National Mediation Board [PDF ebook] 
An Examination of the Rail and Airline Labor Relations Agency

A small federal agency, NMB facilitates labor relations in two key transportation sectors-railroads and airlines- through mediation and arbitration of labor disputes and overseeing union elections. Established under the Railway Labor Act, NMB’s primary responsibility is to prevent work stoppages in these critical industries. This book discusses the national mediation board’s strengthening plan and control to better facilitate rail and air labor relations.
