§1346 — Title 45 Railroads | U.S. Code

Summary

Puts an end to all employee rights and any U.S. obligations under section 761(e) as it existed on October 21, 1986. It also settles all claims tied to the Definitive Agreement or similar deals; all claims about pay increases deferred under the May 5, 1981 agreement between Conrail and certain labor groups; disputes from notices asking for repayment or compensation for those deferrals; and claims against the Railway Labor Executives’ Association or the Corporation by advisers or consultants who worked on these matters. The Corporation will not be treated as breaking any agreement because of this part of the law or the actions it must take under it. The United States withdraws permission to be sued for claims arising from acts or failures under this part, except for lawsuits that seek to force the Secretary of Transportation to carry out duties required under part A.
