House votes to avert rail strike, impose deal on unions

The measure passed by a vote of 290-137 and now heads to the Senate. If approved there, it will be signed by President Joe Biden, who urged the Senate to act swiftly.

Some 79 Republicans voted with the overwhelming majority of Democrats for the bill binding the parties to the tentative settlement.
