Three hundred business groups are calling on President Biden to intervene in the ratification of the national tentative agreement he helped broker last month between rail unions and US freight railroads.

In a letter sent to the president Thursday, retail, agricultural, manufacturing, and trucking associations jointly asked the president to ensure that the tentative agreement is ratified. The groups include American Trucking Associations, the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, and the National Retail Federation.

Six unions have ratified that deal, two voted it down, and four have not held votes. Those include the two largest unions of engineers and conductors, BLET and SMART-TD. Their votes will be held in November. The unions that have so far voted down the agreement, and any others that do so in the future, could still authorize a strike if they don’t come up with new agreements by November 19. That move would send all 12 unions to the picket lines, regardless of whether they ratified the deal.
