The following is an explanation of how the services shall be requested under this BPA. A Call specifies and authorizes work to be accomplished by the contractor to satisfy Government requirements.

The Contractor will be provided adequate time to prepare and submit responses to the BPA Call requirement. The due date and time will be set forth in each BPA Call CPR.

Acceptance of responses to CPRs will result in Calls subject to the terms and conditions of this BPA. In the event of a conflict between a Call and this BPA, the BPA shall prevail.

1. The description of the work to be performed/technical requirements, and quantities needed

2. The period of performance or required completion date

NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD (NMB)

Secured Printing and Mailing Services Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 Mission of the National Mediation Board (NMB)

The National Mediation Board (NMB), established by the 1934 amendments to the Railway Labor Act (RLA) of 1926, is an independent agency that performs a central role in facilitating harmonious labor-management relations within two of the nation's key transportation modes--the railroads and airlines.

Pursuant to the Railway Labor Act, NMB programs provide an integrated dispute resolution process to effectively meet the statutory objective of minimizing work stoppages in the airline and railroad industries. The NMB's integrated processes are specifically designed to promote three statutory goals:

• The prompt and orderly resolution of disputes arising out of the negotiation of new or revised collective bargaining agreements;

• The effectuation of employee rights of self-organization where a representation dispute exists;

and

• The prompt and orderly resolution of disputes over the interpretation or application of existing agreements.

1.1.1 Mediation

The purpose of mediation under the Railway Labor Act is to foster the prompt and orderly resolution of collective bargaining disputes in the railroad and airline industries. These disputes, referred to as "major" disputes, involve the establishment or revision of rates of pay, rules, or working conditions.

The parties should attempt to resolve collective bargaining disputes through direct negotiations.

Failing that, either party may request the Board's services or the Board may involve itself on its own initiative. In its mediatory role, the Board may employ a variety of methods, including traditional mediation, interest-based problem solving, or facilitation. The Board views the objective of mediation as assistance to the parties in achieving agreement and sees the role of the mediator as an active participant in the process as a key to that assistance.

NMB expertise in mediation and its discretion to determine when mediation has been exhausted, however, ensures that bargaining disputes rarely escalate into disruptions of passenger service and the transportation of commerce. Historically, some 97 percent of all NMB mediation cases have been successfully resolved without interruptions to public service. Since 1980, slightly more than 1 percent of cases have involved a disruption of service.

1.1.2 Presidential Emergency Boards

In rare situations, when a disruption of essential transportation services, which meets the standards specified by the RLA, the NMB may recommend that the President create a Presidential Emergency Board. A Presidential Emergency Board temporarily prevents a work stoppage or a lock out for up to sixty calendar days and provides recommendations for resolving the dispute.

1.1.3 Representation

Under the Railway Labor Act, the NMB is responsible for effectuating employee rights of self-organization where a representation dispute exists. The NMB representation process ensures that potentially disruptive disputes over who represents employees for collective bargaining purposes are resolved peacefully. Peaceful resolution of representation disputes is crucial to the airline and railroad industries because of the central role they play in the U.S. transportation system. The NMB's effective determination of collective bargaining representation enhances the stability of collective bargaining in the railroad and airline industries.

The primary representation dispute responsibilities of the NMB are as follows:

• Conduct initial investigation of representation applications;

• Determine and certify collective bargaining representatives of employees; and

• Ensure that the process occurs without interference, influence or coercion

1.1.4 Arbitration

Under the Railway Labor Act, employee grievances arising under the terms of collective bargaining agreements (minor disputes) are subject to compulsory arbitration. Effective arbitration processes are therefore necessary to resolve such disputes.

1.1.5 Alternative Dispute Resolution and Dispute Prevention Activities

The NMB's alternative dispute resolution and dispute prevention activities consist of training and education including interest-based bargaining and facilitation, pre-dispute mediation and grievance mediation among other services. The overall goal is to help the parties bring about a positive change in the collective bargaining culture in the railroad and airline industries and achieve a more timely resolution of disputes. To help achieve a positive change in bargaining culture at a time of increasingly complex negotiations, the NMB initiated a training and facilitation process to assist the parties in undertaking innovative negotiation and dispute resolution approaches. In addition to training offered by the Board to the parties, the Board has undertaken a continuing education program for its professional staff to ensure that all staff receive practitioner-oriented classroom and on-the-job training in communications and conflict management, consensual decision making, group problem solving, interest-based and traditional bargaining and grievance mediation.

Further information concerning the National Mediation Board and the Railway Labor Act is available on the NMB web page (www.nmb.gov) or by calling (202) 692-5000.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

Under the RLA, the Board is charged with determining collective bargaining representatives for employees in the airline and railroad industry. To make this determination the Board conducts an investigation once an application for a representation dispute is filed. In conducting an investigation, the Board is authorized to determine if a representation dispute exits and if it is found to exist, the Board authorizes an election. The Board is authorized to take a secret ballot of the employees involved, or to utilize any other appropriate method of ascertaining the names of their duly designated and authorized representatives in such a manner as shall insure the choice of representatives by the employees without interference, influence or coercion is exercised by the Carrier. On the date set in the election schedule each voter will receive a ballot which contains two pages of telephone and internet voting instructions and employees will cast their ballot via the internet or by using the automated telephone feature. The outcome is to either certify the collective bargaining representative based on a majority of the votes cast for representation or to dismiss the matter because the majority of votes cast were for “no representation”.
