Parties make no change in the conditions out of which the disputes arose from the time the request to establish the Board was made until 60 days after the Board submits its report, unless they agree otherwise.
Section 9A(h) of the Railway Labor Act, codified at 45 U.S.C. § 159a(h), states that from the time a request to establish a board is made under subsection (e) until 60 days after that board makes its report under subsection (g), "no change, except by agreement, shall be made by the parties in the conditions out of which the dispute arose." This language legally prohibits the parties from changing the underlying conditions of the dispute during that period unless both sides agree. The quoted presidential order paraphrases this rule as applying from the request to establish the board until 60 days after the board submits its report, allowing changes only by agreement, which is consistent with the statute. Therefore, the verdict is True because the statement accurately reflects the substance and timing of the prohibition set out in 45 U.S.C. § 159a(h).
