Amtrak Reaches a Deal with Its Union, Possibly Adverting the Commuter Rail Strike

Well at least there is some good news regarding the commuter rail today.

The AP is reporting that Amtrak may have reached a deal with the union. If this has happened, then the pending January 30th commuter rail strike will probably be averted.

Neither Amtrak nor the Transportation Communications International Union are officially confirming this report.

This could be a good thing for commuters! However, it might be a bad thing for the MBTA/MBCR (because they won't be able to blame the Amtrak strike for their horrible on-time performance).
