Text: 22 The standard of review when the Board finds a violation of sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(3) is well established. This court upholds the Board's findings of fact if they are supported by substantial evidence on the record viewed as a whole. NLRB v. Pentre Elec., Inc., 998 F.2d 363, 368 (6th Cir.1993); see also 29 U.S.C. § 160(e), (f); Universal Camera Corp. v. NLRB, 340 U.S. 474, 493, 71 S.Ct. 456, 467, 95 L.Ed. 456 (1951). We also review the Board's application of the law to the facts under the substantial evidence standard. See Pentre Elec., 998 F.2d at 368; NLRB v. Aquatech, Inc., 926 F.2d 538, 544 (6th Cir.1991). However, we review the Board's conclusions of law de novo. See NLRB v. Fluor Daniel, Inc., 102 F.3d 818, 826 (6th Cir.1996). If the Board errs in determining the proper legal standard, we may refuse enforcement on the grounds that the order has no 'reasonable basis in law.'  Pentre Elec., 998 F.2d at 368. 23
