As part of the agreement, reached in the early hours this morning, rail workers will receive long-sought benefits. NBC News’ report added that employees “will for the first time be able to take unpaid time off work for routine preventive medical care, union leaders said in a statement.

The tentative pact highlights the labor movement’s growing influence under an administration that has cast itself as a staunch ally of labor, and comes after business groups and political officials warned that a strike would disrupt passenger services and cripple supply chains.
