🚢 Update: Almond Exports Impacts?
Last week I shared the news with you about a possible rail strike that would cause major issues to the supply chain, impacting almonds exports more specifically the Almond Express.
An update for you.
Earlier this week President Biden requested Congress' intervention. Specifically for the House to vote to block the rail strike despite labor objections.
Well, the House voted today and passed a bill to avert a railway strike, taking a major step in avoiding a walkout of rail workers that would have drastic effects on the US economy ahead of the holidays.
Crisis nearly averted. The bill will now go to the Senate, where it's expected to pass.
