The agreement, which was announced early on Thursday, ensures that a strike that had been due to begin after midnight on Friday will no longer take place.
The deal includes a 24% wage increase and $5,000 bonuses, as well as changes to existing policies on time off which had been a crucial sticking point for workers.

[Biden said], "We reached an agreement that will keep our critical rail system working and avoid disruptions of our economy[.]"
A disruption in our economy? Well, we don't want disruptions in our fantastic booming economy. Bidenomics! Build Back Better! Woo-Hoo!
