Tentative railway labor deal reached, averting strike

President Joe Biden says a tentative railway labor agreement has been reached, averting a potentially devastating strike 

Biden said Thursday the tentative deal will keep the “critical rail system” working and avoid economic disruption. 

The president says it's “an important win" for the economy, the American people and tens of thousands of rail workers. 

The president says the rail workers will get better pay, improved working conditions and “peace of mind around their health care costs.”
