This longshoreman strike will get ugly

This dude is part of the negotiating team. It could get ugly

Biden HAS to shut this down. The last thing Harris' campaign needs is an economic wrecking ball.

But then, the unions will be severely disappointed by the "most union-friendly administration in history" if Biden interferes, which he has the legal authority to do.

What will ol' Joe do? Support the union and give the election to Trump (and ruin Christmas in the process)?

Or stop the strike and face the consequences from his union pals?

I started a thread on this topic last week and no one cared enough to post

I’d give it about a week or two and everyone will soon be aware of just how severe a strike is gonna be

Joe has already come out and said he’s not going to get involved and believes that the government has no place in stepping into collective bargaining.

Depends on how long it goes IMO.

All those goods should have a 20% tariff anyways, this will just get us used to it

management from one entity or multiple entities?

The United States Maritime Alliance, or USMX, which represents major ocean freight and port operators

So people are going to lose their jobs after two weeks of a slow down and after three weeks malls are going to close, per the guy in the video? Lol.

I love it. Time to get some pay back into the middle class hands. Eff the corporations.

Union folks mostly vote for the Dear Leader anyway.

The Teamsters had to awkwardly not endorse Harris because too many rank and file members support Trump.

Bonespurs says, I hope this is a long and ugly strike. Good for me, but not good for America. But hey that'll ultimately make America great again right?

Would love the holidays to be ruined!

This is really getting out of control. It was cute when it was just the Starbucks baristas going on strike, but now it's hotel workers, highly-paid machinists at Boeing, nurses, and now the Longshoremen.... get while the getting is good, I guess.

Why? No one ever buys you a Christmas gift?

 

[TailgateTom]

Great idea. Screw the middle class with your little fit. Shut up and go to work.

That’s not the reason. State chapters of the Teamsters Union quickly endorsed her, including in most all swing states.

Imagine YOUR union endorsing the candidate who you are not for, and spending your dues money in doing so.
