A major rail strike is averted

A major rail strike has been averted. That’s the early morning statement from the White House. Here’s why this matters: Virtually everything in our country -- from food to gas and retail goods -- relies on the nearly 140,000-mile rail network that expands across 49 states. But the tens of thousands of freight workers and their unions appear to have reached an agreement. And, Minnesota nurses stage a the three-day walk out. Plus, Latinos are reclaiming the accent mark as a show of cultural pride. Guests: Axios' Emily Peck, Torey Van Oot and Astrid Galván. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Robin Linn, Fonda Mwangi, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.

Go deeper: 15,000 Minnesota nurses go on strike in Twin Cities, Duluth Latinos are reclaiming the accent mark
