The rights of our brothers and sisters who work at airlines and railroads are in jeopardy.

Over 75 years ago, Democrats and Republicans worked together to craft the Railway Labor Act to resolve labor disputes in the airline and railroad industries. Under the Act, the National Mediation Board administers union representation elections in the industry.

Until today.

Radical anti-union members of Congress are attempting to rewrite this important labor law and change the role of the National Mediation Board without debate or discussion. They have included drastic changes to the law in the FAA Reauthorization bill.

Click here to write Congress today and make sure that these changes are removed from the FAA Reauthorization bill.

The changes these radicals are seeking would:

• Make it much harder for airline and railroad workers to hold union representation elections.
• Threaten airline and railroad workers’ right to a secret ballot during union representation campaigns, allowing for management intimidation and retaliation.
• Allow airline and railroad management to decertify unions without an election in a merger.

And, in a shocking act of hypocrisy, it would enshrine these anti-worker changes into law. Meanwhile, the rule that promotes democracy by preventing non-voters from being counted as no votes in a union representation election would not be written into law, and could be easily changed.

The FAA Reauthorization bill is an important piece of legislation that must be passed to ensure safe, efficient air travel. It is not the place to make drastic changes to rules that protect the rights of workers to join labor unions.

We must stand together to let Congress know that unrelated, controversial changes to labor law have no place in this bill.
