Nearly 5,000 railway workers at the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) voted to reject a tentative contract agreement with railroads and authorize a strike, the union said Wednesday.
IAM members are the first to approve a strike and reject a contract based on recommendations released by a White House-appointed board last month.
