Walsh Says Congress Could Step in If No Rail Worker Deal Is Reached

The transcript discusses the status of agreements between rail companies and unions, highlighting that six out of twelve contracts have been ratified, with four still pending and two rejected. The speaker is not directly involved in negotiations but actively communicates with company representatives and unions. If agreements are not reached, Congress may need to intervene, as outlined by the Railway Act, with the President having the authority to form an emergency board.

How many unions have ratified the contracts, and how many are still pending?

What role does Congress play if the unions do not ratify the contracts?
