LAY, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I fully concur. I add only a word substantiating my concurrence as to part II of Judge Gibson’s opinion. I have always shared strong conviction that where an individual employee asserts a right found in a collective bargaining agreement it is reasonable to conclude that he is engaged in “concerted activity” protected under § 7 of the Act. See the historical development of this principle in Illinois Ruan Transport Corp. v. NLRB, 404 F.2d 274, 281, 284-290 (8 Cir. 1968) (dissenting opinion).
