Under U.S. railroad law, Congress can vote to impose a settlement on the unions.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that in the event of a strike, the lame duck Congress will do exactly that.
Coming during the Christmas break for Congress, this vote in Congress to force a settlement may not be as quick as we think.
I didn’t know there was a special situation with railroads. Thanks for the knowledge. But still, unions being unions, can they all get sick or slow-roll shipments?
