Railroad strike looms over holidays after major union rejects deal
Free Vulcan:
An influential railroad worker union rejected a Biden-brokered labor deal Monday morning, raising the prospect of a strike before the holidays.
Why it matters: The deal's failure is a setback for the White House, which brokered and sold it as a big win in September.
Driving the news: SMART Transportation Division, the union that represents rail conductors, voted against the deal. The rail workers can strike after Dec. 9 if the two sides don't reach an agreement.
After that date, a strike could happen at any moment — unless lawmakers step in to implement a cooling-off period or even force the workers to accept a deal.

I guess the dementia stricken POTUS doesn't understand the concept of the deal a'int sealed until it is signed on the dotted line.
What a fool.

But Sniffy is a mafia tough guy. You're gonna sign that deal or he's gonna punch you in the face.
Oops, guess not.

The election is over. Brandon could care less. His deal with the union was to wait until afterward, just like the one he tried to do with the Saudis on the oil production cut (which backfired).
