Kyle, hearing officer. The hearing officer's rulings made at the hearing are free from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (b) of the National Labor Relations Act, the Board has delegated its powers in connection with this case to a three-member panel [Chairman Herzog and Members Reynolds and Gray]. Upon the entire record in this case, the Board finds : 1. The Employer is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act. 2. The Petitioner, an employee of the Employer, asserts that the Union is no longer the bargaining representative of the employees of the Employer, as defined in Section 9 (a) of the Act. 3. On October 20, 1943, the Union was certified as the bargaining representative of the employees involved in this proceeding.' At the hearing, the union representative expressly renounced any interest in this unit, or claim to represent it, and moved that the petition be dismissed. In view of the disclaimer, we find that no question affecting com- merce exists concerning the representation of the employees of the Employer within the meaning of Section 9 (c) (1) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act. We shall therefore dismiss the petition.2 1 All employees in departments 150 and 153 of General Motors Corporation , Chevrolet Motor Division, Gear and Axle plant, Detroit , Michigan , who are hourly rated and em- ployed as draftsmen checker-product ; draftsmen detailer-senior ; draftsmen detaller draftsmen designer -product ; draftsmen tracer ; draftsmen designer -tools, jigs, and fixtures and draftsmen checker -tools, jigs, and fixtures , excluding all those employees whose work is of a supervisory or confidential nature. 2 Matter of Richfield Oil Corporation, 83 N.
