President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday appointing a new emergency board to mediate the rail labor dispute in New York in hopes of avoiding a possibly crippling strike.

This is now the second board that will conduct mediations between New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Long Island Rail Road workers, which is made up of a coalition of five unions that requested again for Trump to intervene.
