For the first time in 30 years, Congress intervened to avert a rail strike that the White House and business experts said would hurt the U.S. economy.

The bill adopts a tentative agreement reached in September between union leaders and freight operators. Four of the 12 unions representing rail workers have since rejected the deal, setting up the impending work stoppage.

The agreement includes a 24% pay increase over five years, $5,000 bonuses, voluntary assigned days off, but only one paid day off. An additional measure passed in the House would have provided rail workers with seven paid sick days.

  1. Let’s not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don’t come from great performances but rather it’s great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important And with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

    1. @John Robert Trust me she’s awesome! I just cashed out $52,590 this morning with an investment of $5,500. I think I’ll be hitting millions soon.

    2. It’s best you contact her directly but to be honest I invested as low as $1000 because I was skeptical initially. Receiving my profit gave me more confidence to reinvest…. She only charges 10% commission from the overall profit generated

    3. I must commend her good work,, she’s good and guaranteed, work with her and see forex trading from another dimension 😊.contact her today and have financial freedom and Peace of mind.

    4. @ขอ ขอบคุThese is Solution I have been looking for.. thanks guys for referring. I will message her right away ☺️, hope she replies soon

  2. The current inflation rate is 8.5%. If that holds for 5 years…hmm….24% raise…hmm…gee…not a winning purchasing power combination. Union Joe, eh?…more like union bustin’ Reagan. So don’t bother paying union dues if your industry is deemed “essential to the nation”. How come “too big to fail” always favors the corporate class? Make up your mind….free market capitalism or government regulated socialism?
