"At the request of the five labor unions representing Long Island Rail Road workers, President Trump signed an e xecutive order to convene a Presidential Emergency Board to bring both sides back to the negotiating table and prevent a strike that could have crippled the New York City area and disrupted the upcoming Ryder Cup on Long Island. Once again, President Trump is stepping up when Democrats have failed,"
"Regarding a timeline for the presidential emergency board, union leaders said a board would be established by September 18, with a 120-day status quo, with an establishment of the board. Within 30 days of the establishment of the board, there would be hearings and a recommendation to President Trump by the middle of October. If there is no settlement, the National Mediation Board would hold a public interest meeting. If there is still no agreement, in January, the 120-day period would run out."
"but it won't happen now."
President Trump signed an executive order to convene a Presidential Emergency Board at the request of five labor unions representing Long Island Rail Road workers, averting an immediate strike that could have affected almost 300,000 commuters and disrupted the Ryder Cup on Long Island. The Presidential Emergency Board will return management and unions to the bargaining table and impose a temporary status quo. Union leaders said the board would be established by September 18 with a 120-day status quo, hearings within 30 days, and a recommendation to the president by mid-October. If no settlement follows, additional mediation steps and possible subsequent PEB action could occur, so a strike remains possible after procedural deadlines.
