Before WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and PAYNE, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
The question presented is whether substantial evidence supports the National Labor Relations Board's determination that appellant Equitable Resources Exploration ("EREX") committed a number of unfair labor practices under §§ 8(a)(1), 8(a)(3), and 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act, codified at 29 U.S.C.ss 151 et seq. We have carefully reviewed the issues, studied the briefs and the record, and heard oral argument. We think that substantial evidence does support the NLRB's ruling. Accordingly, the petition for review is denied and the order of the National Labor Relations Board is
ENFORCED.
