Southern Californians who depend on Metrolink and Amtrak may need to find a new way to get from point A to point B if a strike can't be averted.
In the United States, 12 unions represent tens of thousands of rail workers. While a majority of the unions have agreed to tentative deals three continue to hold out and are seeking more predictable schedules and work conditions.
While Metrolink and Amtrak do not have direct ties to the negotiations, if a deal is not reached by the deadline both companies will be forced to close some lines and cancel trips. For Amtrak, riders in Orange County can continue to catch a train to Oceanside and Fullerton at no additional charge. Commuters will need to use Amtrak's bus service to go from Fullerton to Los Angeles.The potential strike could not only impact commuters but the ports of Los Angeles and Long beach, two major pieces of the nation's infrastructure that heavily rely on trains to move cargo. If a strike happened, an estimated 30% of all U.S.
If the strike were to happen, containers would only be able to be taken out of the truck which would lead to an increased economic crunch.
