One union rejects deal days ahead of rail strike deadline
although the railroads maintain their operations have just become more efficient as they rely on fewer, longer trains.
“All parties need to stay at the table, bargain in good faith to resolve outstanding issues, and come to an agreement,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “A shutdown of our freight system is an unacceptable outcome for our economy and the American people, and all parties must work to avoid just that.”
With the midterm elections just weeks away, politics will play a role if Congress has to settle this dispute. Democrats are wary of becoming crosswise with their allies in organized labor, as unions tend to be strong supporters in elections. At the same time, Republicans see an opportunity to put pressure on Biden and his party if the railroads teeter toward a strike. But it’s entirely possible that all sides would be blamed for a rail shutdown.
