(A. F. L.),' herein called Lodge 1411, filed with the Regional Director
for the Seventh Region (Detroit., Michigan), a petition, and on April
7, 1939, filed an amended petition, alleging that a question affecting
commerce had arisen concerning the representation of employees of
General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Michigan, and requesting an
investigation and certification of representatives pursuant to Section
9 (c) of the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449, herein called
the Act. On July 7, 1939, Pattern Makers League of North America,
herein called the Pattern Makers, filed with the Regional Director
nine petitions 2 alleging that questions affecting commerce had arisen
concerning the representation of employees of the. Company at each of
nine of its plants-' On August 8, 1939, United Automobile Workers
of America, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, herein
called the A. F. L.-U. A. W., filed with the Regional Director a peti-
tion 4 alleging that such a question had arisen concerning the repre-
sentation of employees of the Company at 67 of its plants. On
September 26, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called
the Board, directed an investigation and authorized the Regional
Director'to conduct it and to provide for an appropriate hearing upon
due notice.5 Thereafter, on October 10, 1939, International Union,
United Automobile Workers of America, affiliated with the Congress
of Industrial Organizations, herein called the C. 1. O.-U. A. W., filed
with the Regional Director for the Seventh Region a petition, and
on December,1 and December 16, 1939, filed amended petitions, alleg-
ing that a question affecting commerce had arisen concerning the
representation of employees of the Company at 65 of its plants. Each
petition requested an investigation and certification of representatives
pursuant to Section 9 (c) of the Act..'
, This organization is thus designated on the stipulation to which it is a party, although
it is designated in its petition as Local 141], International Association of Machinists
(A. F. L.).
2On November 29, 1939, the Pattern Makers filed two amended petitions.
3On July 14, 1939, the Company filed a petition for. investigation and certification of
representatives. On September 26. 3939, the Board dismissed this petition because it was
not in conformity with the requirements of the Board's Rules and Regulations, and also
because the labor organizations involved had tiled petitions, upon which the Board had, on
September 26, 19,19, directed an investigation and hearing.
* On the same date A. F. L.-U. A. W. also filed a petition, which was subsequently with-
drawn, covering 32 plants located within the Board's Seventh Region, all of which are
included in its petition covering 67 plants.
'By its order of September 26, 1939, the Board also transferred one case from the Sec-
ond to the Seventh Region, and consolidated several of the cases. On January 3 and
February 2, 1940, the Board issued further orders.directing investigations and severing,
transferring, and consolidating cases.
'International Union of Operating Engineers, Local Unions #30 and #30-A, herein
called the Operating Engineers, also filed a.petition alleging that a question affecting com-
merce had arisen concerning the representation of employees at one of the Company's
plants. The Operating Engineers later requested leave to withdraw its petition, which the
Board granted. Petitions were also filed by, Mechanics Educational Society of America.
herein called the M. E. S. A.,, and by United Aircraft Engine Workers. Inc., herein called
the U. A. E. R': These cases were originally consolidated with other cases herein for pur-
poses of hearing, but on February 2, 1940, were severed by the Board and continued as
separate proceedings.
952 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
On January 12, 1940, the Regional Director issued a notice of hear-
ing, copies of which were duly served upon the Company, the
A. F. L.-U. A. W., the C. I. O.-U. A. W., the Pattern Makers, and
Lodge 1411.7
On January 30, 1940, Lodge 1217, International Association of
Machinists, affiliated with the National Die Sinkers Conference
(A. F. L.), herein called Lodge 1217, filed with the Regional Director
a petition for permission to intervene in the proceeding with respect
to one plant. On January 30 the Regional Director issued an order
permitting such intervention. On February 17, 1940,.after the hear-
ing had closed upon stipulation entered into by all -the parties, there
was :docketed -at the Board's Washington office by the Fisher Body
Union of Cleveland a motion to intervene with respect to employees
of the Company employed at the Fisher Body Division in Cleveland,,
Ohio. The Board hereby denies this motion to intervene for the
reason that it was not timely filed.8
Pursuant to the notice, a hearing was held on January 30, February
1, 5, 8, and 13, 1940, at Detroit, Michigan, before Horace A. Ruckel,
the Trial Examiner duly designated by the Board. The Board, the
Company, the A. F. L.-U. A. W., the C. I. O.-U. A. W., the Pattern
Makers, Lodge 1411, Lodge 1217, the Operating Engineers, the
M..E. S. A., and the Metal Polishers were represented by counsel.
