The work stoppage could kick in as early as Friday, Sept. 16, at midnight. Commuters who depend on Amtrak and Metrolink could be impacted.
Rail companies have expressed major concerns about their ability to deliver goods to businesses that need them if the strike takes place, and a growing number of business groups are lobbying Congress to be prepared to intervene and block a strike if they can't reach an agreement, the AP reported."I work downtown, I live two hours away, so yes it would impact my job," said one Los Angeles woman.
Metrolink service could also be impacted along stretches of their Orange County, Inland Empire, Riverside and Ventura County lines, with complete or partial service cancellation. Due to a potential work stoppage by freight railroad worker unions, Metrolink service may be affected beginning Friday, Sept. 16. Alternate transportation would not be provided. Please visit
