National Mediation Board

The National Mediation Board (NMB) is a U.S. government agency that helps resolve labor disputes between airline and railroad workers and their employers. Its primary role is to facilitate negotiations and, if needed, assist in mediating conflicts to avoid work stoppages. The NMB oversees collective bargaining processes and ensures fair labor practices within the transportation industries it serves. Its goal is to promote peaceful resolution of disputes, maintain safety, and support efficient transportation services across the nation.
