The applicant union applied for certification for a bargaining unit consisting solely of employees at the respondent's Plastics plant.
The respondent argued that the appropriate unit should also include employees at its nearby Films plant.
The Board applied the Usarco criteria and found a substantial community of interest between the two plants, noting similar skills, identical wage structures, and a single personnel department.
The Board concluded that a single-plant unit would result in undue fragmentation and determined that the broader municipal-wide unit was appropriate.
As the union did not have the requisite support in the broader unit, the application was dismissed.
