(a) The sentence beginning at 654 F.2d at 1304, right column, line 13, originally reading:

We also conclude that unions may not picket or strike to enforce such agreements.

As so modified, the opinion is readopted.

3. The orders of the Board are enforced in their entirety. Judgment will be entered in accordance with Rule 29 of this Court.
