President Biden Signs Bill Avoiding Railroad Strike

The Senate voted on Thursday December 1, 2022 and adopted a measure that forces an agreement between national freight railroads and their unions, avoiding a potential railroad strike that would have significantly impacted the US economy and logistics industry. Friday morning, President Biden signed the bill that will impose a labor agreement for rail workers. “The bill I’m about to sign ends a difficult rail dispute and helps our nation avoid what without a doubt would have been an economic catastrophe at a very bad time in the calendar,” President Biden said before signing the legislation.
