In comments to reporters following a meeting with President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that a bill to avoid a rail strike will be brought to the floor on Wednesday.
She added that the bill could be on the floor âas early as 9 [AM ET]â and believes the bill will be passed. 
âI donât like going against the ability of unions to strike,â Pelosi said. âBut weighing the equities, we must avoid a strikeâ¦We could lose 750K jobs, some of them union jobs. That must be avoided.â 
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer added in his own comments that he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed upon the importance of passing a bill swiftly.
