 July 6, 2023 | NEGOTIATIONS | With a nationwide Teamster strike at United Parcel Service (UPS) seeming more likely by the day, it should not come as a surprise to anyone if the Biden Administration steps in to try to help broker a last-minute deal… As the strike deadline draws nearer and given the potential risk to the economy, it would seem likely that the Biden Administration will, at some point, inject itself into the negotiations or risk invoking Taft-Hartley to stop the Teamsters from striking—a politically risky move at best. Regarding labor relations, Joe Biden is not a laissez-faire President and he has been very vocal in his support of labor unions. Generally, though, despite having the legal power under the Taft-Hartley Act to stop labor disputes that could harm the economy, most U.S. Presidents do not involve themselves in private-sector negotiations.
