The FAA Modernization and Reform Act (2012)

Congress took these actions in 2012 to amend the Railway Labor Act to change union certification election processes in the railroad and airline industries and impose greater oversight of the regulatory activities of the National Mediation Board (NMB). This law requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) initially to evaluate the NMB’s certification procedures and then audit the NMB’s operations every 2 years.
