OMA to Congress: Prevent Shutdown of Rail System

On Sept. 15, the Biden administration announced a tentative agreement had been reached to avert a railway workers strike. The strike would have severely impacted the manufacturing sector and national economy, as noted in this story by the Toledo Blade.

The possible strike was prominently on the OMA’s radar. On Sept. 12, the OMA and seven other business groups representing Midwest manufacturers sent a letter to Capitol Hill, urging congressional action, if necessary, to prevent a shutdown of the nation’s railways. 9/15/2022
