In September, rail workers threatened to strike after the election if they could not agree to a new contract with railroad companies, which would result in substantial problems for the U.S. economy and its already challenged supply chain. Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil says that the economy could take a dual hit if diesel shortages persist and rail unions strike.
Biden announced he had struck a tentative deal with the railroad unions that the workers cannot strike until after a so-called cooling-off period in late November, right after the midterm elections
- Steil urged Washington to go back to pro-energy policies that had made America energy independent under Donald Trump
- "We got to change the policies of the Biden administration," Steil said. "That's a number one job for Congress when we come in. We need to unleash American energy."
