National Mediation Board: An Examination of the Rail & Airline Labor Relations Agency

A small federal agency, NMB facilitates labour relations in two key transportation sectors – railroads and airlines – through mediation and arbitration of labour disputes and overseeing union elections. Established under the Railway Labor Act, NMB’s primary responsibility is to prevent work stoppages in these critical industries. This book discusses the national mediation board’s strengthening plan and control to better facilitate rail and air labour relations.
