The key word your missing is "tenative" before the word agreement. That missing word means something like..........it is not fully voted on or accepted yet.

I just did a fast Internet "News" Search on this subject...No current News..only news dated from weeks back... I would certainly hope your reportage is spot-on! IMHO; This country does not need this kind of event at this 'time' of the year...
Not to mention, there are reports that the Airline Industry is also being threatened by a similar(?) strike; regarding, its flight personnel(?) As to the OP's entry, some kind of 'linked' article would be of interest, as well.
Only news I know of is the machinist union approved the tentative agreement.
Ballots are currently out for the conductors and engineers.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.
Unless there's been a change, a few unions have rejected their tentative agreements. The signalmen for one. I've lost track on which unions have accepted or rejected their TAs.

EuclidThe news media played that to sound like the whole thing was finally settled with an actual agreement, despite the word, “tentative.”
Yup,.....ehhh, what happens Tuesday that they might be trying to influence?

I think I found an article in POLITICO which is an opinion based news source.
This is the current and correct status as I posted on another thread:
52% of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers members who voted approved their deal, seven railroad unions have ratified contracts that include 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses, but all 12 have to approve contracts to prevent a strike." [Chicago Tribune, 11/6]
AFAIK, two rejected agreementso three votes remaining. In most unions, there must be a vote to authorize a work stoppage.
EuclidSo 7 unions have ratified, and 5 have not. What are the details of the process that the 5 are engaged in right now?

The following are expected ratification dates for each union but these dates are subject to change:
PS. That rail labor facts website linked above is a PR mouthpiece of the carriers - so exercise due dilligence, of course.
