People in developed countries tend to take infrastructure for granted because they've grown up in countries and cities which have top infrastructure, be it railroads, roads, bridges, tunnels or even telecom. However, only a small, privileged percentage of the total global population enjoys this kind of security, with most developing nations struggling to build even basic, durable infrastructure which is also intrinsic to the success of any nation's economy.

The railroad in the U.S. is integral to continuing operations in the country and a shutdown would cause billions of dollars' worth of damage. All four of the major railroads in the country, three of which are in our list of the top infrastructure companies in US, reported some form of records profits in the previous year.
There are several issues which have governed the current railroad crisis which is threatening to spiral out of control. Railroad workers are governed under the Railway Labor Act which imposes restrictions on when unions can strike, as opposed to most other unions in the country which are under no such obligation. Because of a breakdown in negotiations where railway management and the unions couldn't agree on a new deal, President Biden ordered the unions to not go on strike and instead, engage in a 60-day cooling off period as both sides would present proposals to the President in order to reach a better deal. At the forefront of this issue is sick leaves.
On the 1st of December 2022, the Senate rejected a proposal which would give railroad workers seven days of paid sick leaves. Immediately after, President Biden signed a bill which would prevent the railroad workers from striking as that would devastate the country's economy.