At the hearing requests were filed by the Pattern Makers for leave
to withdraw one of its petitions, by the A. F. L.-U. A. W. for leave
to withdraw its petition in so far as it included five plants, and
by the. C. I. -O.-U. A. W. for leave to withdraw its petition in so far
as it included three plants. The Board granted these'requests.
On February 13, 1940, the Company, the A. F. L.-U. A. W., the
C. I. O.-U. A. W., the Pattern Makers, Lodge 1411, and Lodge 1217
entered into a stipulation as to certain of the issues involved in this
Copies of the notice of hearing were also served upon the Operating Engineers, the
M. E. S. A. and the U. A. E. W., whose cases have been withdrawn or severed as appears
in footnote 5 above. Copies were also served upon International Union, Metal Polishers,
Buffers, Platers and Helpers, herein called the Metal Polishers , Christian Labor Asso-
ciation of the --United States , and United Electrical , Radio and Machine Workers of
America, organiza-tions deemed to have an interest in the investigation.
8 Motions to intervene were also filed by A. F. L.-U. A. W. with respect to three plants
not included in its petition , but included in the petition of the C. I. O.-U. A. W., and by
the Pattern Makers with respect to two plants not included in its petitions . but included
in the petition of the C. I. O.-U. A. W. These motions were granted. The Board also
granted a motion to intervene filed by Christian Labor Association of the United States
and United Christian Metal Workers, Local No. 52, affiliated with Christian Labor Asso-
elation of the United States, with respect to employees of the Company employed at the
Fisher Plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan , one of the plants included by the A. F. L.-
U. A. W. in its petition . The A . F. L.-U. A. W. subsequently withdrew its petition in so far
as it related to five plants , including the Fisher Plant at Grand Rapids , Michigan. The
Board accordingly revoked its order directing investigation and hearing as to this plant.
Such revocation ended the intervention of the Christian Labor Association of the United
States and 'United Christian Metal workers, Local No. 52, affiliated with Christian Labor
Association of the United States.

proceeding, which was introduced- in. evidence as Board Exhibit
No. 24. The Board hereby approves this stipulation.
Upon-the basis of this stipulation and the entire record, in the. cases,-
the Board snakes the following :
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY'
General Motors Corporation is a Delaware corporation, engaged,
among other things, in the manufacture and assembly of automobiles,
parts and accessories thereof, Diesel engines, and aircraft motors.
Its principal business offices are located in the City of New York, and
it also maintains offices in Detroit, Michigan. It maintains plants in
California,. Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mis-
souri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
During 1939 the Company manufactured and sold, among other things,
more than 1,000,000 motor vehicles and trucks. The Company em-
ploys an aggregate of approximately 150,000 hourly rate factory em-
ployees. A substantial proportion of the raw materials, exceeding
25 per cent in value at practically every manufacturing and assembly
plant of the Company, is obtained from sources outside the State in
which the respective plant is located. Most of' the products of each
plant are either shipped to points outside the State in which such
plant is located, or are delivered to another plant of the Company
within the same State for incorporation in completed automobiles,,
which in turn, to, a substantial proportion, are shipped outside the
State or are sold to General Motors Sales Corporation, a wholly
owned subsidiary. of the Company, at the place of completion, and
then shipped by the Sales Corporation outside the State in a substantial
proportion.
In addition to its manufacturing and assembly plants, the Company
maintains the Chevrolet Experimental Laboratory at Hamtramck,
Michigan, where it is engaged in the development of automobiles;
research laboratories at Detroit, Michigan, where it is engaged in the
production of experimental apparatus and machinery; a. Styling Sec-
tion at Detroit, Michigan, where it is engaged in the development of
automobile styling; a proving ground at Milford, Michigan, at which
it tests automobiles; a garage known as Fisher No. 40 at Detroit,
Michigan, for the storage of trucks engaged in the movement of the
Company's materials and property, which trucks are used at times to
move materials and property to and from places in Ohio and Michi-
9 The facts set forth in this section are taken from a stipulation entered into by counsel
for the Board and the Company on February 1, 1940, and introduced in evidence as Board
Exhibit No. 20. 0

gan; a 'die-development department known as Fisher 27-6 in Detroit,
Michigan, at which it is engaged in developing dies for Fisher Body
Division of the Company; and an operation known as Fisher 49 in
Detroit, Michigan, where it is engaged in crating, boxing, and packing
body parts and other materials, which are shipped for use at auto-
mobile plants owned by subsidiaries of the Company in foreign
countries.
