DIRECTION OF ELECTION
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Upon a petition duly filed by Association of Union Switch and
Signal Salaried Employees, affiliated with the National Federation of
Salaried Unions, herein called the Association, alleging that a ques-
tion affecting commerce had arisen concerning the representation of
employees of Union Switch and Signal Company, Swissvale, Penn-
sylvania, herein called the Company, the National Labor Relations
Board provided for an appropriate hearing upon due notice before
Allen Sinsheimer, Jr., Trial Examiner. Said hearing was held at
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 17, 1945. The Company, the Asso-
ciation, and United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of Amer-
ica, CIO, herein called the CIO, appeared and participated.' All
parties were afforded full opportunity to be heard, to examine and
cross-examine witnesses, and to introduce evidence bearing' on the
issues. The Trial Examiner's rulings' made at the hearing are free
from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed. All parties were
afforded an opportunity to file briefs with the Board.
' On February 6, 1945, Union Switch and Signal Workers Association advised the Board
that it had ceased to maintain any membership among the Company's employees and had
no interest in the instant proceeding.

Upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following :
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Union Switch and Signal Company is a Pennsylvania corporation
having its principal office and only plant at Swissvale, Pennsylvania,
where it is engaged in the manufacture and installation of railway
signal and control apparatus, car retarders, and locomotive brake rig-
ging and castings. During the past year, the Company purchased raw
materials, consisting of pig iron, scrap and non-ferrous metals, bronze,
brass and copper strips, bars and sheets, castings and insulating wires,
valued in excess of $1,000,000, of which approximately 50 percent was
shipped to its plant from points outside the Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania. During the same period, the Company manufactured fin-
ished products valued in excess of $1,000,000, of which over 50 percent
was shipped to points outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Company admits, for the purposes of this proceeding only, that
it is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the National Labor
Relations Act.
U. THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED
Association of Union Switch and Signal Salaried Employees, affi-
liated with the National Federation of Salaried Unions, is a labor
organization admitting to membership employees of the Company.
United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, affi-
liated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, is a labor organ-
ization adlxlitting to membership employees of the Company.
III. THE QUESTION CONCERNING REPRESENTATION
The Company has refused to grant recognition to the Association
as the exclusive bargaining representative of any of its employees
until the. Association has been certified by the Board in an appropriate
unit.
A statement of the Board Regional Director, introduced into evi-
dence at the hearing, indicates that the Association represents a, sub-
stantial number of employees in the unit hereinafter found appro-
priate.2
We find that a question affecting commerce has arisen concerning the
representation of employees of the Company, within the meaning of
Section 9 (c) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act.
2 The Regional Director reported that the Association ' submitted 407 authorization
cards, and that 379 cards bore names of persons appearing on a current pay roll of the
Company which contained the names of 774 employees within the unit alleged by the
Association to be appropriate. -
976 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Iv. TIIE APPROPRIATE UNIT
The Association seeks a unit of all salaried, office, clerical, and tech-
nical employees, excluding supervisory and all other employees. The
CIO contends that all shop clerks and Traffic Department clerks should
constitute a separate appropriate unit, and that all chasers, storerooiri
attendants, and matrons, whom the Association would include in its
unit, should remain in the production and maintenance unit which it
currently represents.3 Aside from these employees, the CIO evinced
no interest in representing any of the other employees sought by the
Association. The Company's position with respect to the constituency
of the unit is in accord with that of the Association, except that they
are in dispute concerning certain employees hereinafter discussed
whom the Company would exclude because they exercise supervisory,
confidential or managerial functions.
As a result of the prior certification, the chasers, storeroom at-
tendants, and matrons have been represented in collective bargaining
by the CIO for the past 4 years as part of a plant-wide unit of
production and maintenance employees. The Association would
include all chasers, one storeroom attendant, and two matrons in the
unit it-seeks, because these employees are paid on a salary basis.
