Two forums exist to resolve RLA disputes, the federal courts and arbitration. Explain the broad classification system used to determine which forum is appropriate to solve the controversy.

Question 2

Does the Supreme Court have the power to enjoin secondary activity by rail unions?

Answer to Question 1

If a dispute under the RLA is major, it is not subject to Adjustment Board arbitration and should be resolved in federal court. If a dispute is minor, binding arbitration before the adjustment board is mandatory.

Answer to Question 2

No. Congress divested federal courts of the power to enjoin secondary picketing in the Norris-LaGuardia Act. It is up to Congress to restore that power, and Congress has not done so.
