WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A majority of the U.S. Home of Representatives on Wednesday backed a invoice to dam a doubtlessly crippling rail strike, however the destiny of a separate proposal by lawmakers to mandate paid sick time stays unsure.
With voting ongoing, greater than 250 members of the Home that with 432 present members had voted in favor of imposing a tentative contract deal reached in September on a dozen unions representing 115,000 staff after President Joe Biden warned of the catastrophic impression of a rail stoppage that might start as early as Dec. 9. A separate vote is deliberate later Wednesday on whether or not to require seven days of paid sick depart.
