AMENDMENT TO DIRECTION OF ELECTION
May 5, 1939
On March 23, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision, Order, and Direction of Election 1
in the above-entitled proceedings, ordering that the respondent cease
and desist from certain unfair labor practices and take certain affirma-
tive action found necessary to effectuate the policies of the National
Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449, and directing that an election by
secret ballot be conducted at such time as the Board should in the
future direct, under the direction and supervision of the Regional
Director for the First Region (Boston, Massachusetts) among the
production and maintenance employees employed by Panther-Panto
Rubber Co., Inc., herein called the respondent, at its Stoughton,
Massachusetts, plant, during a period or at a time thereafter to be
determined by the Board, excluding clerical employees, executives,
foremen, subforemen, and other supervisory employees, to determine
whether or not they desire to be represented by United Rubber Work-
ers of America, Local No. 156, herein called the Union, for the
purposes of collective bargaining.
Although the respondent has not yet complied with the aforesaid
Order, the Union has requested the Board to direct that the election
be held immediately. Since the purpose of delaying the election was
to allow the dissipation of the effects of unfair labor practices di-
rected against the Union, the Board sees no reason for not granting
this request.
The Board, therefore, hereby amends the above-mentioned Direc-
tion of Election by striking therefrom the words, "at such time as
the Board shall in the future direct," and substituting therefor the
words, "within twenty (20) days from the date of this Amendment
1 11 N. L. R. B. 1261.
12 N. L. R. B., No. 80.
726
PANTHER-PANCO RUBBER CO., INC. 727
to Direction of Election," and by striking therefrom the words,
"during a period or at a time to be determined by the Board in the
future, excluding clerical employees, executives, foremen, subforemen,
and other supervisory employees," and substituting therefor the
words, "during the pay-roll period next preceding the date of this
Amendment to Direction of Election, excluding clerical employees,
executives, foremen, subforemen, and other supervisory employees,
and those who have since quit or been discharged for cause, but in-
cluding those who have since been temporarily laid off, and including
Thomas Billadeau, Warren Billadeau, Stanley Spillane, Earl Gui-
mond, and employees who did not work during such pay-roll period
because they were ill or on vacation."
MR. DONALD WAKEFIELD SMITH took no part in the consideration of
the above Amendment to Direction of Election.
