With the UAW strike is in Day 4 and and government shutdown looming, Neil Bradley, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President joins us to discuss the "ripple effects" of both on the U.S economy. Bradley states that agreement to the demands made by UAW could lead to higher consumer costs and the Big Three becoming less competitive. Bradley says the Biden Administration is prioritizing a “whole of government approach,” which he fears could lead to an "imbalance in the management-labor relationship."
House Republicans have released a short-term bill that would avert a shutdown until the end of October. Bradley insists that a shutdown is a “choice” and worries that government shutdowns are becoming ”way too common.” Bradley warns the implications for the economy could be serious and hurtful for companies and individuals that rely on the government for permits or any sort of documents in order to run their businesses.
