JUDGMENT

This appeal was considered on the record compiled before the National Labor Relations Board and on the briefs of the parties. It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the petition for review be DENIED for the reasons stated in the Board’s opinions in Avante at Boca Raton, Inc., 323 NLRB 555 (1997), and Avante at Boca Raton, Inc., 334 NLRB No. 56 (2001). The Board acted within its discretion in certifying Local 1115 as the bargaining representative of some of Avante’s employees, and Local 1115’s subsequent affiliation with the Service Employees International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC did not relieve Avante of its duty to bargain with Local 1115.
