Direction of Election is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting review.1

1 Member Miscimarra and Member Johnson would grant review for the sole purpose of
permitting Board review of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, 357 NLRB No. 79
(2011), relied upon by the Acting Regional Director, where a two-member Board
majority held that modified acute care hospital bargaining units need not conform to the
Board’s rule regarding acute care hospital bargaining units when an Armour-Globe self-
determination election may add certain unrepresented employees to an existing non-
conforming unit that pre-dated the Board’s rule. However, in the absence of a three-
member majority to reconsider that precedent, which controls disposition of this case,
they agree to deny review.
