Opinion by

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, District Council 47, AFL-CIO (AFSCME) appeals a Philadelphia County Common Pleas Court order which granted the City of Philadelphia’s (City) preliminary objections and dismissed AFSCME’s complaint in equity with prejudice. We affirm.

Lloyd Chambliss, a City Area Youth Worker, was discharged for abandoning his position. AFSCME and the City, pursuant to their collective bargaining agreement, proceeded to binding arbitration to decide his employee grievance. An arbitrator ordered reinstatement without back pay. The City requested Chambliss *113to take a physical examination before reinstatement. He refused and filed a complaint seeking an unqualified job reinstatement with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB).

A hearing examiner, citing several PLRB decisions,1 held that Chambliss did not have standing as an individual to file a Section 1201(a)(5)2 unfair practice charge. Further, the examiner dismissed AFSCMEs petition to intervene as untimely.

AFSCME then turned to the common pleas court and filed the instant complaint in equity seeking to have Chambliss reinstated. The City filed preliminary objections contending that exclusive jurisdiction for the enforcement of arbitration awards resides with the PLRB. The trial court agreed and dismissed this action on the basis of this Courts decision in Alliston v. City of Allentown, 71 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 321, 455 A.2d 239 (1983), remanded, 504 Pa. 349, 473 A.2d 1016 (1984).

*114We agree with the trial courts conclusion that the instant case falls squarely within the parameters delineated in Alliston. In Alliston, former Allentown city employees attempted to enforce an arbitration award in the common pleas court. The trial court declined to accept jurisdiction and this Court affirmed, holding

that the legislatures mandate that the PLRB has exclusive jurisdiction in the prevention and enforcement of unfair labor practices . . . preclude the common pleas court from exercising jurisdiction over this proceeding.

Id. at 328, 455 A.2d at 243 (emphasis in original).3

The employees appealed our Alliston decision to the Supreme Court which, in a per curiam order without opinion, remanded the matter to the arbitrator for clarification of the award.

On the basis of that Supreme Court order, AFSCME argues that our legal conclusion has been reversed and contends that jurisdiction of Chambliss’ grievance resides with the common pleas court. We disagree.

The Supreme Court has consistently held that, for purposes of enjoining an arguably unfair labor practice, jurisdiction of the grievance resides in the PLRB. Hollinger v. Department of Public Welfare, 469 Pa. 358, 365 A.2d 1245 (1976). By remanding to the arbitrator for clarification and not issuing any enforcement orders to the employer, we believe that the Supreme Court order in Alliston preserved the exclusive jurisdiction of the PLRB as found in Section 1301 of the Public Employe Relations Act.4

*115In the instant case, the starting point for inquiry is whether the dispute between Chambliss and the City involves an arguably unfair labor practice. We believe that this matter constitutes such a dispute and hold that the proper forum for resolution of that issue is with the PLRB.

Finding no error of law, we affirm the common pleas court order.

Order

The Philadelphia County Common Pleas Court order, No. 249 dated September 24, 1985, is affirmed.
