TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden may soon face multiple major workers' strikes that could disrupt the economy ahead of the presidential election. The United Auto Workers (UAW) is withholding support from Biden due to concerns over subsidies for electric vehicles without higher wages and protections. The Teamsters of UPS and actors and writers in Hollywood are also considering strikes. Biden's limited tools to address the issue and the delicate balance between supporting labor unions and facing off against Donald Trump pose a challenge. The UAW and Teamsters have new leadership that is more militant, and Biden's relationship with them is still developing. The election and pressure from both the right and left on Biden's handling of electric cars further complicate the situation.
