LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
During calendar year 1967, Standard Oil Com-
pany of California imported and sold in American
Samoa petroleum products from the United States
valued in excess of $500,000.
Petitioner seeks to represent a unit composed of
all employees of the Employer employed on the
island of American Samoa; excluding office clerical
employees, confidential employees, professional
employees, guards and/or watchmen, and super-
visors, as defined in the Act. The Employer has
moved that the petition be dismissed on the
grounds that the Act does not cover employees of
the Employer in American Samoa.
In a companion case, Star-Kist Samoa Inc., 172
NLRB No. 161, issued this date, we held that
American Samoa does not come within the jurisdic-
tion of the Act. Accordingly, we shall grant the Em-
ployer's motion and dismiss the petition.
ORDER
It is hereby ordered that the petition herein be,
and it hereby is, dismissed.
