Under the Railway Labor Act the board must report to President Kennedy by May 11, with a 30 day negotiation window ending June 11 before changes or a strike. The board has proposed abolishing 65,000 jobs and raising pay for 150,000, with carriers accepting but unions opposing the plan. The unions hinted at action if the dispute remains unresolved by June 11.
