Two largest U.S. rail unions to report contract vote Monday
Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen voted to ratify the agreement while train and engine service members the transportation division of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers voted to reject the deal. SMART-TD yardmasters voted to ratify their national agreement, the unions said Monday.
"The ball is now in the railroads’ court. Let’s see what they do. They can settle this at the bargaining table," said SMART-TD President Jeremy Ferguson said in a statement. "This can all be settled through negotiations and without a strike." Beginning on Dec. 9, SMART-TD would be allowed to go on strike or the rail carriers would be permitted to lock out workers — unless Congress intervenes.The standoff between U.S. railroad operators and their union workers disrupted flows of hazardous materials such as chemicals used in fertilizer andservice in September as railroads prepared for a possible work stoppage.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last month "any shutdown would be completely unacceptable. It is the responsibility of the parties involved to resolve this issue."
