Regarding the Teamsters port strike. Mr Ninga [View all]

and I have had a heated discussion regarding the power Biden had or doesn’t to get Teamsters back to work.
Mr Ninga says Biden can use executive order and claim the strike harms national security and or claim anything he wants to as President.
I say Pres Biden has no leverage to get workers back on the job.
Thoughts?
