Senate votes to impose rail labor deal, averting Dec. 9 shutdown of freight system President Biden warned would cripple U.S. economy
Biden told reporters Thursday morning a strike, which would have begun Dec. 9, would have triggered"a recession."between union leaders and freight operators. Four of the 12 unions representing rail workers have since rejected the deal, setting up the impending work stoppage.
"This is America. 2022. You don't treat people – especially people in the rail industry who are doing dangerous, difficult work," Sanders said on the Senate floor before the vote. "What was negotiated was so much better than anything they ever had," Biden said of the tentative deal, noting that eight of the 12 unions signed approved it. He said he will"continue to fight" for paid leave for all American workers, which he unsuccessfully pushed in Congress last year.
