COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY

The writer has participated in hearings before emergency and arbitration boards established in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended. Out of this experience have come three observations with respect to labor relations in the railroad industry: first, the collective bargaining relationships are unusually complex; second, the popular belief that collective bargaining relationships have been mature and responsible is erroneous; third, in the past decade a number of serious strikes or threatened strikes have occurred. The last two observations naturally called for an explanation. The first observation made the answer only more difficult.
