CRISIS AVERTED AS BIDEN SIGNS THE SENATE DEAL ON RAIL LABOR AGREEMENT

Early Friday, President Biden signed the bill approved by the House and Senate, essentially making it illegal for rail workers to strike. Rail workers could organize a walkout, but they could legally be replaced by their employer or ordered by a federal judge to go back to work.

After the Senate’s vote yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters, “I am very glad that the two sides got together to avoid a shutdown which would’ve been devastating for the American people, for the American economy and so many workers across the country.”
