Executive Order 14349 of September 16, 2025

Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate Disputes Be-

tween the Long Island Rail Road Company and Certain of

Its Employees Represented by Certain Labor Organizations

Disputes exist between the Long Island Rail Road Company and certain

of its employees represented by certain labor organizations. The labor organi-

zations involved in these disputes are the Transportation Communications

Union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, the Brother-

hood of Railroad Signalmen, the International Association of Machinists

and Aerospace Workers, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical

Workers.

The disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of

the Railway Labor Act, as amended, 45 U.S.C. 151–188 (RLA).

Parties empowered by the RLA have requested that the President establish

an emergency board pursuant to section 9A of the RLA (45 U.S.C. 159a).

Section 9A(c) of the RLA provides that the President, upon such request,

shall appoint an emergency board to investigate and report on the disputes.

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section

9A of the RLA, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board (Board). There is established,

effective 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 18, 2025, a Board

composed of a chair and two other members, all of whom shall be appointed

by the President to investigate and report on these disputes. No member

shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization of railroad

employees or any carrier. The Board shall perform its functions subject

to the availability of funds.

Sec. 2. Report. The Board shall report to the President with respect to

the disputes within 30 days of its creation.

Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section 9A(c) of the RLA,

for 120 days from the date of the creation of the Board, no change in

the conditions out of which the disputes arose shall be made by the parties

to the controversy, except by agreement of the parties.

Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of the Board are

records of the Office of the President and upon the Board’s termination

shall be maintained in the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.

Sec. 5. Expiration. The Board shall terminate upon the submission of

the report provided for in section 2 of this order.
