Plain-language summary
Establishes a three-member emergency board under section 9A of the Railway Labor Act to investigate labor disputes between Metro North Commuter Railroad and employees represented by a list of labor organizations, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, and several other unions. Board members may not have financial or other interests in any railroad carrier or railroad labor organization. The board must report to the President within 30 days of its creation, after which it terminates. For 120 days from the board's creation, neither the carrier nor the employees may change the conditions that gave rise to the disputes, except by mutual agreement. The board's records are treated as records of the Office of the President and, once the board dissolves, will be kept in the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.
