President Biden met with leaders of the House and Senate to urge them to intervene, saying he is "confident" a rail strike could be avoided.
RELATED: Why rail workers are threatening to strike and how it could affect you
Meeting for the first time with congressional leaders since the midterm elections, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to intervene in a labor dispute between unions and operators of the nation's freight railroads and complete other items on a hefty to-do list before leaving town for the holidays.
"There's a lot to do, including resolving the train strike," Biden said in brief remarks before the news media was ushered out. "It’s not an easy call but I think we have to do it. The economy’s at risk."
Biden wants lawmakers to adopt before a Dec. 9 strike deadline an agreement brokered by the White House in September between labor union leaders and rail operators. Four of the 12 rail unions have voted to reject the five-year agreement, leaving Congress as the last option to avert a system shutdown.

Sleepy is a nonsense president all right, you have a way with words
Let’s not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don’t come from great performances but rather it’s great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important And with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
Trust me she’s awesome! I just cashed out $52,590 this morning with an investment of $5,500. I think I’ll be hitting millions soon.
@Ole Ullrich It’s best you contact her directly but to be honest I invested as low as $1000 because I was skeptical initially. Receiving my profit gave me more confidence to reinvest…. She only charges 10% commission from the overall profit generated

The best thing that room full of former people could do for this country is to leave it.
Good on him remembering where he is. 😂👏
Let them STRIKE! Solidarity. Time to smell the coffee…workers ARE the capital but they are human beings. Meet all of their demands if it is so important. You can own a business but you will never own an industry. Railroads are TRUSTS and we broke TRUSTS in the past and we will do it again.
His brain strike is getting worse
President Biden said today that he intends to legalize polygamy in the United States in 2023, and believes he has the votes in the U. S. Supreme Court. Biden stated he has a law book, a book of authority that he will use in court, that demonstrates marriages should be between more than three persons.
