The Biden administration is confronting the complicated politics and limited toolkit of a work stoppage.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are “closely monitoring” the strike and any supply chain impacts that could result.

Republicans on the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee urged Biden administration to “utilize every authority at its disposal to ensure the continuing flow of goods and avoid undue harm to Americans ”.

A one-week strike would cost the US economy about $2.1 billion , a research firm says.

The severity of the economic impact will depend on the length of the strike.

The situation could test the messaging of Harris , who has sought to convince voters she’ll improve their economic standing.

The Biden administration has taken steps to examine the impact of a strike and develop plans to address any supply chain issues.
