Congress Seeks Labor Peace Law Inspired by Railway Act
A group of Senators led by Hatch proposes sweeping labor relations reform to create a new federal board for mediation and a separate unfair labor practices tribunal. The plan, modeled on the railway labor act, would compel arbitration of grievances while preserving the right to strike. It envisions replacing the wartime labor structure with a durable framework for industrial peace, applying rules to all parties and enforcing settlements through courts when needed.
