WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A shutdown of U.S. rail lines would be “unacceptable,” because it would harm workers, families and businesses, a White House official said on Monday after the nation’s largest rail union voted against a contract deal, raising the possibility of a strike.

The best option is still for the parties to resolve this themselves, the official said.
