1 In reaching this conclusion, we do not rely on the Regional Director’s analysis that excluding
the Dietician from the unit would leave a residual unit of one unrepresented employee in the
Nutrition Center, and we decline to consider whether a single employee residual unit should
affect an accretion analysis. We instead conclude that the Dietician has “little to no separate
group identity” from the Animal Keepers and thus the Dietician cannot be considered to be an
appropriate separate unit under Safeway Stores, 256 NLRB 918 (1981).
