Biden’s fear of strikes led to a deal with railroad workers

According to IRNA, quoted by France 24 TV channel, Joe Biden U.S. railroad companies and unions reached an agreement in principle to avert widespread weekend strikes across the country, the White House said in a statement Thursday.

The statement claimed: The tentative agreement reached tonight (local time) is an important victory for our economy and the American people.

The statement adds: Accordingly, railway workers will receive better pay and working conditions and peace of mind regarding health care costs.

The French news agency also analyzed the agreement reached and its impact on the upcoming elections in this country, and wrote: The American government was heavily involved in obtaining this agreement and preventing the scenario that could have occurred if it was not realized; Because in the case of widespread strikes, the travel chain and the supply of commercial goods in the United States will be disrupted, and in less than 2 months before the mid-term elections, this government will lose a lot of things politically.
