  v.

Eastern Flatbed Systems, Inc.,
            Respondent.

             DECISION AND ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT
                    AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT

     This case arises under the employee protection provisions of
Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Act of 1982 (STAA), 49
U.S.C. §2305.
     On April 25, 1994, the parties reported that they had
reached a settlement (a copy of which is attached hereto and
marked as "Exhibit A").
     I have reviewed the settlement agreement and find it to be
fair, adequate and reasonable pursuant to 29 C.F.R.
§1978.111(d)(2). See Davis v. Kimstock, Inc., Case
No. 90-STA-8, Secretary Approval and Dismissal of Complaint,
November 30, 1980.  It is, therefore,
     ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof, is approved and this case
is hereby Dismissed With Prejudice.
                                   SO ORDERED


                                   RICHARD K. MALAMPHY
                                   Administrative Law Judge
