Description
President Joe Biden could potentially face multiple labor strikes within
a matter of months or even weeks, threatening his long-term clean energy
goals, pro-labor union image, and 2024 political ambitions. POLITICO’s
Zack Colman takes us inside the president’s rocky relationship with Big
Labor and the political and climate stakes. Plus, a federal court has
overturned EPA's order requiring the troubled St. Croix refinery to
undergo a costly, multiyear permitting process to restart operations.
