SUPPLEMENTAL FINDING OF FACT
In the Decision and Direction of Elections previously referred to,
the Board made no final determination as to the appropriate unit
for the purposes of collective bargaining pending the election, but
stated that "if a majority of the bus drivers and a majority of the
maintenance employees vote for the Association,' then both the bus
drivers and the maintenance employees shall constitute a single ap-
propriate unit and we shall certify the Association as the exclusive
bargaining representative of such employees."
We find that the bus drivers and maintenance employees of De
Camp Bus Lines and De Camp Interstate Transit Co., Livingston,
New Jersey, excluding supervisory and clerical employees, constitute
a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining and that
said unit will insure to employees of such Companies the full benefit
of their right to self-organization and to collective bargaining and
ctherwise effectuate the policies of the National Labor Relations Act.
SUPPLEMENTAL CONCLUSION OF LAW
The bus drivers and maintenance employees of De Camp Bus Lines
and De Camp Interstate Transit Co., Livingston, New Jersey, exclud-
ing supervisory Aid clerical employees, constitute a unit appropriate
for the purposes of collective bargaining within the meaning of Sec-
tion 9 (b) of the National Labor Relations Act.
CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVES
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, Sections 8 and 9,
of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series
2, as amended,
