(INDIANAPOLIS) — Indiana Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kevin Brinegar comments on the tentative agreement reached between the nation’s largest rail companies and respective unions to avoid a rail strike that could have cost the economy an estimated $2 billion per day.
“We’re grateful an agreement appears to have been reached in order to keep our rail system operating and avoid a monumental economic disruption at a time when supply chains are already pressured.
“Such a strike would have caused serious pain to Indiana as one of the most manufacturing and agriculture-intensive states in the country, especially as harvest season approaches.”
