Abstract

From 1946 to the 1970s, the emergency strike procedures of the Taft-Hartley Act, special health care boards, and railroad and airline emergency boards under the Railway Labor Act were all used frequently in strike situations. By the 1980s, the use of these procedures had declined substantially in railroads and ceased almost entirely in other industries; Congressional action to delay or end rail stoppages has, however, become relatively common. The author documents and analyzes these trends, concluding that amending existing legislation to accommodate to the changed conditions is almost certainly undesirable.
