant -protection employees,
office employees , confidential salaried employees , and salaried en-
gineers, and, in addition, excluding, at the New Castle plant only,
the employees of Department No. 57 of that plant who are die
sinkers or are employed in the manufacture or maintenance of dies
used to complete forgings , constitute a unit appropriate for the
purposes of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section
9 (b) of the National Labor Relations Act.

AIR. EDWIN S. SMITH, concurring :
While I adhere to the position expressed by me in my dissenting
opinion in the original Decision herein, inasmuch as the majority has
foreclosed the possibility of establishing a single bargaining unit of
the production and maintenance employees in all the plants, I concur
in the decision of the majority to include in a single unit those plants
in which the C. I. O.-U. A. W. has obtained a majority in the
elections.
