09 Nov Renew Kansas signs rail-labor letter addressed to Congress as rail unions extend “cooling off” period
With a potential rail strike still on the horizon, Kansas Grain and Feed Association signed a letter coordinated by GoRail to request congress take action averting a nationwide shutdown.
On Nov. 9, two rail labor unions extended their “status quo” period to Dec. 4, pushing the potential for a strike back to Dec. 9 at the earliest.
To date, seven labor unions have ratified agreements based on the recommendations of the Presidential Emergency Board appointed by President Biden, while three other ratification votes are pending.
