Minnesota farmers and businesses dependent on rail relieved after strike is averted

Minnesota's rail-dependent farmers and businesses sighed with relief Thursday after union and railroad leaders reached a labor agreement, averting a strike that would have dealt another blow to the nation's already precarious economy.

President Joe Biden announced the tentative deal after a marathon 20-hour negotiating session at the Labor Department, one day before the threatened walkout.

"This agreement is validation of what I've always believed - unions and management can work together ... for the benefit of everyone," Biden said at the White House.
