This is the end of a response to an appeal filed by FAPA, seems like they were certainly able to petition and be heard even though they were no longer the representing body. There are more petitions on this website than I care to count in which the petitioner was the company
The Board has reviewed the submissions of FAPA, UTU, and IBT. FAPA has failed to demonstrate a material error of law or fact or circumstances in which the Board’s exercise of discretion to modify the decision is important to the public interest. Furthermore, the Board finds that FAPA has failed to show that the prior decision is fundamentally inconsistent with the proper execution of the Board’s responsibilities under the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 151, et seq. Accordingly, any relief upon reconsideration is denied.
The facts and circumstances have certainly changed.
The following are some indicia of a single transportation system:
(1) published combined schedules or combined routes;
(2) standardized uniforms;
(3) common marketing, markings or insignia;
(4) integrated essential operations such as scheduling or dispatching;
(5) centralized labor and personnel operations;
(6) combined or common management, corporate officers, and board of directors;
(7) combined workforce; and,
(8) common or overlapping ownership.
Not sure why this would be denied a second time but you can keep on dreaming I guess.
