Bill > HJRes100

This Joint Resolution mandates that unresolved labor disputes between certain railroads, represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National Railway Labor Conference, and their employees, which threaten essential transportation services, will be resolved by making the most recent tentative agreements, side letters, and local carrier agreements binding on the parties involved, even if they were not ratified by union members. The Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) is a federal law designed to prevent labor disputes that could disrupt interstate commerce, and Presidential Emergency Board No. 250 was established under this act to investigate these specific disputes. This resolution aims to ensure the continuity of transportation services, which is considered vital for national security and health, by enacting these previously negotiated terms into law, while also allowing the parties to mutually agree to different terms in writing.
