Explain the circumstances under which a U.S. president is allowed to intervene in a labor dispute between management and a union that has resulted in a strike.
The Railway Labor Act empowers the president of the United States to create a presidential emergency board if a railway or airline strike threatens prevent essential transportation service necessary for interstate commerce. The board has 30 days to investigate the dispute and issue a report that usually contains nonbinding recommendations for a settlement. The strike is allowed to proceed after 30 days.
In the private sector, Taft-Hartley allows the president to appoint a board of inquiry to investigate and report on disputed issues if a strike or threat of strike presents a danger to national health or safety. The president can seek a court-ordered injunction halting the strike or threatened strike for up to 80 days.
Similarly, in the health care sector the president is allowed to appoint a board of inquiry and halt a strike if it would substantially interrupt the delivery of health care in the locality concerned.
Finally, it is possible that the president could seize an operation to maintain production.
