My understanding is that there has been longstanding deference to the National Mediation Board regarding the findings it makes in the representation context. As the Supreme Court stated in Switchmen's Union v. NMB, after a NMB's decision on whether a showing of interest has been made ``the dispute [is] to reach its last terminal point when the administrative finding [i]s made. There [i]s to be no dragging out the controversy into other tribunals of law.'' Would these changes alter that longstanding deference in any way?
