Is the President surprised to see that these — so many of these — obviously, not all of them, but 4 out of the 12 of these unions have actually rejected a deal which he tried to sell as a strong deal for labor, for these workers involved?""

So that was important that it was — we were able to prevent that. This administration, it worked to bring unions and rail companies together to reach that agreement. And it kept our rail system working and prevented a disruption, again, to our economy. So that was an important moment as well.