Although some of the other storeroom attendants and matrons em-
ployed by the Company are hourly paid, their respective duties are
the same. We consequently see no reason to distinguish between
them merely on the basis of the method by which they are paid. In
view of our prior unit finding and the bargaining history predicated
thereon, we shall exclude chasers, storeroom attendants, and matrons
from the unit hereinafter found appropriate.
The shop clerks and Traffic Department clerks, whom the CIO
asserts should constitute a separate bargaining unit, work in the
various factory offices of'the Company, as do several other groups of
factory clerical employees included in the unit sought by the Associa-
tion. There are 12 departments, other than the Traffic Department,
located in factory buildings which employ clerical workers whose
duties and interests are substantially the same as the shop clerks and
Traffic Department clerks. The only apparent reason for the CIO's
request for a separate unit confined to 2 of the various groups of plant
clerical employees is that its membership has been extended only to
these employees. Although the Board has found appropriate units
3In May 1941, the Board certified the CIO as the exclusive bargaining agent for all the
Company's production and maintenance employees, including chasers and storeroom attend-
ants, but excluding , among others , office, clerical, and technical employees flatter of
Union Switch and Signal Company, 31 N L R B 545 The record in the present proceed-
ing discloses that the Company and the CIO included matrons in their subsequent bargain-
ing negotiations.
UNION SWITCH AND SIGNAL COMPANY 977
composed of departmental or other homogeneous groups of employees
pending more complete organization on a broader basis , it has not found
appropriate a unit composed of an arbitrary grouping of employees
such as sought herein by the CIO . ' Furthermore , the Association has
submitted a substantial showing of representation among all of the
factory clerical employees , including the shop clerks and Traffic De-
partment clerks . The Board customarily will not predicate its unit
finding on the extent of one union 's organization where, as here,
organization of the employees by a rival union has been effected on
the basis of a broader anti more appropriate bargaining unit. We
are of the opinion, therefore , that the separate unit requested by the
CIO is inappropriate.
As stated above, the Company and the Association are in accord as
to the general composition of a unit comprised of office, clerical, and
technical employees . They are also in agreement that the messenger
in the Personnel Department and the employees listed in Appendix A,
with the exception of those hereinafter discussed , should be included
in the unit ; and that 'dl other employees in the Personnel Department,
all employees in the Transportation and Research Department , except
the transportation engineers , all employees on the private salary roll
and in the Works Manager's office, superintendents , employees in the
Inspection Departme n t, Brake Division , Foremen-Foundry Divi-
sion, Watchmen Department , Case Wiring Department , Machining
Propellers Department , and the employees listed in Appendix B, with
exception of those hereinafter discussed , should be excluded as super-
visory, confidential , or managerial employees.
Employees whom the Company would exclude as supervisory
Departmental Chief Shop Clerks: The parties agreed to exclude the
Chief Shop Clerk and the Assistant Chief Shop Clerk who are in charge
of approximately 100 shop clerks, which includes the 22 Depart-
mental Chief Shop Clerks, whom the Company would exclude from
the unit. The Departmental Chiefs, whose pay is customarily more
than 50 percent higher than that of the employees under their re-
spective supervision, give instructions and assign work to from 1
to 14 employees, and are responsible for the performance of the work
in their departments. The amount of time spent by the Departmental
Chiefs in supervising the employees varies in accordance with the
number of shop clerks under their control. However, the record
is clear that each of them has the authority effectively to recommend
the discharge, discipline, or change in status of employees. One De-
partment Chief, A C. Friedrich, testified that the Company never
° See Matter of California Shipbuilding Corp . 57 N. L R B 1791
978 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
informed him that he was supervisor. He stated, nevertheless, that
at a time when he was in charge of only 1 shop clerk who was not
performing the work properly, Friedrich recommended that the em-
ployee be discharged, and the recommendation was followed by the
Company. He also stated that he had recommended pay raises for
employees under his supervision, which the Company granted. Since
it appears that the Departmental Chief Shop Clerks fall within our
customary definition of supervisory employees, we shall exclude them
from the unit.5
James Mitchell, who is classified as a clerk in the Stores Depart-
ment, acts as assistant to the department superintendent. The only
time that Mitchell assumes supervisory duties is during the absence
of both the superintendent and assistant superintendent. Such oc-
casions arise only in emergency situations, as the two superintendents
are rarely absent at the same time. Because Mitchell exercises super-
visory authority only at sporadic and infrequent intervals, we are of
the opinion that he is not a supervisory employee within the'Board's
customary definition thereof. Accordingly, we shall include him.
