Employers, employees, and their unions must try hard to make and keep labor agreements. If a dispute happens, they must meet promptly to resolve it, and join federal mediation meetings if that doesn't work.

(a) In any industry that affects commerce, employers, employees, and their representatives (like unions) must: (1) Make every reasonable effort to create and keep agreements about pay rates, hours, and working conditions — including giving fair notice before changing any of those terms. (2) When a dispute arises over what a collective-bargaining agreement means or how it applies, and either side asks for a meeting, arrange that meeting quickly and try to settle the dispute fast. (3) If the meeting doesn't settle the dispute, take part fully and promptly in any meetings the Service (the federal mediation service) sets up to help settle it.
