President Biden Signs Resolution To Avert Nationwide Rail Strike WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 02: U.S.
President Joe Biden delivers brief remarks before signing bipartisan legislation averting a rail workers strike in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on December 02, 2022 in Washington, DC. Biden helped negotiate a deal between freight rail companies and their workers in September but a union that primarily represents conductors rejected the plan. Siting the need to avert the economic damage caused by a holiday season rail strike, Congress passed legislation imposing the negotiated agreement.
As the president was entertaining French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been in Washington for a state visit, the rail strike bill was heading to Biden’s desk. Even as he signed the bill, he acknowledged the political discomfort it caused. But it does not include the seven days of paid sick leave some unions wanted; instead, the new contract offers rail employees a single personal day.with 263,000 jobs gained throughout the month
