National Labor Relations Board v. Autotronics, Inc.

PER CURIAM.

Finding substantial evidence from the record as a whole, we grant enforcement of the Board’s order against Autotronics, Inc. arising from the company’s violations of § 8(a) (1) and § 8(a) (5) and (1) of the National Labor Relations Act.

It is alleged by way of answer to the Board’s application for enforcement of its order that the company has undergone Chapter XI pi'oceedings in the district court and that new ownership and management have resulted. This fact does not alter this court’s jurisdiction to review the merits of the Board’s order or to consider enforcement of it. Southport Petroleum Co. v. NLRB, 315 U.S. 100 , 62 S.Ct. 452 , 86 L.Ed. 718 (1942). The Board may, if necessary, consider in a subsequent proceeding whether it is impossible for the employer against whom the Board’s order now runs to comply with enforcement. Cf. NLRB v. Aircraft Engineering Corp., 419 F.2d 1303, 1304 (8 Cir. 1970). And see Cap Santa Vue, Inc. v. NLRB, 137 U.S.App.D.C. 395 , 424 F.2d 883 (1970); NLRB v. Kostilnik, 405 F.2d 733 (3 Cir. 1969); Webb Tractor & Equip. Co., 181 N.L.R.B. No. 39 (1970).
