For example, where the Board petitions to enforce its order requiring a remedial notice to be posted, the Board has an independent interest at stake even if the employee involved in the suit quits the company or dies. See, e.g., Dep’t of Justice v. FLRA, 144 F.3d 90, 95 (D.C. Cir. 1998); Dep’t of Justice v. FLRA, 991 F.2d 285, 289 (5th Cir. 1993); NLRB v. Methodist Hosp. of Gary, Inc., 733 F.2d 43, 48 (7th Cir. 1984), The Board’s orders impose continuing obligations that do not cease when the particular offending conduct ends. See NLRB v. Raytheon Co., 398 U.S. 25, 27, 90 S.Ct. 1547, 26 L.Ed.2d 21 (1970); see also Dep’t of Justice, 144 F.3d at 95 (<HOLDING>). Similarly, where a union challenges a Board
