A Kennedy advised plan favors a non compulsory government role, using mediation and a three member board to study looming labor disputes. If findings urge action the president could halt a strike for 80 days, then push for settlement, with potential arbitration and government clout under a new law.
The plan would empower a Special board to advise on fair wages and conditions, with authority to order parts of the industry back to work for up to 80 days. Hearings would be held, and public recommendations issued, while both sides could reject the board's guidance. The public would witness the process and judge arbitrariness.