In the Engineering Department there are two engineers, C. S.
Snavely and H. G. Witmer, whom the Company would exclude.
Snavely was formerly in charge of a section, but is now assigned to a
position in which he has no employees under his supervision. Witmer
spends a negligible part of his time in directing the work of one part-
time employee. We find that neither Snavely nor Witmer is a super-
visory employee; we shall include them.
The assistant supervisor of the Electrical Division, Drafting Di-
partment, perform supervisory duties only in the absence of the di-
vision head which normally occurs only during the latter's vacation
or illness. He receives the same pay as the other non-supervisory
employees in the department. We are of the opinion that this em-
ployee is not a supervisory employee; we shall include him.
R. D. Friel, a Catalog and Publicity Clerk in the Publicity Depart-
ment, has one girl working under his direction. The record does not
indicate that Friel has effective authority to recommend the discharge,
discipline or changes in the status of this employee. We shall include
him.
David S. Anservitz is classified as a Chief Clerk in the G. O. and
File Department. He is not in charge of any employees and is re-
sponsible to the Chief of the Order Division, whose supervisory func-
tions he assumes only during the latter's absence due to illness or
vacation. Because lie is not a regular supervisor, but acts only in-
frequently in that capacity, we shall include him.

UNION SWITCH AND SIGNAL COMPANY 979
From the evidence adduced at the hearing we are of the opinion and
find that the following persons, whose status is also in dispute, possess
authority to recommend effectively the discharge, discipline, or change
of status of employees : Production Department, Order Clerk Super-
visors, A. H. Jones and C. C. Ackerman; Production Record Clerk
Supervisors, D. L. Glasgow and John Napolitano; Supervisor of Mu-
nitions Ordering, W. J. Morrissey ; Supervisor of Special Production
Record Clerks, S. M. Dunlap; and Supervisor of Recording and Requi-
sitioning of Material Purchases, John F. Wallace; Traffic Depart-
mient, Chief Clerk, C. E. Sellers; Telephone Department, Chief
Telephone Operator,; Engineering Department, Group Leader Engi-
neers ; 6 Drafting Department, Supervisors, Lang, Johnston, Savko,

Sales Department, Expediter H. G. Willson; Patent Department,
Chief Draftsman; and G. 0. and File Department, Chief General
File Clerk, F. X. Gorham, and Supervisor, B. Wright. We shall
exclude the foregoing employees from the unit.
Employees whom the Company would exclude as confidential
The Company would exclude Lucille White, Secretary to the Chief
of the Time-Study Department, Virginia McKechnic, Secretary to the
Chief of the Publicity Department, and Mary Heazlett, Secretary to
the Advertising Manager. In the performance of their secretarial
duties these employees acquire information relative to confidential
labor relations matters. We shall, therefore; exclude them.
Jeanne F. Hoffman, a clerk in the Construction and Maintenance
Department is responsible for all personnel records maintained in
connection with the Company's plant-protection force. In accord-
ance with our practice, we shall exclude this clerk because she is en-
gaged in personnel work in the performance of which she acquires
information pertaining to confidential labor relations matters.
