One of the purposes of the Railway Labor Act (RLA) is to effectuate employees' rights
to self-organization in the air and rail industries. The RLA provides that employees shall
have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own
choosing. It is the National Mediation Board's (NMB) duty to resolve any disputes
among employees as to who are their collective bargaining representatives. The NMB
investigates these disputes, ensuring peaceful resolutions without disruption to
interstate commerce. The NMB investigates representation disputes in the railroad,
commuter railroad, and airline industries only.
