________________________________)

     The prohibited practice complaint in the above-captioned matter
was filed on April 29, 1987, by LeRoy M. Lombard, a state employee,
within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A.  979-H(2) (Pamph. 1986).  On
April 30, 1987, pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A.  979-H(2) and Rule 4.06 of
the Board's Rules and Procedures, the Executive Director reviewed the
complaint and issued an order dismissing the same.  The contents of
said order are incorporated herein by reference.  On May 6, 1987, the
Complainant filed an appeal from the Executive Director's order of
dismissal seeking, in the alternative, reversal of said order or
amendment of the original complaint.

     A hearing on the Complainant's appeal was conducted by the Maine
Labor Relations Board ("Board"), Chairman Edward S. Godfrey presiding,
with Employer Representative Thacher E. Turner and Alternate Employee
Representative Vendean V. Vafiades, on June 10, 1987.  The complainant
appeared at the hearing pro se and the Respondent was represented by
Stephen P. Sunenblick, Esquire.  The parties were given full oppor-
tunity to examine and cross-examine witnesses, to present evidence,
and to make argument.

			     JURISDICTION

     The Complainant, LeRoy M. Lombard, is a state employee, within the
meaning of 26 M.R.S.A.  979-H(2).  The Respondent, American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 93, is
the certified bargaining agent, within the definition of 26 M.R.S.A.

				 -1-
			 
 979-A(1) (1975), for the State Employee Institutional Services
Bargaining Unit of which the Complainant is a member.  The jurisdic-
tion of the Board to hear this case and to render a decision and
order herein lies in 26 M.R.S.A.  979-H(2).

			      DISCUSSION

     For the purpose of reviewing the Executive Director's action, we
accept as true all allegations contained in the complaint.  Having
reviewed the complaint, as amended, and the Executive Director's order
of dismissal we conclude that, for the reasons set forth in paragraphs
4 and 5 of said order, it be affirmed.  The prohibited practice
complaint in Case No. 87-20 was, therefore, properly dismissed.

				ORDER

by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor
Relations Board by the provision of 26 M.R.S.A.  979-H(2)
