The National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") applies to this court for summary entry of judgment enforcing its order dated May 3, 1990, in Case No. 8-CA-20799, against the Respondent, Patricia J. Pikus, Inc., d/b/a Tarantino's, Inc., its officers, agents, successors, and assigns.  By letter dated November 30, 1990, David Tarantino requested an extension of time to respond to the Board's application.  He stated such an extension was necessary to obtain the services of new counsel.  An extension of time was granted until January 22, 1991.  To date, the court has received no further communications from the respondent or its representatives.

It therefore is ORDERED that the application for summary entry of judgment is granted.  The Respondent, Patricia J. Pikus, Inc., d/b/a Tarantino's, Inc., its officers, agents, successors, and assigns, shall:

1. Cease and desist from:

(a) Unilaterally failing and refusing to make contributions to the Union fringe benefit funds when it is required to do so by law.

(d) In any like or related manner interfering with, restraining or coercing its employees in the exercise of their rights guaranteed by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (hereinafter called the Act).

2. Take the following affirmative action which the Board has found necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act:

11
(a) Reimburse the Union fringe benefit funds for all payments due and owing from October, 1988 through June, 1989, including penalties and interest.

12
(b) Offer Gus Kish and Loren Klimko full and immediate reinstatement to their former jobs, or if those jobs no longer exist, to substantially equivalent positions of employment without prejudice to their seniority rights or other rights or privileges and make them whole for any loss of pay or benefits suffered as a result of the discrimination against them, in the manner described in the "Remedy" section of the Administrative Law Judge's Decision.

13
(c) Preserve and upon request, make available to the Board or its agents for examination and copying, all payroll records, social security payment records, timecards, personnel records and reports, and all other records necessary to analyze the amount of money owed to the Union's fringe benefit funds or backpay due under the terms of this Judgment.

14
(d) Post at its place of business in Cleveland, Ohio, copies of the notice marked "Appendix."

Reasonable steps shall be taken by the Respondent to ensure that the notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material.
