wrote a letter earlier this week pleading with lawmakers to take action to avert a strike.

He then voted for the sick leave proposal and against the underlying mandated settlement, which was approved 80-15. “I don’t think that makes sense,” Cruz said. “I don’t think it was fair. I thought the rail workers’ demands were quite reasonable.”
