The Maryland Bolt and Nut Co.

In the Matter of THE MARYLAND BOLT AND Nu COMPANY and STEEL WORKERS ORGANIZING CoMMI'rTEE LOCAL No. 2060 Cases Nos. R--837 and C-798 AMENDED DIRECTION OF ELECTION September °2, 1939 On August 16, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called the Board, issued its Decision, Order, and Direction of Elec- tion 1 in the above-entitled proceeding. The Direction of Election provided that an election by secret ballot be conducted at such time a,s the Board should in the future direct among the production and maintenance employees who were employed by The Maryland Bolt and Nut Company, herein called the Company, within a period to be determined by the Board in the future, including Vernon Leach, Bernice Desser, and Howard Butler, but excluding other salaried, and clerical employees, watchmen, foremen, assistant foremen, and other supervisory employees, to determine whether or not they- desire to be represented by Steel Workers Organizing Committee, Local No. 2060, affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization, herein called Local No. 2060, for the purposes of collective bar- gaining. The Board has been informed by the Regional Director for the Fifth Region that the Company has posted notices that it will cease and desist from engaging in certain unfair labor practices, which the Board in its Order of August 16, 1939, required to be posted, and is otherwise complying with the provisions of said Order, and that Local No. 2060 desires that an election be held at this time among employees on the current pay roll of the Company. Since the pur- pose of delaying the election directed on August 16, 1939, was to allow time for the dissipation of the effects of unfair labor practices directed by the Company against Local No. 2060, we see no' reason for not granting the request of Local No. 2060. Accordingly, the Board hereby amends its Direction of Election to read as follows : 114 N. L. R. B. 707. 15 N. L. R. B., No. 11. 66 THE MARYLAND BOLT AND NUT COMPANY 67 By virtue of and pursuant to the power vested in the National Labor Relations Board by Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Rela- tions Act, 49 Stat. 449, and pursuant to Article III, Section 8, of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 2, it is hereby DIRECTED that, as a part of the investigation authorized by the Board to ascertain representatives for the purposes of collective bargaining with The Maryland Bolt and Nut Company, Balti- more, Maryland, an election by secret ballot shall be conducted within thirty (30) days from the date of this Amended Direction of Election under the direction and supervision of the Regional Direc- tor for the, Fifth Region, acting in this matter as agent for the National Labor Relations Board, and subject to Article III, Sec- tion 9, of said Rules and Regulations, among the production and maintenance employees of The Maryland Bolt and Nut Company whose names appear on its pay roll immediately preceding the date of this Amended Direction of Election, including employees who ,lid not work during such pay-roll period because they were ill or on vacation and employees who were then or have since been tem- porarily laid off, and also including Vernon Leach, Bernice Desser, and Howard Butler, but excluding other salaried and clerical em- ployees, watchmen, foremen, assistant foremen, and other super- visory employees, to determine whether or not they desire to be rep- resented by Steel Workers Organizing Committee, Local No. 2060, affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization, for the purposes of collective bargaining.
