parries and the Union appeared, participated, and were afforded full
,opportunity to be heard, to examine and cross-examine witnesses, and
to introduce evidence bearing on the issues. During the hearing all
Companies, excepting B. G. Rooke Packing Company, moved to dis-
miss the petitions on the grounds, in substance, (1) that there is no
proof that a question concerning representation has arisen; (2) that
there is no proof that the Union represents a substantial number of
employees within each of the appropriate units; and (3) that the
employees here concerned are agricultural laborers, within the mean-
ing of the National Labor Relations Act. The Trial Examiner re-
ferred the motions to' the Board. The motions are hereby denied 4
The Trial Examiner's rulings'made at the hearing are free from preju-
dicial error and are hereby affirmed. All parties were afforded an
opportunity to file briefs with the Board.
Upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I. TILE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANIES
The Companies are engaged in the business of packing citrus fruit
in California. They employ persons for handling, sorting, and pack-
ing the fruit during the packing season. Each company employs
some local and some transient workers. There are two seasons each
year in which, fruit is packed. Each season is approximately 2 months
in duration. The first, known as the navel season, ordinarily extends
from about the early part of November to the middle of January.
The second, known as the Valencia season, extends from about the
middle of April to the early part of June. During the 1943-44 navel
season and the 1944 Valencia season the following Companies packed
and shipped to points outside California the following number of
boxes of oranges, valued at approximately $4 per box: Allen and
Sandilands Packing Company, 59,291; D. A. Beattie Association, 35,-
048; Coop. Citrus Association, 59,612; W. Todd Dofflemyer, 32,204;
Elderwood Citrus Association, 104,815; Exeter Citrus Association,
160,060; Exeter Orange Growers Association, 45,697; Thomas H. Craig,
9,031; Grand View Heights Citrus Association, 285,731; Harding and
Leggett, 98,028; 5 Hillside Packing Company, 218,859; Ivanhoe Mutual
" With respect to the last ground mentioned , we have previously held that packing-shed
employees such as those involved in the instant proceeding are not agricultural laborers
as defined in Section 2 (3) of the Act. See, e g , Matter of North Whittier Heights Citrus
Association, 10 N. L R B 1269 , enf'd North Whittier Heights Citrus Ass'n v. N L. R. B.,

dismiss are considered hereinafter.
5 Harding and Leggett also packed and shipped to points outside California 12,935 boxes
of lemons and 8 ,909 boxes of grapefruit.

Inc., at Porterville, 217,397; American Fruit Growers, Inc., at Lindsay,
129,954; and Randolph Marketing Company, 145,239. During the
same period Stark and Waddell Packing Corp. packed and shipped
from its three packing sheds, two of which are now operated by Stark
Packing Corporation and the third by Waddell & Son, over 500,000
boxes of oranges to points outside of California. Occidental Life
Insurance Company packed and shipped from its packing shed at
Woodlake, which is now operated by American Fruit Growers, Inc.,
29,622 boxes of oranges and 6,032 boxes of lemons to points outside
California. During the same period, Tulare County Lemon and Grape-
fruit Association packed and shipped to points outside California 59,-
985 boxes of lemons. During 1943, Webb Packing Company sold over
25,000 boxes of fruit for more than $100,000, over 50 percent of which
was shipped to points outside California. Its 1944 operations will be
substantially the same. During 1943, B. G. Rooke Packing Company
shipped over 50,000 boxes of oranges, 85 percent of which was shipped
to points outside California. , About the 1941-1942 season, which was
the last time Plano Packing House Company operated its packing
shed, it shipped over 10,000 boxes of oranges to points outside Cali-
fornia.
We find that each of the Companies is engaged in commerce, within
the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.
c These figures represent B G Rooke Packing Company 's shipments from its packing
shed at Lindsay . This company has purchased the shed at Exeter formerly operated by
Exeter Select Groves and will operate both sheds this year . Fruit from the same source
will be packed at both sheds, and shipments from both will be made in approximately the
same fashion.

