Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate
Disputes Between the Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority and Certain of Its Employees
Represented by Certain Labor Organizations
Disputes exist between the Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and certain of its
employees represented by certain labor organizations.
The labor organizations involved in these disputes are
designated on the attached list, which is made part of
this order.
The disputes heretofore have not been adjusted under
the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, 45
U. S. C. 151-188 (RLA).
A party empowered by the RLA has requested that the
President establish an emergency board pursuant to
section 9A of the RLA (45 U. S. C. 159a).
Section 9A(c) of the RLA provides that the President,
upon such request, shall appoint an emergency board to
investigate and report on the disputes.
NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, including section 9A of the RLA, it is
hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board (Board).
There is established, effective 12:01 a.m. eastern
daylight time on June 15, 2014, a Board of three
members to be appointed by the President to investigate
and report on these disputes. No member shall be
pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization
of railroad employees or any 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 disputes within 30 days of its
creation.
Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section
9A(c) of the RLA, for 120 days from the date of the
creation of the Board, no change in the conditions out
of which the disputes arose shall be made by the
parties to the controversy, except by 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.
