I got a hand-out this morning at Washington DC's Union Station saying that an Amtrak shutdown "is on its way". The flyer talks about the Board of Directors and the engineers and maintenance of way workers, who are apparantly Teamsters. Finally, the flyer encourages us to have our Congressman tell David Gunn to bargain with the union. They apparantly didn't get the news.
I was looking for a little more info. Is there really a looming Amtrak strike? I thought they were, if not barred by law from striking, at least required to announce a 60-day cooling-off period which can be extended indefinitely...
And, not knowing fully how the relationship works... if there is an Amtrak strike, how will that affect the MARC Penn and MARC Camden (CSX) commuter lines?
Thanks.