II. THE ORGANIZATION INVOLVED
United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing & Allied Workers of Amer-
ica is a labor organization affiliated with the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, admitting to membership employees of the Companies.
III. THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION
At the hearing, the Union requested of the Companies recognition
as statutory representative of the employees of each of the Companies..
The request was not granted, and the Companies contested the Union's
allegation that it had been designated by a majority of each of the
Companies' employees.`
The Union adduced -testimony concerning the extent of its member-
ship among the persons who work in the citrus fruit packing industry
in the area in which the Companies are located. This testimony indi-
cates that the Union represents a substantial number of the persons,
who are or will be employed by the Companies."
We find that questions affecting commerce have arisen concerning
the representation of employees of each of the Companies, within the
meaning of Section 9 (c) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act-
IV. THE APPROPRIATE UNITS
The Union and the Companies agree that separate units limited to
employees at each of the packing sheds operated by the Companies are
appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining 9 and that
clerical employees, officials, and all supervisory employees with author-
ity to hire, promote; discharge, discipline, or otherwise effect changes
The Union alleged in its petitions that the Companies had refused requests for recogni-
tion The evidence shows that no requests had been made prior to the hearing Since it
became clear at the hearing that the Union demands recognition and that the Companies
refuse to accord it without proof of majority designation, it is immaterial whether or not
the questions concerning representation arose prior thereto. Hatter of,I7ouston Blow Pipe
and Sheet Metal Works, 53 N L R B 184
'
The Companies contend that the petitions should be dismissed because of the failure
of the Union to submit specific evidence of its representation among the employees of each
of the Companies The Boaid ordinarily requites that a labor organization petitioning for
a determination of representatives present specific evidence of substantial designation indi-
cating that it is likely to be selected by the employees The requirement of such pre-
liminary evidence of representation is for the benefit of the Board in carrying out the
purposes of the Act. The absence of such specific evidence does not constitute grounds for
objection on the part of the employer to an election held among the employees
" All the Companies involved herein, excepting American Fruit Growers. Inc , B G Rooke
Packing Company Stark Packing Corporation, and Lemon Cove Association operate one
packing shed American Fruit Growers. Inc operates three sheds at or near Porterville,
Lindsay, and Woodlake, respectively , B G Rooke Packing Company operates a shed at
Lindsay and one at Exeter Stark Packing Corporation operates a shed of Strathmore and
one at Porterville and Lemon Cove Association operates two sheds at Lemon Cove At
the hearing, the Union's petitions as to the three Companies first named were amended to
include certain establishments of said Companies to which there was no specific reference
In the petitions.
730 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
in the. status of employees, or effectively recommend such action,
should be excluded from the units.
The Union requested that Mexican Nationals, if any, employed at
the packing sheds be excluded from the units on the grounds, in sub-
stance, that these employees are in the United States for a limited
period and that, since they were brought into the United States to
perform agricultural labor, they "have no business in the packing
sheds." All Companies except Webb Packing Company and B. G.
Rooke Packing Company agreed to the proposed exclusion; the latter
Companies took no position in this regard.' Since we are of the opin-,
ion that the considerations urged by the Union do not warrant their
exclusion, and since non-citizenship is neither a ground for exclusion
from a bargaining unit nor a disqualification for participation in
elections conducted by the Board,1° we shall include these employees
within the units.
We find that all employees at each of the packing sheds of the Com-
panies, listed in Appendix A, excluding clerical employees, officials,
and all supervisory employees with authority to hire, promote, dis-
charge, discipline, or otherwise effect changes in the status of em-
ployees, or effectively recommend such action, constitute, respectively,
separate units appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining,
within the meaning of Section 9 (b) of the Act.
V. THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES
We find that the questions concerning representation which have
arisen can best be resolved by means of elections by secret ballot.
