Starbucks workers at 100 stores launched a three-day walkout to protest for unionization. Simultaneously, reports from the rail industry indicate that Union Pacific has implemented significant shipping embargoes, leading to an unusual number of empty container carriers moving through ports. These actions suggest ongoing instability in the national supply chain.

A dispute over paid sick time has stalled negotiations between major US freight railroads and their unions, raising the possibility of a strike as early as November 19th. The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees rejected a deal that lacked paid sick leave, potentially halting 30% of the nation's freight. There is speculation regarding the political timing of the strike and its impact on the Biden administration and the upcoming midterms.

A major freight railroad union, the Brotherhood of Maintenance-of-Way Employees, rejected a labor deal previously brokered by the Biden administration. While Biden had "spiked the ball" claiming the strike was averted, workers are still demanding better sick leave and working conditions. A potential strike deadline is now set for November 19th, which could severely impact the holiday supply chain.

President Biden announced a tentative deal to avert a nationwide railroad strike, claiming credit for the negotiations. Critics argue the 24% pay increase over five years is insufficient given current inflation rates and note that Labor Secretary Marty Walsh handled the primary negotiations while Biden remained largely absent from the room.
