Executive Order 13275 of October 7, 2002
Creating a Board of Inquiry To Report on Certain
Labor Disputes Affecting the Maritime Industry of the
United States
WHEREAS, there exists a labor dispute between, on the
one hand, employees represented by the International
Longshore and Warehouse Union and, on the other hand,
employers and the bargaining association of employers
who are (1) U.S. and foreign steamship companies
operating ships or employed as agents for ships engaged
in service to or from the Pacific Coast ports in
California, Oregon, and Washington, and (2) stevedore
and terminal companies operating at ports in
California, Oregon, and Washington; and
WHEREAS, such dispute has resulted in a lock-out that
affects a substantial part of the maritime industry, an
industry engaged in trade, commerce, transportation
(including the transportation of military supplies),
transmission, and communication among the several
States and with foreign nations; and
WHEREAS, a continuation of this lock-out, if permitted
to continue, will imperil the national health and
safety;
NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me
by section 206 of the Labor Management Relations Act,
1947 (61 Stat. 155; 29 U.S.C. 176) (the ``Act''), I
hereby create a Board of Inquiry consisting of such
members as I shall appoint to inquire into the issues
involved in such dispute.
The Board shall have powers and duties as set forth in
title II of the Act. The Board shall report to me in
accordance with the provisions of section 206 of the
Act no later than October 8, 2002.
Upon the submission of its report, the Board shall
continue in existence in order to perform any
additional functions under the Act, including those
functions set forth in section 209(b), but shall
terminate no later than upon completion of such
functions.
(Presidential Sig.)B
