The president should have nothing except an unofficial advisory role, at best, about any strike unless it is a total war situation. It is not a proscribed power.
I don’t think Biden will intervene in this case. It’s one company that’s going on strike, not a whole system of transportation. The economic impact will be significant but limited, as there are others that will pick up what slack they can.
Of course, this means that to preserve the right to strike we need to break companies up so they’re not too big to fail.
If they do interfere I hope the Teamsters go full Teamster on the government.
Why would they? They’re a private company, the government has absolutely zero business interfering in a labor dispute with private companies, unless of course they want to acknowledge that they do have power over private businesses like these to regulate them. In which case they should fucking nationalize them and throw the execute board in jail.
You mean like when they intervened when the rail workers tried to go on strike?

They better not intervene m, unless they’re going to compel UPS to meet the union’s demands
Nah just like they did with the railroad workers dispute. They will side with the corporate boards.
They kept working on it. Railroad workers got paid sick leave 6 weeks ago.
Biden was trying to appease corpos, he was trying not to have inflation explode and kick of a recession. Restricted supply was one of the big drivers of inflation, and more of that had every economist freaked out.
and more of that had every economist freaked out.
And? It isn’t like economics is a science or that economists are on our side. Almost all of them pushed for and apologize for the bailouts.
I hope they strike anyway. I’m tired of this shit. Corporations are never held accountable
LOL if UPS drivers strike I hope fedEx drivers join them and I hope the USPS does too
it’s torches and pitchforks for everyone lol
