A decertification petition, which is properly filed in established unit and contains requisite proof of support, shall be given priority over a unit modification petition, so long as no formal determination on the merits of the unit modification petition have been made at the time the decertification petition is filed; p. 8. As record is insufficient to allow Board to make any determination of status of certain employees in decertification petition, Board remands issue to regional office; p. 11. As issue voted on by employees was identical to that which would have been presented by a decertification election alone, Board finds that employees were not misled or otherwise affected by the appearance on the ballot of the unit configuration question. Therefore, no new election ordered; pp. 10-11. election ordered; pp. 10-11.
