Gov. JB Pritzker was asked about the strike as Illinois is a major hub for all Class 1 railroads. "Railroads are extremely important, especially right now because we are having trouble with barges on the Mississippi [River]. We have got to do something. We can not have a situation in which the supply chain is cut off because there is a mass railroad strike."
