Commander James F. O'Neil - 2 September 13,1948

The decision of the Board was as follows:

"a) The Board, therefore, recommends that the striking pilots be reinstated as working employes.

"b) The Board further recommends that paragraph(m),
page 23, of the agreement between National Airlines, Inc. and The Air Line Pilots in the service of the National Airlines, Inc., effective December 9, 1941, be amended and supplemented to the end that in case the said System Board of Adjustment becomes deadlocked and unable to reach a decision on any matter properly coming before it, either party may thereupon petition the National Mediation Board for the appointment of a neutral referee to sit with the System Board of Adjustment, as a member thereof. Such System Board of Adjustment as then constituted shall hear the parties with reference to the dispute pending before it, de novo, and a majority vote for the Board shall be final and conclusive between parties.

"c) The Board also recommends that the O'Neal dispute be finally determined pursuant to the agreement of the parties dated May 14, 1947, by the System Board of Adjustment augmented by a neutral member to be appointed by the National Mediation Board."

All this notwithstanding, the company still is persisting in attempting to carry on a strike breaking operation.

Your assistance in this matter will be appreciated. Please let me hear from you.

Sincerely yours,

AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION

Transcription Notes:
employee ('employes') is spelled wrong in the original document, so should their be a double bracket?
