It's a couple of days old, but with the strike now coming due, I thought this was important:

A White House official on Thursday reiterated that President Joe Biden does not intend to invoke a federal law known as the Taft-Hartley Act to prevent a strike.

"We encourage all parties to come to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith," the official said.

"Senior officials from the White House, Labor Department, and Department of Transportation are in touch with the parties and delivering the message to them directly."
