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

Summary

When a federal court orders a stop to actions that threaten the national health or safety, the people in the labor dispute must try hard to settle their differences with help from the Service created by this law. Neither side has to accept any settlement suggestion from the Service. The President must bring back the board of inquiry that already looked into the dispute. If the dispute is not settled within 60 days, the board must report to the President the current positions, what was done to try to settle, each party’s statement, and the employer’s last offer. The President must make that report public. Within the next 15 days the National Labor Relations Board must hold a secret vote of the affected employees on whether they accept the employer’s final offer, and must send the vote results to the Attorney General within 5 days.
