OPINION OF THE COURT
BECKER, Circuit Judge.
In 1926, Congress enacted the Railway Labor Act (“RLA”), in order to prevent railroad strikes from crippling interstate commerce. See ch. 347, 44 Stat. 577 (1926), now codified as amended at 45 U.S.C. §§ 151-188 (1982); Detroit & Toledo Shore Line R.R. v. United Transp. Union, 396 U.S. 142, 148, 90 S.Ct. 294, 298, 24 L.Ed.2d 325 (1969). The RLA prohibits a railroad employer from changing “rates of pay, rules, or working conditions” while a dispute concerning changes in a collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated. 45 U.S.C. § 156 (1982).
