These workers care deeply about the wellbeing of our neighbors and are committed to getting passengers to their destinations safely and on time. I urge both sides to work toward a fair and equitable agreement as soon as possible,\u201d said Rep. Sykes.\n\nNegotiations have been ongoing for more than 17 months without resolution, raising concerns that further delays could threaten access to essential transportation.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-sykes-urges-metro-rta-and-twu-local-1-to-reach-contract-agreement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.694813032168895, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
