AMENDMENT TO DECISION AND DIRECTION OF
ELECTIONS
November 10, 1937
On September 17, 1937, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision and Direction of Elections 1 in
the above entitled cases. The Direction of Elections directed that
elections be held among the unlicensed. seamen 2 employed on all types
of craft operating in or out of Atlantic and Gulf ports by the com-
panies named.
Since the issuance of this Decision, International Seamen's Union
of America, International Maritime Union of America, and a ma-
jority of the companies involved have requested the Board to amend
its Decision and Direction of Elections by excluding unlicensed sea-
men employed on craft operated in harbors only. International Sea-
men's Union had requested at the hearing that such employees be
excluded and substantially the same position had been taken by In-
ternational Longshoremen's Association, an intervenor in the hearing.
The Board having further considered the matter, in view of these
requests, hereby amends its Decision and Direction of Elections in
the above entitled cases by directing that unlicensed seamen employed
on craft operated in harbors only shall not be included in the elections
to be held in these cases.