The Company and the Association agreed to exclude all of the em-
ployees in the Relief and Pension Department except the stenog-
raphers and clerks, whom the Association would include. These
employees have access to and utilize the records of this department
O The parties agreed to exclude three of the Group Leader Engineers . Bernard E.
Ohagan, T. J Omera, and W. C. ilicWhirter.
These employees also exercise managerial functions in that they have authority to
determine sources of purchasing supplies and can commit the Company financially. See

which deals with matters relating to workmen's compensation and
disability claims. Although the records contain some information
which might appear in personnel records, they are concerned- pri-
marily with matters relating to the functions of the Relief and Pen-
sion Department. Accordingly, we shall include the stenographers
and clerks.8
Telephone Operators: These employees perform the usual duties
indicated by their title. They would not, in the normal course of
their duties, acquire confidential information in regard to the Com-
pany's labor relations; we shall include them.
Receptionist: This employee is- on the pay roll of the Construction
and Maintenance Department. She works at the main entrance to
the general office building where she identifies all visitors and directs
them to the person upon whom they are calling. Although she exer-
cises discretion in admitting visitors who do riot have appointments,
her duties are not confidential within the Board's customary defini-
tion. We shalhinclude her.
Pay Clerks: There are two of these employees in the Paymaster's
Department who prepare various records relating to the Company's
pay rolls. We shall include them in the unit since access to pay-roll in-
formation, of itself, is not sufficient to bring an employee within the
Board's definition of a confidential employee.'
Tabulating Machine Operator: Clyde O. Brugh is employed in the
Tabulating Department where his duties afford access to salary rate
changes. Because this information does not relate directly to matters
concerning the Company's labor relations, we shall include him.
Employees whom the Company would exclude as managerial
Sales Engineers and Transportation Engineers: These employees are
required to have- full knowledge of the Company's apparatus and signal
system. They conduct direct negotiations with railroad firms which
purchase equipment and they exercise considerable judgment in their
authority to commit the Company in the quotation of prices and de-
livery dates. We are of the opinion that the duties of the sales
engineer and transportation engineers are of a managerial nature. We
shall exclude them.10
Time-Study Observers: There are eight of these employees in the
Machine and Tool Design Department who study and analyze manu-
facturing operations and job performance. They make recommenda-
8 We shall also include the bookkeepers in the Accounting Department, all of whom the
Company would exclude because they have access to and use the records of the Relief and
Pension Department. See Matter of American Steel Wire Company, 58 N L R. B 253.

tions as to both job rates and incentive rates , which are generally fol-
lowed by the Company . On occasion , they are called into grievance
meetings involving determination of disputed rates. In view of the
managerial and confidential responsibilities of the time-study observ-
ers, we shall exclude them.-
Tool Designers and Tool Engineers : These employees work in the
same department as the time -study observers . Their duties are to de-
sign and lay out new tools and equipment to be used in the manu-
facturing operations . Although the rates of pay may be indirectly
affected by their operational status in connection with the tooling re-
quirements , the tool designers and tool engineers make no recom-
mendations with respect thereto . We are of the opinion that they are
not managerial employees ; we shall include them.
Engineer , Research Department : This employee performs a study
of shop problems dealing with materials and processes , but does not
participate in the setting of rates of pay. The record does not indi-
cate that the duties of this employee are of a managerial nature. Ac-
cordingly , we shall include him.
Jubal Cordwell : This employee is classified on the pay roll as In-
terpreter of railroad orders in the Specification Department. He was
formerly a supervisor , but now is engaged in revising description lists
.and standardization work. The record presents no facts which show
that Cordwell performs either supervisory or managerial duties; we
shall include him.
We find that alloffice, clerical , and technical employees of the Com-
pany,12 including shop clerks , and the messenger in the Personnel
Department , but excluding confidential employees, time-study observ-
ers in the Machine and Tool Design Department , sales engineer in
the Sales Department , transportation engineers in the Transporta-
tion and Research Department , the Chief Shop Clerk , Assistant Chief
