Betcha a dollar that Biden steps in. If the Fed stepped in to end the rail strike, why wouldn't they stop UPS teamsters? UPS moves 6 or 8 percent of the nations gdp every day (or so I've heard).

But they should strike. Working conditions are abysmal for those guys.

Nothing he can do. The rail strike fell under the Railway Labor Act which gives the government the power to force contracts and break strikes. He can try to pull something but the Teamsters aren't fucking around.

I wasn't super informed when that happened, so that's interesting to know.
