Biden announces tentative rail labor deal reached, averting looming strike for Metrolink and Amtrak services.
SAN DIEGO – President Joe Biden said Thursday that a tentative rail labor agreement has been reached averting a potential strike that would have affected train commuters and supply chains throughout San Diego.
In a statement released Thursday, BIden said the agreement is “an important win for our economy and the American people. It is a win for tens of thousands of rail workers who worked tirelessly through the pandemic to ensure that America*s families and communities got deliveries of what have kept us going during these difficult years.”
“We are hopeful that a resolution will be reached prior to Thursday but as the parties have not yet reached an agreement, we are doing everything we can to notify our customers and provide alternate service options if the rail service is interrupted,” Jason Jewell, interim Managing Director of the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency said on Wednesday. “We have closely coordinated with Amtrak and Metrolink to maximize service options for our customers including providing bus bridges where possible.
Metrolink and Amtrak are not directly involved in the negotiations, but a strike would have an impact on service.
