ON PETITION TO REVIEW AND CROSS-PETITION TO ENFORCE AN ORDER OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

This case is before the court upon a petition to review and set aside the order of the National Labor Relations Board reported at 191 N.L.R.B. No. 1. The Board has filed a cross application for enforcement of its order.

Disagreeing with the trial examiner, the Board concluded that the company engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of § 8(a)(1) and § 2(6) and (7) of the Act, by interfering with its employees' freedom of choice in selecting a bargaining representative. The Board set aside the election conducted on May 20, 1970, and directed that a second election be held.

Reference is made to the published decision of the Board for a recitation of relevant facts.

This court concludes that the decision of the Board is supported by substantial evidence upon the record considered as a whole. Universal Camera Corp. v. N.L.R.B., 340 U.S. 474, 71 S.Ct. 456, 95 L.Ed. 456 (1951); N.L.R.B. v. Delight Bakery, Inc., 353 F.2d 344 (6th Cir. 1965).

It is ordered that the decision of the Board be enforced.
