Congress is voting this week on a bill that will force a solution to the union dispute for railway workers. This means that if workers unions cannot agree to a resolution, they cannot strike or continue to advocate for themselves because Congress will force their hands. What do they want? Better pay, better working conditions, less rigid scheduling and paid sick time off. A tentative agreement was proposed in September but three of the 12 unions still reject it because paid sick time is not included. If the House and Senate pass a law, then the September proposal will go into effect, disallowing any further disagreement.