The Union and all Companies, excepting Webb Packing Company,
agreed in substance that those eligible to vote shall be all employees
within the appropriate units who during the current season had worked
a total of 6 or more days prior to the date of the elections for one or
more of the Companies among whose employees elections are directed
herein, and whb were employed by at least one of said Companies dur-
ing the pay-roll period selected as determinative of eligibility, provided
that if any of said employees has been employed by more than one of
the Companies, he shall vote as the employee of the Company by whom
he was last employed during the pay-roll period. Webb Packing Com-
pany was in accord with this agreement, except that it contended that,
to be eligible to vote in an election among its employees, an employee
must have worked during the current season a total of 6 or more days
for it, rather than for one or more of the Companies. The Union
agreed to this. However, since there is some interchange of employees

ALLEN AND SANDILANDS PACKING COMPANY 731
among the Companies and in view of the agreement of the Union and
all other employers, we shall not accept the agreement between the
Union and Webb Packing Company in this regard. In all other re-
spects we shall give effect to the foregoing agreement of the parties.
The selection of the pay-roll period for determining eligibility to
vote remains. As set forth above, fruit is packed during two seasons,
the first of which ordinarily extends from about the early part of
November to the middle of January. This year, due to climatic con-
ditions, this season has been late in starting. It was estimated at the
hearing that the peak of the season would be reached during the week
ending December 9. Upon this basis, the Companies requested that
the pay rolls for this period be used to determine eligibility to vote.
The Union, while desiring the use of peak pay rolls to determine eligi-
bility, requested that the pay rolls for the week ending December 16.
be used to determine eligibility because it feared that many transient
workers will not have reached the area and will not have been em-
ployed in sufficient time to be eligible to vote if an earlier pay-roll
period is selected. Upon the entire record, we are satisfied that use of:
the pay rolls for the period ending December 9 will afford a representa-
tive basis for determining eligibility.
We shall direct that the questions concerning representation which
have arisen be resolved by elections by secret ballot 'among the em-
ployees within the appropriate units who during the current season had
worked a total of 6 or more days prior to the date of the elections for
one or more of the Companies listed in Appendix A, and who were
employed by at least one of the said Companies during the pay-roll
period ending December 9, 1944, (provided that if any of said em-
ployees has been employed by more than one of the Companies, he
shall vote as the employee of the Company by whom he was last em-
ployed during the pay-roll period), subject to the limitations and addi-
tions set forth in the Direction.
The Union's request that it be designated on the ballots as
`'UCAPAWA (CIO)" is hereby granted. '
DIRECTION OF ELECTIONS
By virtue of and pursuant to the power vestedAn the National Labor
Relations Board by Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Relations
Act, and pursuant to Article III, Section 9, of National Labor Rela-
tions Board Rules and Regulations-Series 3, as amended, it is hereby
DIRECTED that, as part of the investigation to ascertain representa-
tives for the purposes of collective bargaining with the Companies
listed in Appendix A, separate elections by secret ballot shall be con-
ducted as early as possible, but not later than thirty (30) days from
the date of this,Direction, under the direction and supervision of the
732 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Regional Director for the Twentieth Region, acting in this matter
as agent for the National Labor Relations Board, and subject to Article
III, Sections 10 and 11, of said Rules and Regulations, among the em-
ployees within the units found appropriate in Section IV, above, who
during the current season had worked a total of 6 or more days prior
to the date of the elections for one or more of the Companies llst2d
in Appendix A, and who were employed by at least one of said Com-
panies during the pay-roll period ending December 9, 1944, (provided
that if any, of said employees has been employed by more than one,
of the Companies, he shall vote as the employee of the Company by
whom he was last employed during the pay-roll period), including
employees who did not work during the said pay-roll period because
they were ill or on vacation or temporarily laid off, and including em-
ployees in the armed forces of the United States who present them-
selves in person at the polls, 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 elections, to determine whether or
not they desire to be represented by UCAPAWA (CIO), for the pur-
poses of collective bargaining.
