"For the American people, the hard work done to reach this tentative agreement means that our economy can avert the significant damage any shutdown would have brought," Biden said.

The deal includes wage increases, bonuses, no increases in copays and deductibles and – for the first time – paid time off for sick workers and exemptions for medical visits. Rail companies' strict attendance policies had been a sticking point for the two largest unions representing conductors and engineers, which were among the final holdouts.

  2. Well, we will see how the Vote goes that is the deciding factor in all this, Not what the President says. It’s up to the Members at this point.

  3. RAILROAD CREW 2022 $$
    We’re just a railroad crew
    Racing down the track
    Far from our families
    Who will kiss us when we’re back.

    We’re running by the river
    She’s flowing muddy brown
    Everywhere, someone
    Hears our haunting sound.

    As we glide across a silver bridge
    Above the Mighty Mo.
    What we’ll see when we look down
    We never really know.

    Behind us on those rolling wheels
    Are a hundred cars of coal
    If we should jump the rail
    Then God shall judge our soul.

    When we reach the station
    We’ll head for the hotel
    Crawl in bed all by ourselves
    And dream until the bell.
