SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION
AND
ORDER
September 26, 1945
On October 25 and 26, 1944, elections were conducted in the above
matters pursuant to the Board's direction of September 26, 1944 (58
N. L. R. B. 560), and in accordance with the Rules and Regulations
of the Board. On November 18, 1944, the Board issued a Supple-
mental Decision and Certification, in which it granted permission to
the International Association of Machinists to bargain for the em-
ployees in the Machinist Voting Group as part of the bargaining-unit
currently represented by that organization ; certified the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local B-302, as the representa-
tive of the employees in the Electricians Voting Group; and withheld
from the Association, which had received a majority of the valid
votes counted among the employees in the Residual Production and
Maintenance Group, permission to bargain for such employees as
part of the State-wide unit it purportedly represented, pending final
determination of Case No. 21-C-2167, Matter of Standard Oil Com-
pany of California. Thereafter, on May 19, 1945, the Board issued
its Decision and Order in the said Case No. 21-G-2167 (61 N. L. R. B.
1251) finding, inter alia, that the Association is a company-dominated
•organization and directing the Company to withdraw all recogni-
tion from, and to disestablish the Association as the collective bargain-
ing representative of any of its employees. Inasmuch as no bona fade
collective bargaining representative has been chosen by the employees
in Case No. 20-R-1079, in the Residual Production and Maintenance
Group, we shall dismiss the'petition insofar as it affects such employees.
