America’s Economy Braces For Train Wreck
America is facing a major issue.
It has now been learned that there is possibility of a massive union strike happening which comprises of a whopping 90,000 railroad workers which could destroy countless American businesses.
According to CNN Business, Railroad unions are expected to go on strike on September 16th. If this strike happens then an astounding 30% of the nation’s freight will be halted.
Economists believe if this happens it could truly be the last nail in America’s coffin when it comes to the economy. President Biden’s economy which is struggling to stay afloat simply cannot afford to have railroad workers go on strike and it would spell doom for millions of American businesses.
John Drake, vice president for transportation, infrastructure and supply chain policy, explained, “We’re hearing more and more that shippers and the railroads are getting anxious.”
Railroad Workers United, an organization representing railroad workers, says 96% of the nearly 3,200 rail workers surveyed are prepared to #Strike once they are legally allowed to on or after SEPTEMBER 16! ⚠️#Rail moves 33% of all U.S. exports & 40% of long distance freight pic.twitter.com/bQA790gGbL

This is a cataclysmic storm that is brewing for President Biden and the United States economy. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is probably praying to the almighty heavens that this doesn’t happen.