II. THE ORGANIZ ATIONS INVOLVED
International Union, United Automobile Workers of America, af-
filiated with the American Federation of Labor, is a labor organiza-
tion, which admits to membership production and maintenance
employees of the Company.
International Union, United Automobile Workers of America, af-
filiated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, is a labor
organization, which admits to membership production and main-
tenance employees of the Company.
The Pattern Makers League of North America, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, is a labor organization, which admits
to membership pattern makers and model makers employed by the
Company.
Lodges 1411 and 1217, International Association of Machinists, af-
filiated with the National Die Sinkers Conference and with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, are labor organizations, which admit to
membership die sinkers employed by the company at the Buick Motor
Division Plant and at the Chevrolet Motor Division Forge Plant,
respectively.
III. THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION
Each union which was a party to the stipulation of February 13,
1940, claims to represent a majority of the employees in each of the
respective voting groups as to which we hereinafter direct that an
election shall be held with that union's name on the ballot. Each
such union has made demands upon the Company for the right to
bargain exclusively for the employees of the Company within such
respective groups, and its demands have been refused.
We find that questions have arisen concerning the representation of
employees of the Company.
IV. THE EFFECT OF THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION UPON
COMMERCE
We find that the questions concerning representation which have
arisen, occuring in connection with the operations of the Company de-
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION 955
scribed in Section I above, have a close, intimate, and substantial
relation to trade, traffic, and commerce among the several States, and
tend to lead to labor disputes burdening and obstructing commerce
and the free flow of commerce.
V. THE APPROPRIATE UNITS AND THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES
In the stipulation signed on February 13, 1940, the parties agreed
that the appropriate unit for collective bargaining with the Company
is the plant or group of related buildings or plants operating under
a common local resident manager in the same local community, pro-
ducing similar or related products, or craft subdivisions within each
plant as may be selected by'the employees therein.10 The parties fur-
ther agreed that those classifications of employees claimed respec-
tively by the Pattern Makers, Lodge 1411, and Lodge 1217 should be
allowed to determine whether or not they desire to bargain as separate
craft units.
At the hearing none of the unions offered evidence in support of
their representation claims. In the stipulation they agreed that elec=
tions be held among all the employees in question. We find that the
questions concerning representation which have arisen can best be
resolved by elections by secret ballot pursuant to the stipulation of
the parties. Upon the results of the elections will depend our deter-
mination of appropriate units, in the manner set forth below.
A. The pattern makers
Pursuant to the stipulation, we shall direct that separate elections
be held among all wood pattern makers and model makers, working
on bench or machine (but not shaper hands), metal pattern makers
working on bench or machine, model and pattern checkers; keller
model set-up men, and the apprentices of these classifications (but not
supervisory or salaried employees and those whose work is of a con-
fidential nature), who are in the employ, or on the seniority list, of the
Company in each of the plants named in Schedule A attached hereto,
during the pay period in which March 1, 1940, falls, separate elec-
tions to be held in each of the said plants to determine whether said
10 The parties also stipulated that after the Board had determined the bargaining units
in accordance with the ,stipulation of the parties , and had certified the exclusive bargain-
ing.agents in those plants with respect to which such certification should issue , the Indus-
trial Relations Staff of the Company would negotiate collectively with the officers of the
International Union certified as the exclusive bargaining agent for those plants for which
the International Union had been certified as the exclusive bargaining agent and on such
issues as are common to all plants for which such International Union had been certified
as the exclusive bargaining agent . It was further stipulated that in the event that the
Board accepted the stipulation in its entirety , and based its findings and order thereon,
the parties to the stipulation would not petition for any rehearing of this case on the issue
of the appropriate bargaining units involved herein.
956 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
employees desire to be represented by the Pattern,: Makers, by the
C. I. O.-U. A. W., or by neither.
If a majority of the said employees in any plant named in Schedule:
A chooses the- Pattern Makers, thus indicating their preference for
separate representation, said employees in each such plant shall con-
stitute a, separate appropriate bargaining unit; if a majority of said
employees in any plant named in Schedule A chooses the C. I. 0.-
U. A. W., said employees in each such plant shall constitute a sepa-
rate appropriate bargaining unit, provided, however, that if a ma-
jority of the production and maintenance employees in such plant
also chooses the C. I. O.-U. A. W., then the employees in such craft
shall become a part of the larger unit.
