BREAKING: White House strikes tentative deal to avoid a rail strike that threatened massive disruption across the U.S., President Biden says.
that threatened massive disruption across the United States, President Joe Biden announced early Thursday.
The tentative deal will represent a relief for Biden ahead of the midterms, after days of mounting fears that a union contract dispute might not be resolved. The president said the deal was also"a win for tens of thousands of rail workers who worked tirelessly through the pandemic." The president said it was also a victory for railway companies"who will be able to retain and recruit more workers for an industry that will continue to be part of the backbone of the American economy for decades to come."A source familiar with the negotiations described the “tentative” language as “a standard part of the ratification process,” which will now go to the union membership for a vote.
