--President Biden made calls to union leaders and rail companies
on Monday, pressing for a deal to avert a national railroad strike
that could shut down much of the country's transportation
infrastructure, the Washington Post reported.
--Biden administration officials have also started preparing for
a potential shutdown, warning that a strike could seriously damage
the U.S. economy, the report said, citing two people familiar with
the matter.
--Biden's calls follow unsuccessful emergency meetings at the
White House last week, which have been led by the White House
National Economic Council and included Labor Secretary Marty Walsh.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is also involved in trying
to broker the impasse, the Washington Post reported.
--The nationwide rail shutdown is set to go into effect after
midnight on Friday, and labor and management have been at an
impasse over issues such a sick time and penalties for missing
work. It would be the first such strike in about three decades, the
report said.
