See, e.g., NLRB v. Biscayne Television Corp., 337 F.2d 267, 268 (5th Cir.1964); Nabors v. NLRB, 323 F.2d 686, 690 (5th Cir.1963) cert. denied, 376 U.S. 911, 84 S.Ct. 666 , 11 L.Ed.2d 609 (1964); NLRB v. Columbia Tribune Publishing Co., 495 F.2d 1384, 1393 (8th Cir.1974). (Footnote omitted). Likewise, employees working under such an agreement are not entitled to lost future wages if the employer ceases operations. See, e.g., J.I. Case [Co. v. National Labor Relations Board, 321 U.S. 332 , 64 S.Ct. 576 , 88 L.Ed. 762 (1944)] supra; Fraser v.
