Title 3--
The President
Executive Order 12899 of February 15, 1994
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a
Dispute Between The Long Island Rail Road and Certain
of Its Employees Represented by the United
Transportation Union
A dispute exists between The Long Island Rail Road and
certain of its employees represented by the United
Transportation Union.
The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the
provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (the
``Act'').
A first emergency board to investigate the dispute was
established by Executive Order No. 12874 on October 20,
1993. The emergency board terminated upon issuance of
its report and, subsequently, its recommendations were
not accepted.
A party empowered by the Act has requested that the
President establish a second emergency board pursuant
to section 9A of the Act (45 U.S.C. 159a).
Section 9A(e) of the Act provides that the President,
upon such 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 the Board. There is
established, effective February 15, 1994, a board of
three members to be appointed by the President to
investigate this dispute. No member shall be interested
pecuniarily or otherwise in any organization of
railroad employees or any carrier. The board shall
perform its functions subject to the availability of
funds.
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, the parties shall make no changes in the
conditions out of which the dispute arose, except by
agreement.
Sec. 4. Expiration. The board shall terminate upon
submission of the report provided for in section 2 of
this order.
