The threat of a highly powerful railway labor strike continues to loom,
https://onlabor.org/november-10-2022/
Third paragraph.
The threat of a highly powerful railway labor strike continues to loom, but the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division has announced it will not be striking earlier than December 4, aligning dates with the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen. The BMWE had previously announced it could begin a strike by November 20 at the earliest. Both unions rejected the tentative agreement that the Biden administration had helped broker earlier this year largely due to a lack of paid sick leave provisions. The two largest rail unions are continuing to vote on the agreement; if either of the unions reject the agreement, BMWE stated the strike date is likely to be further delayed to build power across the unions, educate a Congress currently on recess, and unify to a single strike date.
