Kansas Grain and Feed Association has joined more than 100 state and national level organizations in signing a letter urging President Joe Biden’s administration to continue working with the railroads and union officials to ensure an agreed-upon mid-September rail labor contract is ratified.
To date, six of the 12 unions have ratified the agreement, however, there are concerns a strike could still take place which would have devastating consequences on the economy.
