United States Fifth Circuit

In a labor dispute in which defendant-union sought the production of certain documents by plaintiff-employer, vacatur of National Railroad Adjustment Board's (NRAB) order requiring production of documents is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) NRAB's failure to make a finding on whether plaintiff acted in violation of the CBA was not an interpretation of the CBA, and remand to NRAB was therefore required; 2) NRAB was within its jurisdiction to order the production of documents; and 3) NRAB did not violate its obligation to interpret the award upon the parties' request.
