President Joe Biden had warned a rail strike could spur a 'crippling' national shutdown.
"Congress has the power to adopt the agreement and prevent a shutdown," the statement concluded."It should set aside politics and partisan division and deliver for the American people. Congress should get this bill to my desk well in advance of December 9th so we can avoid disruption."
Biden held a meeting Tuesday with congressional leaders, at the start of which he expressed the need for Congress to act to prevent a rail strike and warned that the U.S. economy was at risk. After that meeting, several of those congressional leaders voiced their support for quickly passing the legislation.
