On January 27, 2014, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in Amerijet International, Inc. Donv. NLRB, 520 Fed. Appx. 795 (11th Cir. 2013), and thereby let stand an Eleventh Circuit decision holding that a Railway Labor Act (“RLA”) employer could not block an unfair labor practice investigation by the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”). In Amerijet, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers filed an unfair labor practice charge against Amerijet under the heidiNational Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), and the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) began an investigation. Amerijet responded by seeking a declaratory judgment that because it was an employer subject to the RLA, and not the NLRA, the NLRB lacked jurisdiction to conduct such an investigation. The district court dismissed the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Not trying to be a lawyer, and I don't claim to be a rocket surgeon. Just trying to share information with people who might benefit from it.
