Manufacturers and retailers are urging President Biden to invoke the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act to suspend a dockworkers' strike that has affected 36 U.S. ports. This law allows the president to seek a court order for an 80-day cooling-off period to facilitate negotiations, but Biden has stated he will not intervene. Historically, presidents have used this act in labor disputes with mixed results, as it is largely opposed by labor unions.
