(179,008 posts)A rail stoppage likely would have thrown people out of work while the strike lasted. It would have increased inflation as well because goods would be harder to get.

(5,104 posts)The railroad workers are clearly in need of a square deal and a strike at this time would have been dire for the national economy.
I was feeling confident that if anyone could broker a deal it was the Biden Administration.
Well done!

Thank you President Biden!
The most remarkable slate of successes weve seen in a long time.

(60,189 posts)He not only would have negotiated in good faith, but the unions already knew he had their back. With a Republican president, the unions would have known exactly the opposite.

(141,926 posts)to take time away from work to attend routine and preventative medical, as well as exemptions from attendance policies for hospitalizations and surgical procedures, the presidents of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and the Transportation Division of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers said in a news release.
The presidents, Jeremy Ferguson of the transportation division and Dennis Pierce of the engineers and trainmen, also said the deal will freeze workers monthly health care contributions when it expires, ensuring those costs will not increase during the next round of contract negotiations.
Mr. Biden said the agreement would help workers access medical care and help companies attract and retain workers. This agreement is validation validation of what Ive always believed, Mr. Biden said. Unions and management can work together can work together for the benefit of everyone.
The Association of American Railroads, an industry group, thanked the unions and Biden administration officials including Mr. Walsh, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack for helping to bring the deal together.'>>>
