Sec. 797e. Assignment of work


(a) General

    With respect to any craft or class of employees not covered by a 
collective bargaining agreement that provides for a process 
substantially equivalent to that provided for in this section, the 
Corporation shall have the right to assign, allocate, reassign, 
reallocate, and consolidate work formerly performed on the rail 
properties acquired pursuant to the provisions of this chapter from a 
railroad in reorganization to any location, facility, or position on its 
system if it does not remove such work from coverage of a collective 
bargaining agreement and does not infringe upon the existing 
classification of work rights of any craft or class of employees at the 
location or facility to which such work is assigned, allocated, 
reassigned, reallocated, or consolidated. Prior to the exercise of 
authority under this subsection, the Corporation shall negotiate an 
agreement with the representatives of the employees involved permitting 
such employees the right to follow their work.

(b) Expiration

    The authority granted by this section shall apply only for as long 
as benefits are provided under this subchapter with funds made available 
under section 797l \1\ of this title.
