§ 151a. General purposes
The purposes of the chapter are: (1) To avoid any interruption to commerce or to the operation of any carrier engaged therein; (2) to forbid any limitation upon freedom of association among employees or any denial, as a condition of employment or otherwise, of the right of employees to join a labor organization; (3) to provide for the complete independence of carriers and of employees in the matter of self-organization to carry out the purposes of this chapter-, (4) to provide for the prompt and orderly settlement of all disputes concerning rates of pay, rules, or working conditions; (5) to provide for the prompt and orderly settlement of all disputes growing out of grievances or out of the interpretation or application of agreements covering rates of pay, rules, or working conditions.
this is a paragraph from the Railway Labor Act........
Can someone please explain what "prompt" means in (4) and (5) above.
UPS went 6 years of negotiations......we've been at it for 3 years. Prompt?
I think it's prudent that ALL airline labor organizations converge on Washington and demand Congress change the Act to more level playing field. Labor should withhold political contributions, as leverage, to amend the ACT!
One change would be to monitarily penalize the carriers with a COLA wage adjustment per year during negotiations. This is similar to the wage adjustment included in the latest union proposal rejected by the company. I think this is absolutely required to move negotiations along. If this provision is incorporated into the act....I will assure a "Prompt" and orderly settlement.
The most challenging aspect of this idea is to get ALL the unions to withhold the paychecks to Congress!
