ROCKWELL REGISTER CORPORATION and INTERNATIONAL UNION, UNITED
AUTOMOBILE WORKERS OF AMERICA, AFL, PETITIONER. Case No.
8-RC-1314. June 4,1952
Order Amending Direction of Election
On April 16, 1952, the Board issued a Decision and Direction of
Election 1 in the above-entitled proceeding. Thereafter, on May 2,
1952, the Congress of Industrial Organizations,2 herein called CIO,
the International Union of Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers,
CIO, Local 768, herein called IUE, and the International Union,
United Automobile, Aircraft & Agricultural Implement Workers of
,''America, CIO, herein called UAW-CIO, jointly filed a motion to
amend; the Direction of Election to delete therefrom the IUE and
the t7AW-CIO and to place the CIO on the ballot in their stead.
The Petitioner filed a statement in opposition to the motion, asserting
that to grant the motion would violate the spirit and the terms of
the Act. The CIO submitted a reply to that statement. The Board
has considered the motion and the statements filed by the parties.
The Board finds no merit in the objections raised by the Petitioner.
Nothing in the Act precludes the withdrawal of the above CIO unions
and the placing of the CIO on the ballot. The desire of the em-
ployees to be represented by the Petitioner, the UE, the CIO, or no
union can best be resolved by a secret ballot election. Accordingly,
the motion will be granted. The Board does not, of course, now
decide what action it will take if a motion is hereafter made for
amendment or modification of any certificate which may issue as a
result of the election we have here directed.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Decision and Direction of Election
heretofore issued in this case be, and it hereby is, amended to delete
from the ballot the International Union of,Electrical, Radio & Ma-
chine Workers, CIO, Local 768 and the International Union, United
Automobile, Aircraft & Agricultural Implement Workers of America,
CIO, and to add on the ballot the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions.
