MEMORANDUM OPINION
BLOCH, District Judge.
Presently before this Court are plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and defendant’s motion to dismiss. Both motions raise a single legal issue, i.e., whether the provisions of the Railway Labor Act (RLA), 45 U.S.C. § 151, et seq., governing resolution of labor disputes are applicable in the instant matter. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, the Court concludes that the RLA is applicable. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is granted and defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied.
