that threatens an economic nightmare before Christmas after key unions voted to reject a deal brokered by the White House earlier this year.

Eight freight rail unions — including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen the second-largest rail union — have voted to adopt the deal.AP/Manuel Balce Ceneta Workers represented by several groups have refused to ratify an agreement, along with three other unions.As many as 765,000 Americans could be put out of work in the first two weeks of a rail strike, according to the White House, which also said that parts of the country could lose access to chemicals that clean drinking water and feed for livestock.

“As we consider Congressional action, we must recognize that railroads have been selling out to Wall Street to boost their bottom lines, making obscene profits while demanding more and more from railroad workers,” Pelosi said. “We are reluctant to bypass the standard ratification process for the Tentative Agreement — but we must act to prevent a catastrophic nationwide rail strike, which would grind our economy to a halt.

No guts Biden.

Where is our Secretary of Transportation (the second openly gay cabinet member)? What is he doing to solve the problem ? 🚂
