I appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box early Tuesday morning, July 25, to discuss the state of the unions during this "strike summer." With anchor Becky Quick and the Cato Institute's Scott Lincicome, I talked about the ongoing negotiations between the Teamsters and UPS and the UAW's talks with the Big Three automakers, as well as the Hollywood strikes and the general state of worker activism in the United States.
I also addressed the question that is buzzing around the White House press corps right now about whether President Joe Biden will intervene in any of these strikes, particularly the potential Teamsters strike against UPS. You should watch what I have to say below, but also read my full analysis here.
Finally, Becky invited me to make predictions about whether the Teamsters and UAW would strike. With a huge caveat at the beginning of my commentary, I offered those predictions. Watch the clip to see what I said.
