On 11 December 1985, the Court, being fully advised of the premises, handed down its decision in which it granted enforcement of the Board's order in part, reversed in part and remanded the case to the Board for modification of its order such that it is consistent with the Court's decision and, in the discretion of the Board, for further proceedings with respect to the construction of the collective bargaining agreement in light of the common law of the shop.  In conformity therewith, it is hereby
