Series VI: National Railroad Adjustment Board. Decisions and Awards, 1952-1955

The National Railroad Adjustment Board [NRAB] was created by 45 U.S. Code 153, part of the Railway Labor Act. It is overseen by the National Mediation Board, which was created by the 1934 amendment to Railway Labor Act to oversee the arbitration of labor disputes in the railway and airline industries. The NRAB is tasked with arbitrating minor disputes, i.e. grievance arbitrations, in the railway industry. This series contains the NRAB's decision in cases that either affected labor relations on the M&St.L system, or cases that directly involved M&St.L personnel. The latter are all cases of employees' claims for wages, filed by the Switchmen's Union of North America [SUNA].
