Executive Order 13004 of May 17, 1996
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate
Disputes Between Certain Railroads Represented by the
National Railway Labor Conference and Their- Employees
Represented by Certain Labor Organizations
Disputes exist between certain railroads represented by
the National Railway Labor Conference and their
employees represented by certain labor organizations.
The railroads and labor organizations involved in these
disputes are designated on the attached lists, which
are made a part of this order.
These disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under
the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45
U.S.C. 151 et seq.) (the ``Act'').
In the judgment of the National Mediation Board, these
disputes threaten substantially to interrupt interstate
commerce to a degree that would deprive a section of
the country of essential transportation service.
NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, including section 10 of the Act (45
U.S.C. 160), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board
(``Board''). There is established effective May 17,
1996, a Board of three members to be appointed by the
President to investigate the disputes. No member shall
be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any
organization of railroad employees or any railroad
carrier. The Board shall perform its functions subject
to the availability of funds.
Sec. 2. Report. The Board shall report to the President
with respect to the dispute within 30 days of its
creation.
Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section
10 of the Act, from the date of the creation of the
Board and for 30 days after the Board has made its
report to the President, no change, except by agreement
of the parties, shall be made by the railroads or the
employees in the conditions out of which the disputes
arose.
Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of
the Board are records of the Office of the President
and upon the Board's termination shall be maintained in
the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.
Sec. 5. Expiration. The Board shall terminate upon the
submission of the report provided for in sections 2 and
3 of this order.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
May 17, 1996.
