Unions and management have reached a tentative deal that averts a freight railroad strike that had threatened to cripple US supply chains and push prices higher for many goods

The deal with unions representing more than 50,000 engineers and conductors was announced just after 5 a.m. ET in a statement from the White House, which called it “an important win for our economy and the American people.” It came after 20 hours of talks between the unions’ leadership and the railroads’ labor negotiators hosted by Labor Secretary Marty Walsh. They began their meeting Wednesday morning with the clock ticking down to a strike that had been set to start at 12:01 am ET on Friday.

” The dispute was about staffing shortages and scheduling rules that union leaders said had brought their membership to a breaking point. The unions say the railroads have been requiring their members to be “on call” and ready to report to work on short notice as often as seven days a week. Leadership of the two unions had said their members would not accept a contract without changes to those work rules.

However, the actual employees say it is not done. Their union is still not sticking up for their interests and there has not been a vote

This is utter bullshit, this was ALL pre-planned out just to make Biden and Demoncrats look like heroes just before the November elections!

Railroad does not rely on GOVERNMENT Pension system … there money will be guarantied unlike socal security being bled dry , railroad don’t need biden , if your a retired wife of a railroad worker you will also receive a pension … just a fun fact , so railroad don’t need biden

Poor GOP. They were really hoping for a long and crippling strike, anything to crash the economy in an election year.

Dark Brandon delivering results AGAIN, with his loyal ward, Sec Pete, beside him!! 👍👍. I’m really starting to get tired of all this winning!! 😂

Why did they want to strike, so they got them sick days and a adjusted schedule no more mandatory 7 days in a row

How about crediting the Biden administration?

Lol I’m sure

Fix this get rid of unions and fire people

A tentative agreement is not averted.

Not a strike, a lockout. Interesting lie, tho

Biden what the hell are you doing

ciaobellaja

Than God. I've been waiting for CNN and all these other networks to blame Joe for the strike.

Another made up story to make JB look like he is competent…. Not working!

Another win for President Biden!

And Biden had nothing to do with it the intelligent people worked it out

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Good news for Americans, bad news for the GOP.

Biden is lucky on this one. If this strike would have happened it would have made Biden's economy much worse than it already is.

Good.

Thanks to the Biden administration 👍

Everything freight just got more expensive.

All that drama 🙄

How convenient for Joey and his union buddies.

Good

ANY democRAT: Trump was accused of working with Russians by an organization that actually WAS working with a Russian. So, if the notion of Trump working with Russians is bad, how bad is it that the FBI actually was?

The War on American working class families. Keep them ignorant, poor, and oppressed..🦊📚👈

Well done Mr President. Working for all Americans.

Yea but I don’t think the rr workers who vote have agreed to anything yet. Just swampy Union heads and their cuddle buddy politicians.

Well, this is not shocking at all unions are Democrats for the most part, and if they didn’t come to a deal, this would’ve been absolutely devastating to the Biden administration.

You have curtailed economy of many 3rd world countries... Especially Kenya in specific. Let you do something to revive our standards

Do you trust Unions ?

BIDEN did this!

disband union

That’s another Biden Win! I’m not tired of winning yet.

Have a feeling this was fodder to make FJB look like a hero

It was that easy?

When opportunists strike

Outstanding president Biden
