1 TITLE IV—PROVIDING FOR THE ADOP2 TION OF MANDATORY STANDARDS

3 AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE

4 ACTIONS OF ARBITRATORS IN THE AR5 BITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES IN6 VOLVING TRANSIT AGENCIES OPERAT7 ING IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA

8 SECTION 401. SHORT TITLE.

9 This title may be cited as the ‘‘National Capital Area

10 Interest Arbitration Standards Act of 1995’’.

11 SEC. 402. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

12 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

13 (1) affordable public transportation is essential

14 to the economic vitality of the national capital area

15 and is an essential component of regional efforts to

16 improve air quality to meet environmental require17 ments and to improve the health of both residents

18 of and visitors to the national capital area as well

19 as to preserve the beauty and dignity of the Nation’s

20 capital;

21 (2) use of mass transit by both residents of and

22 visitors to the national capital area is substantially

23 affected by the prices charged for such mass transit

24 services, prices that are substantially affected by
56

•HR 2002 RFS

labor costs, since more than 2 1 ⁄3 of operating costs

2 are attributable to labor costs;

3 (3) labor costs incurred in providing mass tran4 sit in the national capital area have increased at an

5 alarming rate and wages and benefits of operators

6 and mechanics currently are among the highest in

7 the Nation;

8 (4) higher operating costs incurred for public

9 transit in the national capital area cannot be offset

10 by increasing costs to patrons, since this often dis11 courages ridership and thus undermines the public

12 interest in promoting the use of public transit;

13 (5) spiraling labor costs cannot be offset by the

14 governmental entities that are responsible for sub15 sidy payments for public transit services since local

16 governments generally, and the District of Columbia

17 government in particular, are operating under severe

18 fiscal constraints;

19 (6) imposition of mandatory standards applica20 ble to arbitrators resolving arbitration disputes in21 volving interstate compact agencies operating in the

22 national capital area will ensure that wage increases

23 are justified and do not exceed the ability of transit

24 patrons and taxpayers to fund the increase; and
57

•HR 2002 RFS

1 (7) Federal legislation is necessary under Arti2 cle I of section 8 of the United States Constitution

3 to balance the need to moderate and lower labor

4 costs while maintaining industrial peace.

5 (b) PURPOSE.—It is therefore the purpose of this Act

6 to adopt standards governing arbitration which must be

7 applied by arbitrators resolving disputes involving inter8 state compact agencies operating in the national capital

9 area in order to lower operating costs for public transpor10 tation in the Washington metropolitan area.

11 SEC. 403. DEFINITIONS.

12 As used in this Title—

13 (1) the term ‘‘arbitration’’ means—

14 (A) the arbitration of disputes, regarding

15 the terms and conditions of employment, that is

16 required under an interstate compact governing

18 national capital area; and

19 (B) does not include the interpretation and

20 application of rights arising from an existing

21 collective bargaining agreement;

22 (2) the term ‘‘arbitrator’’ refers to either a sin23 gle arbitrator, or a board of arbitrators, chosen

24 under applicable procedures;
58

•HR 2002 RFS

1 (3) an interstate compact agency’s ‘‘funding

2 ability’’ is the ability of the interstate compact agen3 cy, or of any governmental jurisdiction which pro4 vides subsidy payments or budgetary assistance to

5 the interstate compact agency, to obtain the nec6 essary financial resources to pay for wage and bene7 fit increases for employees of the interstate compact

8 agency;

9 (4) the term ‘‘interstate compact agency operat10 ing in the national capital area’’ means any inter11 state compact agency which provides public transit

12 services;

13 (5) the term ‘‘interstate compact agency’’

14 means any agency established by an interstate com15 pact to which the District of Columbia is a signa16 tory; and

17 (6) the term ‘‘public welfare’’ includes, with re18 spect to arbitration under an interstate compact—

19 (A) the financial ability of the individual

20 jurisdictions participating in the compact to pay

21 for the costs of providing public transit services;

22 and

23 (B) the average per capita tax burden,

24 during the term of the collective bargaining

25 agreement to which the arbitration relates, of
59

•HR 2002 RFS

1 the residents of the Washington, D.C. metro2 politan area, and the effect of an arbitration

3 award rendered pursuant to such arbitration on

4 the respective income or property tax rates of

5 the jurisdictions which provide subsidy pay6 ments to the interstate compact agency estab7 lished under the compact.

