No statement of desire to make representations has been filed with the Board within the time fixed by the Board following the taking of the representation vote pursuant to the Board's direction of February 8, 2000.
Subsequent to the representation vote, the parties agreed to the description of the appropriate bargaining unit. Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board finds the following bargaining unit to be appropriate for collective bargaining:

A certificate will issue to the applicant.
The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30-day period.
