Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Biden administration officials are meeting with port operators ahead of a possible strike at East and Gulf coast ports, ahead of a Monday deadline when a union contract expires. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su and Lael Brainard, director of White House National Economic Council, are telling ports officials that they should be at the table with the union and negotiating. That’s according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to discuss an ongoing meeting.
