EMPLOYER and GENERAL TRUCK DRIVERS UNION LOCAL No. 467, I. B.
OF T. C. W. AND H. OF A., PETITIONER
Case No. 01-RC-459.Decided December 16,1948
DECISION
AND
ORDER
Upon a petition duly filed, a hearing 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 Board makes the following :
FINDINGS OF FACT
THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER
The Employer is engaged at LaVerne, California, in the business of
general engineering and building contracting, and the production and
sale of rock, sand and transit mix concrete. During the year 1947,
the Employer purchased materials and equipment worth more than
$315,000, of which approximately 5 percent represented shipments
from points outside the State of California. During the same period,
all the Employer's products and services were sold within the State.
While we do not find that the Employer' s operations are wholly
unrelated to commerce, we are of the opinion that the relationship is
remote and the operations are essentially local in character. The
assertion of jurisdiction in this case would not, therefore, effectuate
the policies of the Act. Accordingly, we shall dismiss the petition.2
1 The petition and other formal papers are hereby amended to show the correct name
of the Employer.

record in the case, the National Labor Relations Board hereby orders
that the petition filed in the instant matter be, and it hereby is,
dismissed.
