Great! The railroad strike was averted with a tentative agreement!

With help from Biden’s administration a tentative agreement has been reached! The strike could have crippled our nation’s economy and cause may problems throughout many industries.

1. This still needs to be voted on.

[Mad_Machine76]

2. Yeah

that's why it's tentative. But it's encouraging.

3. It buys time, and that's about it. It's encouraging only if the rank and file like it.

4. I have faith in Dark Brandon

What a relief he was able to prevent the strike and I trust his negotiating skills to reach a permanent deal!

And what a nightmare this would be if FF45 were still in office -- we'd be doomed...

5. It's not up to Biden. It's up to the rank and file.

6. If he were able to federally mandate the increased PTO and reduced OT demands the union is making...

It seems like the railroad companies wouldn't have a choice to impose such strict measures (at least that's how I am understanding it).

However I am sure the CEO's will do everything in their power to resist...

7. I was worried about this one. Thank goodness we

have a real president in charge.

8. Big deal assuming the members vote for it

A railroad strike coupled with that disastrous inflation report would've been a dagger at November. The momentum we've been finally gathering could've been halted in its tracks.

I still think Dobbs is the dark horse that'll upset some apple carts, but those two things combined would've exerted pressure in purple areas and probably be enough to shift some of the narrower races.

So if the agreement does go through, it'll be one less thing. Inflation is bad enough as it is. The country certainly wouldn't need that.
