There is a good chance that Congress will pass a law mandating terms for a new contract and and prohibiting a strike.  In an election year, terms are likely to be quite favorable to labor.

Amtrak threatening to strike?  Saw this on one of the wire services.  Amtrak ready to walk off the job as early as 01-30-08.  Is this rumor of fact?   

I hope they are not asking for more money.Confused [%-)]

Why else would anyone go on strike? Sign - Dots [#dots]
