1

This is a petition for enforcement of a decision of the National Labor Relations Board finding the respondents in violation of section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act for unilaterally changing a work rule and terminating an employee for violating the newly-altered rule, for threatening the union steward with discharge because of her union activities and for refusing to employ two applicants following resumption of operations by the alter ego of their former employer. The decision of the Board is found at 277 N.L.R.B. No. 53 (1985).

2

Although the respondent Olmsted Cleaning Contractors, Inc. filed exceptions to the decision of the Administrative Law Judge, it has made no arguments on the merits in this court. Olmsted takes the position that the enforcement proceedings are moot because it has ceased operations. This is no defense to the Board's petition for enforcement of its order and decision.

3

Upon consideration, enforcement is hereby granted.
