Barnard Iglitzin & Lavitt LLP Railway Labor Act

Railway Labor Act

Enacted in 1926, the RLA is the oldest labor relations statute on the books. And we have extensive experience in it, representing pilots, flight attendants, machinists, and airline contractor employees, among others. Attorneys at our firm have set nationwide RLA precedents, on everything from the CHAOS™ strike to the rights of non-union workers to strike, the enforcement of voluntarily recognized CBAs, and more. We’ve also handled matters regarding the jurisdictional interplay between the NLRA and the RLA. And we handle day-to-day arbitrations under complex pilot CBAs. 

Our firm stands ready to provide you whatever you need in airline-industry union advocacy.
