Executive Order 11276—Creating an Emergency Board to Investigate Disputes Between the Carriers Represented by the Five Carriers Negotiating Committee and Certain of Their Employees

April 21, 1966

WHEREAS disputes exist between the air carriers represented by the Five Carriers Negotiating Committee, designated in List A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, and certain of their employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, a labor organization; and

WHEREAS these disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended; and

WHEREAS these disputes, in the judgment of the National Mediation Board, threaten substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive the country of essential transportation service:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 160), I hereby create a board of three members, to be appointed by me, to investigate these disputes. No member of the board shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization of airline employees or in any air carrier.

The board shall report its findings to the President with respect to the disputes within thirty days from the date of this order.

As provided by section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, from this date and for thirty days after the board has made its report to the President, no change, except by agreement, shall be made by the carriers represented by the Five Carriers Negotiating Committee, or by their employees, in the conditions out of which the disputes arose.
