Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We find that there is substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole to support the findings and conclusions of the Board that respondent violated § 8(a) (1) of the Act, 29 U.S. C.A. § 158(a) (1), through interrogation and promises of benefit to employees, and through threats, reprisals and surveillance of union organizational activity. Further, there is ample evidence to support the findings that the discharges of employees Davis, Bowen, Crook, Kight, Pararo, Hood, King, Stafford and Thompkins were motivated by antiunion purposes and were thus in violation of § 8(a) (3) and (1) of the Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 158(a) (1), (3). The evidence is also sufficient to support the finding that § 8(a) (5) and (1), 29 U.S.C.A. § 158(a) (1), (5), were violated by respondent’s refusal to hear a grievance and to bargain in good faith.

The order of the Board is thus due to be, and it will be

Enforced.