8 SEC. 404. STANDARDS FOR ARBITRATORS.

9 (a) FACTORS IN MAKING ARBITRATION AWARD.—An

10 arbitrator rendering an arbitration award involving the

11 employees of an interstate compact agency operating in

12 the national capital area may not make a finding or a deci13 sion for inclusion in a collective bargaining agreement gov14 erning conditions of employment without considering the

15 following factors:

16 (1) The existing terms and conditions of em17 ployment of the employees in the bargaining unit.

18 (2) All available financial resources of the inter19 state compact agency.

20 (3) The annual increase or decrease in

21 consumer prices for goods and services as reflected

22 in the most recent consumer price index for the

23 Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, published by

24 the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States

25 Department of Labor.
60

•HR 2002 RFS

1 (4) The wages, benefits, and terms and condi2 tions of the employment of other employees who per3 form, in other jurisdictions in the Washington, D.C.

4 standard metropolitan statistical area, services simi5 lar to those in the bargaining unit.

6 (5) The special nature of the work performed

7 by the employees in the bargaining unit, including

8 any hazards or the relative ease of employment,

9 physical requirements, educational qualifications, job

10 training and skills, shift assignments, and the de11 mands placed upon the employees as compared to

12 other employees of the interstate compact agency.

13 (6) The interests and welfare of the employees

14 in the bargaining unit, including—

15 (A) the overall compensation presently re16 ceived by the employees, having regard not only

17 for wage rates but also for wages for time not

18 worked, including vacations, holidays, and other

19 excused absences;

20 (B) all benefits received by the employees,

21 including previous bonuses, insurance, and pen22 sions; and

23 (C) the continuity and stability of employ24 ment.

25 (7) The public welfare.
61

•HR 2002 RFS

1 (b) COMPACT AGENCY’S FUNDING ABILITY.—An ar2 bitrator rendering an arbitration award involving the em3 ployees of an interstate compact agency operating in the

4 national capital area may not, with respect to a collective

5 bargaining agreement governing conditions of employ6 ment, provide for salaries and other benefits that exceed

7 the interstate compact agency’s funding ability.

8 (c) REQUIREMENTS FOR FINAL AWARD.—In resolv9 ing a dispute submitted to arbitration involving the em10 ployees of an interstate compact agency operating in the

11 national capital area, the arbitrator shall issue a written

12 award that demonstrates that all the factors set forth in

13 subsections (a) and (b) have been considered and applied.

14 An award may grant an increase in pay rates or benefits

15 (including insurance and pension benefits), or reduce

16 hours of work, only if the arbitrator concludes that any

17 costs to the agency do not adversely affect the public wel18 fare. The arbitrator’s conclusion regarding the public wel19 fare must be supported by substantial evidence.

20 SEC. 405. PROCEDURES FOR ENFORCEMENT OF AWARDS.

21 (a) MODIFICATIONS AND FINALITY OF AWARD.—In

22 the case of an arbitration award to which section 404 ap23 plies, the interstate compact agency and the employees in

24 the bargaining unit, through their representative, may

25 agree in writing upon any modifications to the award with-
62

•HR 2002 RFS

1 in 10 days after the award is received by the parties. After

2 the end of that 10-day period, the award, with any such

3 modifications, shall become binding upon the interstate

4 compact agency, the employees in the bargaining unit, and

5 the employees’ representative.

6 (b) IMPLEMENTATION.—Each party to an award that

7 becomes binding under subsection (a) shall take all actions

8 necessary to implement the award.

9 (c) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—Within 60 days after an

10 award becomes binding under subsection (a), the inter11 state compact agency or the exclusive representative of the

12 employees concerned may file a civil action in a court

13 which has jurisdiction over the interstate compact agency

14 for review of the award. The court shall review the award

15 on the record, and shall vacate the award or any part of

16 the award, after notice and a hearing, if—

17 (1) the award is in violation of applicable law;

18 (2) the arbitrator exceeded the arbitrator’s pow19 ers;

20 (3) the decision by the arbitrator is arbitrary or

21 capricious;

22 (4) the arbitrator conducted the hearing con23 trary to the provisions of this title or other statutes

24 or rules that apply to the arbitration so as to sub25 stantially prejudice the rights of a party;

1 (5) there was partiality or misconduct by the

2 arbitrator prejudicing the rights of a party;
