Buttigieg claims a rail strike would force Americans to boil their water and the economy would grind to a halt – as unions, Democrats and Republicans go to battle over paid sick leave
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the economy would face dire consequences if U.S. railroads were to shut down from a strike
Said Americans would have to boil their water or get bottled water because ‘water treatment plants would run out of the supplies’
Claimed there would be 765,000 layoffs and the auto industry would shut down
Buttigieg will speak with senators today to push them to vote for a House bill that forces rail workers to accept a deal struck with the White House in September
