““Nothing in this title [ ] shall be construed to alter, amend, modify, invalidate, impair, or supersede any law of the United States (except as provided in sections 1031 and 1137(b) of this title) or any rule or regulation issued under any such law.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In the light of the plain directive of section 514(d), unsoftened as it is by anything in ERISA’s history or background, we cannot balance ERISA against the Railway Labor Act, as ALPA invites us to do, so as to interpret the former "to alter, amend, modify, invalidate, impair, or supersede” the compulsory arbitration provisions of the Labor Act. Nor are we persuaded that the legislative history of ERI-SA reveasl an affirmative Congressional intention to do away with all compulsory arbitration for pension maters____ There is nothing in this history to show that Congress also wanted to change, repeal, or modify a prior Congressional enactment, like the Railway Labor Act____”
