DECISION
DYER, 	Member: 	This 	case comes before the 	Public Employment
Relations 	Board 	(Board) 	on appeal 	by the 	International Union of
Operating Engineers, 	Craft Maintenance Division, 	Unit 	12 	(IUOE)
of 	a Board agent's 	dismissal 	of 	their unfair practice 	charge.
On June 	5, 	2000, 	IUOE requested that 	it be permitted to
withdraw 	the 	underlying unfair practice 	charge.
After reviewing the 	record 	in this 	case, 	including the
appeal 	and the 	issues 	involved therein, 	the Board finds 	that 	such
a withdrawal 	is 	in the best 	interests 	of 	the parties 	and 	is

consistent with the purposes 	of 	the 	Ralph C. 	Dills Act 	(Dills
Act).1
ORDER
It 	is hereby ORDERED that 	the 	unfair practice 	charge 	and
appeal 	in Case No. 	SA-CE-1255-S 	are hereby WITHDRAWN WITH
PREJUDICE.
Members Amador and Baker 	joined 	in this 	Decision.
