America faces a growing risk of a crippling national freight rail strike in two weeks after rank-and-file members of the nation’s largest rail union, which represents the industry’s conductors, rejected a tentative labor deal with freight railroads, the union announced Monday. The nation’s second-largest rail union, which represents engineers, ratified its own contract.
But the conductors’ vote ultimately failed because the union’s rules require each of five classes of workers within the union to approve the deal for it to pass. Although 64.5% of members who ride the locomotives with the engineers supported the deal, 50.87% members of train and engine service members of the union voted against ratification.
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the most impactful news story you will probably red today but didn't know it yet.
They should strike for as long as it takes but their leadership will cave.
Railworkers, conductors, and engineers, the nation loves you and we truly admire your hard work, but please for the love of GOD do NOT shut down the railways during the Holiday season!
*another setback for multi-billion dollar rail corporations who continue to exploit their dwindling manpower that simply want to make a livable wage and be treated like human beings when it comes to health* FTFY
Is this another one of Joe's 'wait till after the midterms' quid pro quo?
But but but uncle Joey said he had this fixed to save the election.

With 12 rail unions, each having different classes that have to ratify agreements with the rail corps ... if ONE doesn't wanna play then ALL the unions shut down the food/supplies, the holidays, and the economy ... at a cost of 2BILLOIN/day!

Good! ALL American taxpaying workers need to take a stand against the greed of corporate america. Its time we show them this country wouldnt run without us! UAW7902, uaw2865 2110for1M1V UAWstromg UAWsolidarity
Unions are scum. For lazy people and under achievers.
Fire them all
it is all just for show ☝😠
They should have gone on strike this summer. Allowing the government to manhandle them was a huge mistake and is being used by the dementia patient to boost his lie.
to be clear: the point is to temporarily cripple the economy to a) get demands met, b) send a message to other executives that you can’t push around union labor anymore, and c) force executives to pressure each other to meet demands quickly. union power is good!
Won’t matter, Congress will vote them right back to work under the RLA.
I hate Unions because of this crap. They are ultimately responsible for shit to get more expensive and hurt millions of Americans in every way possible. Look how the Teachers Union have been hurting our children.
Cato_of_Utica Particularly in light of all the ratifying unions, Congress will act—as it has in the past.
Give the People what they want they need it for Inflation!
How can you write a TWO paragraph story about the 'largest railroad union' in the first place? Secondly, how can you publish that story without ever mentioning the name of the 'largest railroad union' in the country. This is why people have stopped watching CNN.
hell yes
Time for self-driving trains The country, and the economy, shouldn't be held hostage by one group
Guess the railroad management better come up with a better deal!
Good
Good
Thank God the adults are back in charge.
Thankss a millon
