As the RLA was invoked to prevent a rail strike last year, there were only twenty-three major work stoppages (events that involved at least one thousand workers each) in which a total of one hundred twenty-six thousand workers participated. The Origins and Evolution of the RLA Regime Throughout the years leading up to the passage of the RLA in 1926, railroad worker militancy was the main spur toward the enactment of federal laws regulating labor relations. Over the last decade, PSR, a version of the notorious "stretch out" that textile employers once inflicted on workers (by running looms faster and pushing two workers to tend the same number of looms that three once tended), has seen rail carriers try to run trains continuously with as little down time and as few crew members and maintenance workers as possible.

Hermann/MTA During the past year, we have been reminded of the fact that a law now almost a century old - the Railway Labor Act (RLA) - continues to prevent some of our most essential workers from using their most basic power, their ability to engage in collective action to improve their wages and working conditions or defend the common good.
