Unit Description: The Company recognized the Union as the eclusive bargaining agency (sic) for all its employees within the said bargaining unit when engaged in job classifications of work, as listed in Exhibit "A: attached hereto and made a part hereof. The parties did not prepare an "Exhibit A" to the current contract, but the previsous contract listed the following classifications: "B" Assembly Room Workers; "A" Assembly Room Worker; "B: Machine Shop Worker; "A" Machine Shop Workers; Lead Assembly Worker; Lead Machine Shop Worker; Sprayer; Shipping & Receiving; Quality Inspector; Stock Person; and Electrical Inspector/Technician. For decades, the parties have excluded individuals employd by a temporary agency from the bargaining unit, even when doing the same types of work as bargaining unit employees. In light of a recent arbitration award purporting to accrete certain of these individuals into the bargaining unit in contravention of this historical exclusion and without the consent of either Multi Electric or the temporary agency employing these individuals, Multi Electric requests that the Board clarify the unit to exclude all individuals employed by a temporary agency.
