WITHDRAWN DURING

INVESTIGATION

October 19, 1998

The services of the National Mediation Board (NMB) were invoked by the Communications Workers of America on September 18, 1998, to investigate and determine who may represent for the purposes of the Railway Labor Act, as provided by Section 2, Ninth, thereof, personnel described as "Passenger Service Agents," employees of American Eagle Airlines.

At the time this application was received, these employees were not represented by any organization or individual.

The Board assigned Mediator Gale L. Oppenberg to investigate.

Subsequently, Daniel M. Katz, Attorney for the Communications Workers of America, filed a letter with the NMB which stated, "[t]he Communications Workers of America (CWA) requests leave to withdraw without prejudice its application."

On the basis of this letter of withdrawal referred to above, the Board hereby dismisses the application and closed its file subject to Part 1206.4 of the NMB Rules.1 NMB File No. CR-6644 is converted to NMB Case No. R-6637 and dismissed.

By direction of the NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD.
