Providing for a correction in the enrollment of H.J. Res. 100.

Introduced November 29, 2022

AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 6:28 PM UTC

This concurrent resolution corrects the official text of joint resolution H.J. Res. 100 by adding paid‑sick‑leave requirements and related procedures. It inserts a new subsection that mandates seven days of paid sick leave each year for railway labor agreements, without reducing any existing more generous provisions, and protects employees from disciplinary action for using that leave. It also creates a new section directing the parties covered by Presidential Emergency Board No. 250 to negotiate these terms and, if needed, resolve disputes through binding arbitration under the Railway Labor Act. The changes affect railway carriers, labor unions, and other parties to those agreements.

Key Provisions

  • Adds a new subsection (b) titled “Paid Sick Leave” requiring 7 days of paid sick leave annually for tentative agreements, side letters, and local carrier agreements, while preserving any existing agreements that provide more than 7 days and protecting use of the leave from points, demerits, or disciplinary citations.
  • Redesignates the original section 2 as section 3 to accommodate the new language.
  • Inserts a new Section 2 outlining that parties to disputes under Presidential Emergency Board No. 250 must negotiate implementation of the paid‑sick‑leave provision; if they cannot agree within 30 days, they must enter binding arbitration under the Railway Labor Act, with arbitration costs shared equally and the process completed within 60 days of enactment.
