‘No path’ forward: Biden calls on Congress to avert rail strike

President Joe Biden on Monday asked Congress to intervene to prevent an economically crippling freight rail strike, even though it means delivering a defeat to his allies in the labor movement.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi immediately announced she will call a vote this week to carry out Biden’s request, which will mean that paid sick leave for the 115,000 workers involved in negotiations won’t be included in the deal.
Biden had held out for months on seeking congressional action, instead opting to give the freight rail industry and 12 of its unions more time to negotiate a contract. But as warnings mounted that a strike could begin as soon as Dec. 9, threatening to interrupt U.S. power and water supplies and devastate the broader economy, the pro-labor, pro-rail president said Monday that he saw “no path to resolve the dispute at the bargaining table.”

On Monday, Biden asked that Congress act “without any modifications or delay” to impose the September settlement.

How come it never goes right when Biden is involved?
Answer: Biden is an incompetent politcian who became the illegitimate president of the USA!

A good chunk of why there is no path is that dipshit pushed forward negotiations offering cash instead of the leave the unions wanted IIRC.

Yeah…these two things can’t co-exist just because you try to speak it in to existence.

I hope these guys refuse to go to work.
Threatening people isn't going to work.
If they stick together they will get what they want in 1 week.
The government dosent have the man power or competent work force to keep things moving short term.

It’s going to be interesting come next week when he has to issue a statement demanding unions go back to work, him being a big supporter of unions and all !

The rail workers should tell xiden* and congress to go and phuck themselves.
