49 U.S.C. § 20110 — Effect on employee qualifications and collective bargaining

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can only regulate employee qualifications tied to railroad safety. Unions and railroads can still bargain over other qualifications under the Railway Labor Act. Those agreements just can't conflict with safety rules and orders.

This chapter doesn't: (1) let the Secretary of Transportation prescribe regulations or issue orders about employee qualifications, except qualifications specifically tied to safety; or (2) stop the bargaining representatives of railroad carriers and their employees from making collective bargaining agreements under the Railway Labor Act — including agreements about employee qualifications — as long as those agreements aren't inconsistent with regulations prescribed and orders issued under this chapter.
