Executive Order 13248 of December 20, 2001
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a
Dispute Between United Airlines, Inc., and its
Mechanics and Related Employees Represented by the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers
A dispute exists between United Airlines, Inc., and its
employees represented by the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the
provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45
U.S.C. 151-188) (the “Act”).
In the judgment of the National Mediation Board, this
dispute threatens substantially to interrupt interstate
commerce to a degree that would deprive sections 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 sections 10 and 201 of the Act
(45 U.S.C. 160 and 181), it is hereby ordered as
follows:
Section 1. Establishment of the Board (Board). There is
established, effective December 21, 2001, a Board of
three members to be appointed by the President to
investigate and report on this dispute. No member may
be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any
organization of airline employees or any air 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 this 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 submitted its
report to the President, no change in the conditions
out of which the dispute arose shall be made by the
parties to the controversy, except by the agreement of
the parties.
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 section 2 of
this order.
