President Biden Calls On Congress To Prevent Potential Rail Strike

The video discusses the potential economic impact of a railroad shutdown in the U.S. President Biden urges Congress to impose a tentative deal between rail workers and operators to prevent a strike. The deal includes a 24% pay raise and improved health benefits, but some unions have rejected it. A strike could lead to significant job losses and disrupt industries.
