Establishment of Emergency Board No. 218 To
Investigate a Railroad Labor Dispute
Establishing
an Emergency Board To Investigate a Dispute Between
the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation and Certain of Its Employees
Represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
A
dispute exists between the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation and certain
of its employees represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The
dispute has not heretofore been completely adjusted under the provisions of the
Railway Labor Act, as amended (the ``Act'').
A
party empowered by the Act has requested that the President establish an
emergency board pursuant to Section 9A of the Act (45 U.S.C. section
159a).
Section
9A(e) of the Act provides that the President, upon
such a request, shall appoint a second emergency board to investigate and
report on the dispute.
Now,
Therefore, by the authority vested in me by Section 9A
of the Act, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of
Board. There is established, effective
Sec. 2. Report. Within
30 days after creation of the board, the parties to the dispute shall submit to
the board final offers for settlement of the dispute. Within 30 days after
submission of final offers for settlement of the dispute, the board shall
submit a report to the President setting forth its selection of the most
reasonable offer.
Sec. 3. Maintaining
Conditions. As provided by Section 9A(h) of the
Act, from the time a request to establish a board is made until 60 days after
the board makes its report, no change, except by agreement, shall be made by
the parties in the conditions out of which the dispute arose.
Sec. 4. Expiration. The
board shall terminate upon the submission of the report provided for in Section
2 of this Order.
