Is this good news?

Any deal still would have to be approved, no? I'll hope for the best but hold off on celebrating. There'll be pushback from people who believe it isn't enough, and there'll certainly be the usual suspects hoping to increase the likelihood of a no vote before the election.

Does this mean a strike will still happen?

Of course, the deal still has to be ratified.

And from some anecdotal reports, the sick leave is essential but it doesn't exactly solve all of the livability issues that the rail carrier's draconian attendance policies have created.

But for now, it's an improvement, and Biden didn't blink.

Yeah, I'm skeptical of the Democrats prematurely celebrating over this. From what I'm hearing on social media, this isn't a done deal. Remember, if you want to credit Biden with the deal, then you can't complain if people blame him if it falls apart.

How would you rate the chances of a strike?
