Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Right now it looks like 50/50 or worse possibility. I hear that Amtrak is canceling long trips due to likelihood of a strike. I believe Congress can theoretically intervene but I don't see that happening ahead of an election but I'm a resident pessimist so YMMV.
Obviously the news is out - no strike. But I think the actions of Amtrak and clearing the system of hazardous good were more pragmatic than predictive.
