economic impact could be more than seven billion dollars, marking the costliest in modern times. not to mention customer losses and lost wages in the billions. so plenty of pr can imagine, on both parties at this time. still, today marks a step forward as they are both back at the bargaining table. reggie: thank you, amanda. more developing news for union workers, fedex pilots rejected a tentative deal that included a 30% raise. the agreement also had an equal boost in pension benefits. it's unclear what the major union objections were here. the union says it is going back to the bargaining table. kumasi: supporters of the hollywood actors strike are planning on rallying outside of san francisco city hall. members are striking over streaming residuals, the impact of ai technology and earnings.
