💵 Top 10 Highest-Paid CEOs in Freight Brokerage
Inside: FedEx's market triumph, the controversy at Yellow Corp, Waabi and Uber Freight's decade deal, and the hammer comes down on PPP loan-scamming trucker.
We recently reported a short update on supply chain fears surrounding the talks of a potential rail strike this December. Now we’re back to give you a few more details. On Monday, one of the biggest rail unions rejected a deal, becoming the third union that failed to reach contract agreements per PBS news.
Everyone’s fear is so heightened because a strike would send ripples across an already shaky supply chain. Already, President Joe Biden has had to come into the negotiations to try and keep the strikes at bay back in September, but it’s clear now that the rail unions won’t be easily subdued. The president already has to walk a careful line because critics say he is too “pro-union.” At the same time, supporters could be turned off by any aggressive action towards workers.
At this stage, the slight recoveries that we were starting to see this holiday season could be completely wiped out if an agreement isn’t reached and congress does not force any action. We won’t have long to find out, as a strike could happen as early as December 9th.
