The stipulation provides (1) that the words "in the State of California" appearing in the definition of each appropriate unit and voting group be deleted therefrom and that there be substi- tuted in place thereof the words "in that portion of California south of a line extended through Malaga and King City, California"; (2) that in the definitions of bargaining units numbers 1, 2, and 3, the words "production and maintenance" be deleted therefrom and the word "paid" be substituted in place thereof; (3) that in the definition of bargaining unit number 5, the words "production and maintenance" be deleted therefrom; (4) that in the definition of voting group number 5, the words "production and maintenance" be deleted therefrom. The stipulation is hereby approved and made a part of the record. We find that the bargaining units and voting groups, previously defined by the Board embrace only those employees of the. Company who are em- ployed in that portion of California south of a line extended through Malaga and King City, California; that the first three bargaining units embrace all hourly paid employees, subject to the same inclusions and exclusions; that the first category of excluded employees referred to in the fifth bargaining unit consists of all hourly paid employees of the manufacturing department; that the fifth voting group embraces all hourly paid employees in the manufacturing department, subject to the same inclusions and exclusions. Since it appears that a longer time within which to hold the election is necessary, the Direction of Elections is hereby amended by striking therefrom the words "not later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Direction of Elections," and substituting therefor the words "not later than forty (40) days from the date of this Direction of Elections." 601248-45-vol. 57-14
