Durbin Comments On Tentative Agreement Between Labor And Amtrak
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today made the following statement regarding a tentative agreement signed by Amtrak and labor organizations, averting a strike.
"Given the importance of Amtrak service to communities across Illinois, I am pleased that the unions and the railroad were able to come to this agreement to keep passenger rail service in full operation.
Amtrak provides quick, cost-effective, and reliable public ground transportation to 30 communities in the State. Today's agreement helped avert a possible strike that could have affected the more than 3 million people in Illinois who rely on Amtrak's services."
