"Biden's Philadelphia Visit: Green Jobs, Labor Support, and Economic Agenda"

President Biden visited the Philly Shipyard to court organized labor and promote green jobs, emphasizing that unions will play a crucial role in building America's renewable energy future. However, tensions are rising between unions and companies as the economy evolves, with concerns about AI, clean energy, and e-commerce impacting traditional work. Major unions, including the Writers Guild, Screen Actors Guild, United Auto Workers, and Teamsters, are considering strikes over issues such as streaming revenues, job protections in new industries, and fair pay. While Biden supports collective bargaining, a series of strikes could harm the economy and his reelection chances. The president is focused on expanding unionization into new industries and attracting younger workers to the labor movement. Unions played a significant role in Biden's election victory, but he also aims to compete in sunbelt states where investments in new industries are being made. The AFL-CIO believes that Biden's investments in manufacturing, infrastructure, and clean energy will lead to more union jobs.
