I believe the relevant part that should interest us are: 1)that they were released to the cool down period despite the economic consequences of a possible strike, 2)the establishment of a PEB by the president, 3)the willingness of congressional republicans to impose the PEB recommendations, 4)the democrats blocking it, and 5) the same PEB recommendations being used by the administration as the basis for the deal made at the table anyway.

Of particular interest to me is that Senator Sanders blocked the republicans’ bill that would’ve imposed the PEB recommendations. Which the Biden administration essentially forced the union negotiators to take.

But it may not be over yet as all the unions have to vote on this proposal. So we may yet see congress involved?
