WATCHLIVE: President Biden is delivering remarks after taking a tour of a Philadelphia shipyard.
Despite Biden's optimism, business and labor are at a dangerous impasse over who will benefit from the changing economy.
The Teamsters are threatening a strike by 340,000 UPS workers if a deal is not reached with the delivery company by July 31. As more Americans shop online, UPS drivers say they need air conditioning in more trucks and equal pay for weekend shifts. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien has asked Biden not to get in the middle of negotiations.
Biden spent part of this week focused on efforts to expand unionization into new industries. On Monday, he met with younger workers trying to unionize at Starbucks, minor league baseball, bus-maker Blue Bird and Sega. Labor Department data shows that workers under age 35 are much less likely to belong to a union than their older peers, meaning that the future of the union movement might depend on bringing in younger generations.
