ORDER OF ENFORCEMENT

The National Labor Relations Board petitioned for the enforcement of its order against Robert E. Anderson and Richard E. Anderson, copartners, d/b/a Anderson Cabinets. The Board's decision and order are reported at 241 NLRB No. 72, 100 L.R.R.M. 1606 (1979). After a careful review of the record, we are convinced that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the Board's finding that Robert Rhyneer was a supervisory employee and that the employer violated § 8(a) (5) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 158(a) (5), by preparing, circulating and filing a petition seeking to decertify the Carpenters District Council of Greater St. Louis, AFL-CIO, and by withdrawing recognition from the Carpenters in reliance upon this employer-sponsored petition.

There is also substantial evidence in the record to support the Board's finding that the Company violated § 8(a) (3) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 158(a) (3), by discharging Floyd Wildhaber who participated in a strike of the Carpenters against the Company in protest of the unlawful withdrawal of recognition and that it violated § 8(a) (1) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 158(a) (1), by various acts of interference.

Accordingly, we enforce the Board's order.
