Pelosi says bill to resolve rail strike will be on floor after White House meeting

After meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Congress would take up a bill to avert a rail strike.

Biden has called on railway workers to accept a labor contract brokered by the White House in September, warning that a strike threatens “crippling” disruption. The president has said Congress should urgently pass legislation forcing workers to adopt the deal.
