With President Biden urging Congress to prevent a rail strike, both rails and unions are drawing their lines in the sand on labor deal terms and consequences.
Railroads says the future of collective bargaining for industries including airlines is at stake after President Biden urged Congress to prevent a rail strike.
In a statement, the BMWED said pressuring Congress to pass legislation does not fix the problems or concerns of their workers. In a press conference on rail preparations, Association of American Railroads President and CEO Ian Jefferies told reporters that, "If the unions are interested in a holistic discussion for structural changes as it relates to their sick time, I think absolutely the railroad carriers would be up for a holistic discussion but [they] have not done it in the zero hour."
