NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS , CHAUFFEURS , WAREHOUSE-
MEN AND HELPERS , AFL, LOCAL UNION No. 492, PETITIONER
Case No. 33-RC-50.Decided November 2,1948
DECISION
AND
ORDER
Upon a petition duly filed, hearing in this case was held before a
hearing officer of the National Labor Relations Board. The hearing
officer's rulings made at the hearing are free from prejudicial error
and are hereby affirmed.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (b) of the National Labor
Relations Act, the Board has delegated its powers in connection with
this case to a three-man panel consisting of the undersigned Board
Members.*
Upon the entire record in the case, the National Labor Relations
Board makes the following findings of fact :
The Employer, a New Mexico corporation with its principal place
of business at Albuquerque, New Mexico, is engaged in the processing,
manufacture, and wholesale and retail sale and distribution of milk,
butter, cottage cheese, ice cream, frozen novelties, chocolate milk, and
other dairy products.
During 1947, the Employer purchased raw materials valued in ex-
cess of $500,000 of which approximately 25 percent or $125,000 was
purchased from outside the State of New Mexico. During the year
1947, the Employer sold finished products valued in excess of
$1,000,000, none of which was shipped to points outside the State.
Although the Employer, as stated above, makes some purchases
outside the State of New Mexico, its activities are essentially local in
character. We, therefore, are of the opinion that it would not effec-
tuate the policies of the Act to assert jurisdiction in this case. Accord-
ingly, we shall dismiss the petition.'
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for investigation and certifica-
tion of representatives filed herein be, and it hereby is, dismissed.