B. The die sinkers
Further pursuant to the stipulation, we shall direct that separate
elections be held among all impression die sinkers employed in the
manufacture or maintenance of dies used to complete forgings, the
said employees to include die sinkers on bench, mill, lathe, and other
machines; trim die makers; keller-men; edgermen and edger grinders;
upset die men; and turning impression men (but not supervisory or
salaried employees and those employees whose work is of a confiden
tial nature) who of all of the foregoing were in the employ, or on
the seniority list, of the Buick Motor Division Plant, Flint, Michigan,
or the Chevrolet Motor Division Forge Plant, Detroit, Michigan, as
the case may be, during the pay period in which January 1, 1940, fell,
to determine whether they desire to be represented by Lodge 1411 or
Lodge 1217, as the case may be, by the C. I. O.-U. A. W., or by neither.
If a majority of the said employees of the Buick Motor Division
Plant chooses Lodge 1411, thus indicating their preference for separate
representation, said employees shall constitute a separate appropriate
bargaining unit; if a majority of said employees of the Buick Motor
Division Plant chooses the C. I. O.-U. A. W., said employees in said
plant shall constitute a separate appropriate bargaining unit, pro-
vided, however, that if a majority of the production and maintenance
employees in the Buick Motor Division Plant also chooses the C. I. 0,
U. A. W., then the employees in such craft shall become a part of the
larger unit.
If a majority of the said employees of Chevrolet Motor Division
Forge Plant chooses Lodge 1217, thus indicating their preference
for separate representation, said employees shall constitute a sepa-
rate appropriate bargaining unit; if a majority of said employees of
the Chevrolet Motor Division Forge Plant chooses the C. I. 0,
U. A. W., said employees in said plant shall constitute a separate
appropriate bargaining unit, provided, however, that if a majority
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION .957
of the production and maintenance employees in the Chevrolet Motor
Division Forge Plant also chooses the C. I. O.-U. A. W., then the
employees in such craft shall become a part of "the larger unit.
C. The plant 2lnzits
Further pursuant to the stipulation, we shall direct that separate
elections be held among all production and maintenance employees,
and mechanical employees in engineering department shops, who are
employed by the Company, in each of the plants enumerated in
Schedule B attached hereto, who were in the employ, or on the
seniority list, of the plants named in Schedule B, during the pay
period in which January 1, 1940, fell, excluding, however, the pat-
tern makers and die sinkers afore-mentioned, direct representatives
of the management, such as officers and directors of the Company,
sales managers and assistant sales managers, factory managers and
assistant factory managers, directors and employees of sales, account-
ing, personnel and industrial relations departments, directors of
purchases and assistant directors of purchases, superintendents and
assistant superintendents, general foremen, foremen and assistant
foremen, and all other persons working in a supervisory capacity,
including those having the right to hire or discharge and those whose
duties include recommendation as to hiring or discharging (but not
leaders), and those employees whose work is of a confidential nature,
time-study men, plant-protector employees (but not to include
maintenance patrolmen or fire patrolmen), all clerical employees,
chief engineers and shift-operating engineers in power plants,
designing (drawing board), production estimating and planning
engineers, draftsmen and detailers, physicists, chemists, metallurgists,
artists, designer-artists and clay and plaster modelers (but not those
who make patterns), timekeepers, technical school students, inden-
tured apprentices, and those technical or professional employees who
are receiving special training, kitchen and cafeteria help, to deter-
mine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O.-U. A. W.,
by the A. F. L.-U. A. W., or by neither.
All such employees," respectively, at each individual plant listed
in Schedule B in which the majority of such employees chooses the
A. F. L.-U. A. W. shall constitute a single unit appropriate for the
purposes of collective bargaining.
All such employees,12 respectively, at each individual plant listed

"The stipulation as to the plant units describes the "respective individual plants" as
separate units. Our determination of the scope of the respective appropriate units, how-
ever, will proceed on the assumption that in stipulating inclusions and exclusions for
voting purposes , the parties intended also to define the limits of the respective plant units,
subject, in the case of each plant, to the results of the election or elections.
