The full title of this classification is Railway Labor Act; Railway Labor Act - Employer's Liability Act. The Bureau opened this classification in July 1948 in response to a memorandum to the Director. Until 1955 the classification contained investigations of the criminal provisions of the Railway Labor Act of 1926. In 1955 Congress passed the Employees Liability Act covering workers' injuries and other accident-related investigations. None of the cases in the sample concerned accidents and the Bureau's jurisdiction for these incidents was removed in 1980.

Most cases in the sample appear to involve airlines. In 1980, the Bureau instructed Field Offices to advise Headquarters immediately if a controversial or national figure was being investigated.
