Railroad worker strike incoming - shortages about to get critical

• RailwayAge.com
Speculation is that rail labor seeks to throw the dispute before Congress while traditionally labor-friendly Democrats still control the House and Senate. Labor's two coalitions, speaking for all 12 unions, said in a statement, "We are urging our members to begin reaching out to their U.S. senators and House Representatives to voice their support for a labor-friendly PEB, and if necessary, labor-friendly legislation to bring this round of bargaining to a successful conclusion. The time to make our collective voices heard is now!" That is a risky strategy.
