PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED 109In another case, the Board found that the respondent had engagedin unfair labor practices through the discharge and lay-offsof a number of employees, but dismissed the allegation of discriminationas to four other employees. The Board ordered the respondentto place these four employees upon a preferential list because" * * * in view of the respondent's unfair labor practices asset forth * * * above, there is grave danger that the respondentwill not reemploy these four individuals even if their former or substantiallyequivalent positions are open. In order to effectuate thepolicies of the Act, we will require the respondent to place [thesefour employees] * * * upon -a preferential list for employmentas it arises." 67IR REQUIREMENTS THAT AN EMPLOYER PUBLICIEE TERMS OF BOARD ORDERS AMONGEMPLOYEESThe Board requires an employer who has engaged in unfair laborpractices to publicize the terms of the Board order against himamong his employees." The exact wording of the notice which theemployer is ordered to post in his place of business or to communicateto individual employees necessarily varies somewhat from case -to case. Although the Board formerly required that posted noticesremain posted for at least 30 consecutive days, 69 the period nownormally required is 60 days."I.
