of Labor Relations by the Municipal Employee Relations Act, it is hereby,

CERTIFIED, that the Connecticut Independent Labor Union (CILU) has been selected as
the representative for the purposes of collective bargaining by the majority of all full time
employees working twenty (20) or more hours per week performing secretarial, clerical and
bookkeeping work and also the school nurse. (Excluding employees covered by the Act
Concerning School Board Teacher Negotiations), and that said Connecticut Independent Labor
Union (CILU) is the exclusive representative of all said employees for the purposes of collective
bargaining in respect to wages, hours and other conditions of employment.
