The applicant trade union sought certification for a bargaining unit of circulation and mailing room employees at the respondent's newspaper.
The parties agreed on the description of the departmental bargaining unit.
The Board noted its historical practice of deferring to the agreement of parties in the newspaper industry regarding departmental units, provided they are not patently irrational or unworkable.
Finding no reason to disregard the agreement and being satisfied with the membership evidence, the Board found the unit appropriate and granted the certificate.
