We call on President Biden to invoke Taft-Hartley and keep U.S. ports open during negotiations. https://lnkd.in/evK6Q3Fx

Recently, some policymakers have proposed raising the corporate income tax from 21% to 28%. Studies have shown that raising the corporate income tax would not only reduce economic output and wage growth but also increase consumer prices.
