to avoid a strike after some labor groups voted down a White House-brokered agreement. A negotiated agreement now appears unlikely. Congress can intervene to stop a strike under federal law.The White House declined to comment on the president’s plans. But it signaled it won’t let a shutdown of freight rail lines cripple the economy, with a spokeswoman noting that Congress has repeatedly intervened in the past to prevent work stoppages.
All 12 unions need to vote individually to ratify their contracts. If one union moves to strike, all of the unions – which represent more than 115,000 rail workers – would probably move in solidarity, triggering an industry-wide work stoppage. Congress could also extend a cooling-off period, allowing parties to continue negotiating until they reach an agreement, or force both sides to enter arbitration, where a third-party mediator gets involved.
Tony Caldwell, president of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, one of the unions that voted down the agreement, said his members will not ratify a deal unless it includes more expansive sick leave benefits. The union is asking for four paid sick days. But in the latest negotiations last week, the rail carriers “stated that they were unwilling to negotiate over” sick days, Caldwell said.
Let Kamala intervene. She's an expert on trains.
And how much is that going to cost the American taxpayers? Let’s go Brandon

I thought he fixed this................... This from the guy that uses executive orders at a record pace, even when his party holds the House AND the Senate. Now all of a sudden he passes the buck to Congress.

First lady Jill Biden unveils White House holiday decor and theme: ‘We the People’First lady Jill Biden revealed the White House holiday decor on Monday featuring 77 Christmas trees, mirrored ornaments and reflective surfaces to underscore the theme: “We the People.” Unless of course you’re pro freedom and liberty, then you’re an enemy of the state. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder She doesn't know that's a new Kid Rock song, does she? I guess “We the People” means “We the Democrats” or “We the Leftists” to the Bidens. Because they certainly don’t like anyone else that isn’t a part of their party. Such a hypocritical theme from a hypocritical regime.
