DECISION
AND
DIRECTION OF ELECTION
Upon a petition duly filed, hearing in this case was held at Allen-
town, Pennsylvania , on March 9-6 , 1947, before John H. Garver, hear-
ing officer . The hearing officer 's rulings made at the hearing are free
from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed.
Upon the entire record in the case , the National Labor Relations
Board makes the following :
FIN DINGS OF FAC'r
I. 'I'll E' BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER
Western Electric Company, Incorporated, is a Nev,- York corpora-
tion having its principal office in New York City. It operates a num-
ber of plants throughout the United States including one located in
Allentown, Pennsylvania, which is the only plant involved in this
proceeding. At this plant the Employer manufactures quartz crystals,
synthetic crystals, glow lamps, resistance lamps, parts of miniature
tubes, and other products. During the latter half of 1946, the Em-
ployer purchased for use at its Allentown plant, raw materials valued
at more than $100,000, of which approximately 90 percent was shipped
from points outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During the
same period, the Employer produced finished products valued at more
76 N L R B., No 56

WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED 401
than $200,000, of which approximately 98 percent was shipped to
points outside the Commonwealth.
The Employer admits and we find that it is engaged In commerce
within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.
11. TI1L ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED 1
The Petitioner is a labor organization presently affiliated with the
Communications Workers of America , claiming to represent employees
of the Employer.2
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, herein called
the IBEW , is a labor organization affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, claiming to represent employees of the
Employer.]
III. TILE QUESTION CONCERNING REPRESENTATION
The Employer refuses to recognize the Petitioner as the exclusive
bargaining representative of employees of the Employer until the
Petitioner has been certified by the Board in an appropriate unit.
We find that a question affecting commerce exists concerning the
representation of employees of the Employer, within the meaning of
Section 9 (c) (1) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act.
IV. THE APPROPRIATE UNIT
The parties agree generally that the appropriate unit should include
all production and maintenance employees of the Employer at its
Allentown plant, excluding admnnlstrativ e and clerical employees and
supervisors within the meaning of the Act. The only controversy
concerns the inclusion of cafeteria employees and plant guards.
Cateteuiia emmployees: The Employer presently maintains a small
cafeteria for the benefit of its production and maintenance personnel.
It expects however to establish a larger cafeteria and to increase from
2 to 16, the present staff of employees therein. The Petitioner urges
' United iiiecti1cai, Radio & JLtchIno AVoikers of America, CIO, appeaie4 and participated
in the healing but has since lvIthdial0n as a panty to the proceeding
'At the date of the hearing, the Communications Equipment Workeis (CEW) Allentown,
Pennssh-anna, the I'et1t1ouer herein, was an alhlsate of the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers (NF;rVV) Pursuant to a resolution adopted at its Constitutional Conven-
tion, the NFTR' Ras dissolved effective Tune S. 1947, and as of June 9, 1947, the Comnu al-
cations \Voikers of America (C\VA) became the successor thereof As successor to the
NFTW, the CVA is the over-all affiliate of the CE AV
The hearing officer reserved ruling on a motion of the IBEW to appear on the ballot
because it had pi esented no evidence of its i epresentative mtel est IIo s ever, the IItEW
hay since satisfied the Board adnun1stralively that as of the hearing date it had such an
interest among the emplolees involve(] herein Accoidinglg, the ME\V will be permitted
to participate in the election heiemafter directed
402 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
that these workers be included in the appropriate unit; the Employer
seeks to exclude their. The IBEW takes no position in this matter.
The record reveals that cafeteria employees work in the same build-
ing as do the other employees and under many similar working condi-
tions. We are of the opinion that the interests of the cafeteria em-
ployees are closely related to those of the production and maintenance
employees and, accordingly, we shall include them in the appropriate
unit.,
Plant guards: The Petitioner seeks to represent the Employer's
print guards and requests that they be included in the same unit with
the production and maintenance employees. Should the Board ex-
clude the plant guards from the production and maintenance unit, the
Petitioner alternately requests the establishment of a separate unit of
plant guards. The Employer and the IBEW agree with the Peti-
tioner's latter position.
The Employer's plant-protection force consists of upproxunately
five guards all under the supervision of a sergeant who, in turn, is
responsible to the supervisor of the plant maintenance department.
These employees are paid on an hourly basis, wear uniforms, and are
armed but are not deputized. It does not appear that they are mili-
tarized. Their duties relate primarily to the preservation of the Eiii-
ployer's property and the maintenance of plant discipline. They
guard the plant area against the unauthorized entry and departure
by employees or by outsiders; they patrol the plant premises to see
that fire regulations are observed; and they call the attention of em-
ployees to infractions of rules and report such violations to plant
authorities. Since the guards perform plant protection duties we
shall exclude them from the unit hereinafter found appropriate.'
Furthermore, inasmuch as the Petitioner "admits to membership" and
"is affiliated . . . with an organization which admits to membership
employees other than guards," it cannot under Section 9 (b) (3)
of the Act, as amended, represent the guards even though such em-
ployees are placed in a separate unit. We shall therefore deny the
Petitioner's alternate request for the establishment of a separate unit
of plant guards.
Fireman: The Employer has one employee classified as a plant
guard who tends fires exclusively. He wears no uniform, is not armed,
and reports to the plant maintenance supervisor. It is his responsi-
bility to keep up the fire and steam and to see that a set temperature
is maintained in certain sections of the plant. The nature of this

