CLEVELAND, August 15 — A copy of the National Mediation Board’s decision on the Kansas City Southern single-craft issue is available on the NMB’s website.

In it, the NMB denies the United Transportation Union’s attempt to raid the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers through the creation of a single operating craft of “Train and Engine Service Employees.”

The Board also emphasizes the fact that two distinct and separate operating crafts exist on the KCS.

The decision is available here:
