U.S. President Biden said at the White House yesterday that the temporary labor agreement reached was a huge victory for both the United States and negotiations. The protocol will maintain the normal operation of a key railway system and avoid interference with our economy.
Railway transportation accounts for about 30%of the total freight in the United States. The US Railway Association (AAR) previously estimated that if the strike occurred, the US economy would lose up to $ 2 billion daily. It will also trigger a series of transportation issues that affect US energy, agriculture, manufacturing and retail.
The US Railway Association issued a statement yesterday that according to the Presidential Emergency Committee (PEB) No. 250, the temporary agreement will provide 24%of the wage growth of members of the railway union from 2020 to 2024, and after approval Union members pay $ 1,1,000.

A few days ago, due to the possibility of strikes, several major railways in the United States formulated emergency plans and suspended some freight services. Given that the temporary agreement has been reached and the strike on Friday is avoided, the US railway company is working hard to resume operations quickly. (Review in the past: U.S. railway workers may conduct major strikes, railway companies have suspended freight services)
In the latest update of the Norfolk South Railway Company: "We are immediately taking action to restore normal operations and resume services that have been cut due to expected strikes." Essence
The BNSF Railway Corporation also said it will continue to operate normally. Earlier, the company announced the suspension of receiving temperature -controlled container goods and dangerous goods and safety sensitive goods. Unite Pacific Railway Corporation (UP) stated in the service update that it has canceled the embargo on safe -sensitive and time -sensitive products, and is working with customers to solve the backlog of goods.
In addition, because the temporary agreement needs to be approved by members of the railway union (approximately 115,000), the union members will decide whether to approve these agreements by voting. During this period, the union members will not be able to strike.
The negotiations between the railway company and the 12 railway workers and trade unions have lasted for more than two years. In July this year, the Bayeng government appointed the emergency committee to help break the deadlock. In fact, the balance of work and life and the controversial attendance system are one of the crux of negotiation. The new temporary agreement contains the issues that the attendance system and other workers' association negotiations want to solve.
Matthew Shay, the chairman and CEO of the National Retail Federation, said: "We have to avoid being pleased and cautious about this devastating national railway strike. When uncertain challenge consumers budget and make corporate elasticity face risks, these companies and consumers will be affected by (strike). "
"We hope that railway workers can accept the new terms of the proposed contract. The railway system can continue to operate normally for millions of hard -working American people. Their work and national economic security depend on it."
