Amtrak cancels ALL long-distance trains (except those along the Northern Corridor) ahead of looming rail strike ‐ affecting as many as 87,000 customers each day
2022-09-15
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Amtrak, the nation's cross-country railway system, is canceling all of its long-distance trains ahead of a planned freight workers' strike

  • Unions representing engineers and conductors are set to go on strike Friday if they do not get more quality-of-life provisions in their contracts

  • The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers also announced on Wednesday that its 4,900 members voted to reject a deal its leaders reached with freight railroad companies

  • A strike would effectively shut down the country's freight train industry

  • Doing so would cost the country an estimated $2 billion a day and send inflation soaring

  • The Biden administration is now scrambling to get the unions to accept a deal
