AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATION

OF REPRESENTATIVE

On April 14, 1994, a Petition for Amendment of Certification was filed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 19:11-1.6 with the Public Employment Relations Commission by the Administrative Staff Negotiating Committee/Local 29, RWDSU. It seeks to amend a Certification of Representative to record its affiliation with Local 29, RWDSU, AFL-CIO.

On June 25, 1993, the Commission certified the Administrative Staff Negotiating Committee in case #RO-93-161 as the exclusive representative of all full-time and part-time, non-supervisory administrative employees, including the building maintenance foreman and police department maintenance worker

employed by the Borough of Tenafly. The unit excludes all confidential employees, managerial executives, supervisory employees, police employees, craft employees, Administrative Assistants to the Borough Administrator and Police Chief, Assistant Borough Clerk, Administrative Assistant/Assistant Zoning Officer, Assistant Recreation Director and all other employees employed by the Borough of Tenafly.

The Administrative Staff Negotiating Committee has demonstrated that its membership, upon proper advance notification and by secret ballot, voted 20 to 5 on April 11, 1994 to affiliate with Local 29, RWDSU.1/ The Administrative Staff Negotiating Committee has also demonstrated that there has been a continuity of union officers since the affiliation and that the size and scope of the negotiations unit are unchanged.

The Borough has advised us that it has no comments to offer regarding the petition; so it does not object to the proposed Amendment of Certification.

Therefore, in accordance with the Commission's Rules, the Certification of Representative is amended to reflect that the exclusive negotiations representative is now the Administrative Staff Negotiating Committee/Local 29, RWDSU, AFL-CIO.
