SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION AND
DIRECTION OF ELECTION
BY MEMBERS JENKINS, KENNEDY, AND PENELLO
On April 12, 1974, the Board issued a Decision and
Order in this proceeding,' finding, inter alia, that a
multiemployer bargaining unit was appropriate.
However, because the identity of the members of the
Association comprising the unit could not be ascer-
tained from the record, the Board ordered the case
remanded to Region 2 for further proceedings to de-
termine the composition of the associationwide unit.
Pursuant to that order, further hearing was held on
May 3, 1974, before Hearing Officer Howard Shapiro
at New York, New York. At the close of that hearing,
and pursuant to Section 102.67 of the Board's Rules
and Regulations and Statements of Procedure , Series
8, as amended, the Regional Director for Region 2
transferred the case to the Board for decision. There-
after the Employer and the Petitioner filed briefs.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the
National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board has delegated its au-
thority in this proceeding to a three-member panel.
The Board has reviewed the Hearing Officer's rul-
ings made at the hearing and finds that they are free
from prejudicial error. The rulings are hereby af-
firmed.'

2 Before and during the hearing , Employer raised the issue of Petitioner's
qualification for certification , contending that Petitioner discriminates on the
basis of sex and race in an effort to pursue this issue, Employer served a
subpoena duces tecum on Petitioner , requesting the production of certain
documents relating to Petitioner's membership The Hearing Officer granted
Petitioner 's motion to quash the subpena On the basis of the position taken
by each of us in Bekins Moving & Storage Co of Florida, Inc, 211 NLRB No
7 (1974), we affirm this ruling
Upon the entire record in this case , the Board finds:
The disagreement over the composition of the ap-
propriate unit which existed at the time of the original
hearing appears to have been resolved by the finding
in our earlier decision that Tab Electric, Inc., had
effectively withdrawn from the associationwide bar-
gaining unit. The parties now appear to be in agree-
ment that those members of the Employer whose
names are listed on Board Exhibit 6, excluding Tab
Electric, Inc., but including Alco Electric Co.,' repre-
sent the membership at the time of the original hear-
ing whose employees would belong in a multiemploy-
er bargaining unit such as has been found
appropriate. The record of the further hearing shows
no change in the composition of such membership.
In the circumstances and in accord with the parties'
agreement on the composition of the unit as revealed
by this record, we shall direct an election in the mul-
tiemployer bargaining unit heretofore found appro-
priate.4
