§179 Injunctions During National Emergency; Adjustment Efforts by Parties During Injunction Period

Summary

When a court stops a strike or other action because it threatens national health or safety, the workers and the employer must try to settle their dispute with help from the federal labor service created by this law. Neither side has to accept any settlement the service proposes. The President must bring back the board that already studied the dispute. If the parties are not settled after 60 days, the board must report each side’s position and the employer’s last offer, and the President must publish that report. Within the next 15 days, the National Labor Relations Board must hold a secret vote of the workers on the employer’s final offer and send the vote results to the Attorney General within 5 days.
