INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Here’s a look at Tuesday’s business headlines with Jane King.
CSX employees: More needed in railroad deal
Some CSX railroad workers say more will be needed to get their approval of last week’s railroad deal that averted a strike.
While union leadership is supporting the agreement, at least some rank-and-file workers are less enthusiastic, based on social media posts and conversations with employees at CSX Corp.
One CSX worker told business journals that the deal will “get jammed down their throats, but it’s garbage.”
It could take weeks to ratify the contract, and the unions have agreed not to strike while that process is ongoing.
Midwestern states create hydrogen coalition
Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have set up a Midwestern Hydrogen Coalition.

The governors pledged in a memorandum of understanding to seek infrastructure investments, align incentive programs, cooperate on workforce development programs, work together to obtain federal funding, and remove barriers to hydrogen development, among other things.
