1034 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
the unit covered by a present contract between the Company and
Federation of Glass, Ceramic and Silica Sand Workers of America,
C. I. 0., herein called the Federation. The Board stated that if
the employees selected the Bottle Blowers as their bargaining repre-
sentative, they would constitute a part of the unit covered by the
Bottle Blowers contract, and if they chose the Federation, they would
constitute a part of the unit covered by the Federation's contract.-
We find that Glass Bottle Blowers Association of United States
and Canada, Local No. 46, affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, has been designated and selected by a majority of all
upkeep men and learners of Universal Glass Products Company,
Parkersburg, West Virginia, as their representative for the purposes
of collective bargaining. As we-stated in our Decision and Direction
of Election, the Bottle Blowers may now bargain for upkeep men
and learners and other employees covered by its contract with the
Company in a single unit inasmuch as they already represent the
latter group?
