That Petition seeks to amend a Certification of Representative issued to Housestaff Organization of College of Medicine and Dentistry on May 22, 1974, with respect to a negotiations unit that includes physicians and dentists titled intern, residents and fellow employed by the College of Medicine and Dentistry, but excluding all full-time teaching and/or research faculty and all part-time teaching and/or research faculty who are employed at 50% or more of full-time by the College and all supervisors as defined in the Act.

The Housestaff Organization has also properly demonstrated that there is a continuity of unit composition since the affiliation vote, and further, that officers have continued in their respective roles since the affiliation. By letter dated December 1, 1978, the College of Medicine and Dentistry, through the State Office of Employee Relations, indicated that it has no objection to the proposed Amendment of Certification provided that the Petitioner has met the Commission's requirements for such amendment.
