SecTrans Pete is MIA, unsurprisingly, since he was a check-of-box choice with zero experience or competence.

Sounds like there is now a tentative deal.

Darn, I was kind of hoping to be able to tell moonbats that Biden can't even get the trains to run on time.   :bolt:

Looks like LIEden arm-twisted the railroads into taking the BOHICA treatment from the unions, https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2022/09/15/biden-head-knocking-leads-to-tentative-sweet-deal-for-rail-unions-n1629718 .

Consumers could pay price if railroads, unions can’t agree

--- Quote ---OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Consumers could see higher gas prices and shortages of some of their favorite groceries during the winter holiday season if railroads and all of their unions can’t agree on new contracts by an early-December deadline that had already been pushed back.

The likelihood of a strike that would paralyze the nation’s rail traffic grew on Monday when the largest of the 12 rail unions, which represents mostly conductors, rejected management’s latest offering that included 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses. With four of the 12 unions that represent half of the 115,000 rail workers holding out for a better deal, it might fall to Congress to impose one to protect the U.S. economy.

Could a rail strike happen next month?
