JUST IN: President Biden Announces 'Tentative' Deal To Avert Rail Strike

Major freight rail companies and unions have struck a tentative deal to avert a damaging national rail strike, President Joe Biden announced early Thursday morning, a boon for his administration ahead of midterm elections and for the U.S. economy, which risked being crippled by widespread industrial action.

The American people, poor and middle class need relief! ASAP

Curious what the potatus is taking credit for? He has nothing to do with negotiating anything between unions and their members, or the companies involved.

Tentative. Without ratification means nothing. Rail workers don’t care about the pay. They want to have time off, 90 percent of their lives on call 24/7 365 is what they deal with and unacceptable. How about fixing that issue. STAND STRONG VOTE NO

Getting credit were he doesn’t have one

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at our hurt:
let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against us.

Causes the fire and rushes in to put it out, Commies.

Gosh, I hope Biden didn't jinx it!

[dullahan]

So was he actually in there negotiating the terms, ahh I dont think so. Labor union bosses and head of companies worked it out. They make it sound like he did it himself.

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.
