Prior to 1918 several independent express agencies for delivering freight from the
railroad car to the customer existed in the railroad industry . In 1918 several of
the independents merged to form the American Railway Express Company, and in 1929
it was purchased by the Class I railroads and renamed Railway Express Agency.
While many of the employees were used jointly as express or railroad employees, and
the laws which apply to the rail- road industry were applied to the agency, the vehicular
drivers were represented by both the teamsters and the railway clerks. This led to
constant friction, each organization trying to secure more for its members than the
other.
Following an appeal to the National Mediation Board in 1937, a mediation agreement
was signed, giving the teamsters jurisdiction over chauffeurs, helpers and garage
men in New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and
San Francisco The balance of the employees were to be members of the railway clerks,
The Mediation Agreement did not eliminate all the friction. Eighteen emergency boards
had been appointed by the president to resolve disputes between the parties prior
to the current one,
On January 1. 1955 the teamsters sent a letter to the Agency expressing a desire
to revise and modify the rules of the locals operating in New York City. The request
was acknowledged and a conference arranged at which the company proposed that the
national agreement with the teamsters apply to New York City as well as to the other
cities. Several conferences were held, but no agreement was reached. The National
Mediation Board took jurisdiction on May 12, but was unable to compose the difference
in mediation. The organizations proposed to stop work on July 4, 1955.
The President appointed an emergency board consisting of Robert G. Simmons, Benjamin
C. Roberts and Morrison Handsaker under Executive Order 10622 on July 1, 1955. The
Board held bearings and submitted its report to the President
on August 1, 1955.