See Matter of S IV. Evans d Son, 75 N L. R B 811.
WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED 403
employee's duties and responsibilities are those of a maintenance em-
ployee rather than those of plant guard and we shall, therefore, in-
clude him in the production and maintenance unit.'
.We find that all the production and maintenance employees 7 at the
Employer's Allentown, Pennsylvania, plant, including the cafeteria
employees and the fireman, but excluding all plant guards, adminis-
trative and clerical employees and all supervisors, constitute a unit
appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining within the mean-
ing of Section 9 (b) of the Act.
V. THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Employer urges that an election among its employees in Allen-
town would be premature at this time because it is expanding its Allen-
town operations and expects to increase the present number of pro-
duction and maintenance employees from 437 to approximately 1,800.8
Furthermore, the Employer asserts that the present complement of
employees does not constitute a fair cross section of the personnel
which will ultimately be in its employ. The Petitioner desires an im-
mediate election.
The Allentown operations are a part of the Employer's electronic
division which consists of plants located within the States of New
York and New Jersey. The Employer has undertaken to move the
entire electronic division to Allentown where a new plant is being
constructed at Union Boulevard to house this unit. In the meantime,
a section of the division is presently operating in rented premises in
Allentown, to which it was transferred sometime in June of 1946.
There are three temporary quarters in use, one located at Franklin
Street, another on Hanover Avenue and a third in the Susquehanna

' In accordance with a stipulation of the parties at the hearing , there are included
among others in the production and maintenance unit those employees within the classifi-
cations listed in "Appendix A" and excluded therefrom employees in the classifications
listed in "Appendix B." Mr. Reynolds and Mr Gray concur in the inclusion of the in-
spectors listed in Appendix A inasmuch as the parties have agreed to their inclusion and
there is no showing that their duties affect the earnings of the employees whose work they
inspect . See Matter of Luminous Processes , Inc , 71 N L. R B 405, 408, and Mr Reynolds'
dissent therein.

maintenance employees appears in the following schedule submitted at the hearing by the

building.9 It was estimated by the Employer that one-third of the
plant would be completed and available for occupancy in July 1947,
one-half in October 1947, and the entire plant by March 1948.10 The
record indicates that although the Employer does not have at present
a full complement of employees in Allentown, it is producing finished
products there.
Since the date of the hearing we have been advised by the Regional
Director 11 that certain changes have occurred in the contemplated rate
of expansion of the Employer's Allentown plant as revealed in a letter
from the Employer to the Board's, Regional Office,12 which indicates
that no substantial increase in the expected complement of employees
has occurred since the date of the hearing. Moreover, it appears that
at least some of the difficulties already encountered by the Employer
with respect to the construction of its new plant may further delay
its completion and thus no definite estimate can be made as to the
rate of personnel expansion or the date on which the full complement
of employees will be employed. In a situation such as is here present,
we have, in the past, applied the formula evolved in the Alurninwm
Company case 13 and in-ordering an immediate election have provided
in our Direction that a new petition would be entertained 6 months
after any certification issued pursuant thereto upon competent evi-
dence that the number of employees in the appropriate unit had more
than doubled and that the Petitioner then represented a substantial
number of employees in the enlarged unit. However, we are precluded
from further application of the foregoing formula by Section 9 (c)
(3) of the Act, as amended, which provides that the Board shall not
conduct more than one valid election per year in any bargaining unit.
We are, nevertheless, reluctant to deprive the employees presently

Franklin Street location effective from about March 1946 The record does not disclose
the terms under which the other premises are being occupied
10 The first move would be from the New York shop and would start sometime in July
1947 The second move would take place in October 1947 and would be from the present
temporary locations in Allentown.

72 On August 12, 1947, the Employer advised the Board as follows :
(1) The present (8/2/47) complements of employees herein concerned at the Employer's
Allentown plants are :
(a) Total production and maintenance 441
(b) Total cafeteria employees 5
(2) The anticipated complements of employees are :
(a) Total production and maintenance: 1,670.
(b) Total cafeteria employees : 28. -
(3) The total anticipated complement will be reached December 1, 1948.
(4) The total number of production and maintenance employees engaged as of August 2,
1947, will not be increased until on or about April 1, 1948, other than by the hiring of
approximately 125 trainees Thereafter, for 8 months employees in the production and
maintenance department will be hired at a rate slightly in excess of 125 a month.

employed of an opportunity to select a bargaining representative,
since their number is substantial and they constitute a representative
group of the ultimate personnel complement. Moreover, the uncer-
tainty as to when the contemplated expansion will be affected, as
evidenced by the fact that the number of employees in the group
herein concerned has not materially increased in approximately 11
months, and the further fact that the expansion of the Employer's
present working force is contingent upon factors not wholly within
its control, compels the conclusion that there is no warrant for post-
poning the election sought herein. Accordingly, we shall direct an
immediate election among the employees in the unit above found
appropriate.14
DIRECTION OF ELECTION 15
As part of the investigation to ascertain representatives for the
purposes of collective bargaining with Western Electric Company,
Incorporated, Allentown, Pennsylvania, an election by secret ballot
shall be conducted as early as possible, but not later than thirty (30)
days from the date of this Direction, under the direction and super-
vision of the Regional Director for the Fourth Region, and subject
to Sections 203.61 and 203.62, of National Labor Relations Board Rules
and Regulations-Series 5, among the employees in the unit found
appropriate in Section IV, above, who were employed during the
pay-roll period immediately preceding the date of.this Direction, in-
cluding employees who did not work during said pay-roll period be-
cause they were ill or on vacation or temporarily laid off, but excluding
those employees who have since quit or been discharged for cause and
have not been rehired or reinstated prior to the date of the election
and also excluding employees on strike who are not entitled to rein-
statement, to determine whether they desire to be represented by
Communications Equipment Workers, C. W. A., or by the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, A. F. of L., for the purposes
of collective bargaining, or by neither.
CHAIRMAN HERZOG took no part in the consideration of the above
Decision and Direction of Election.
