I heard the Port Workers Head Negotiator on Fox.........
It's like he was taunting the whole country and gloating that so many people in effected industries would be laid off, "and then they would realize how important port workers were."
A real president would have headed this whole thing off, brought everyone to the table and worked it out.
They need the Union Vote, along with the LGBTQ vote, the lazy teacher vote, the anti police vote, the people that want transgender illegal immigrants in prison to have sex change surgery on our tax $ vote and every other fringe weird group vote that all added up could make the difference in an election vote. No, a real President would Invoke the " Taft–Hartley Act of 1947 " and be done with it.

Would love for some reporter to ask that douch nozzle if he cares about their strike affecting crucial relief supplies reaching the hurricane survivors.

Start taking apps now. Fill the jobs. Biden should send in military to work until then but of course he won’t.

Would love for some reporter to ask that douch nozzle if he cares about their strike affecting crucial relief supplies reaching the hurricane survivors. He doesn't even want cameras reading license plates of trucks entering/exiting the port to keep up with the movement of goods. He wants two employees standing there with clipboards writing them down, then they check each other to insure each recorded the same #. What a self serving POS this lard a-- is. He makes close to $1,000,000.00 a year "representing" these workers. Union guys are paid by the members, usually dues are the equivalent of two hours pay per month. The camera that records the license plates doesn't pay him dues each month. The two guys with clipboards do. He needs to fill up his yacht with diesel. Dues from workers is how he gets $ for diesel. Automation means he may not get to use his yacht as often. Bullies lost their relevance in about the 8th grade. Smart people usually win.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Among other things, they demand a 77% wage increase and no automation No automation is the dumbest thing I have heard of, unbelievable really. So dumb I did believe it and had to look it up. That is one thing they should not give into. https://cei.org/blog/the-real-issue-in-the-port-strike-automation/

Everyone on here that thinks that the current administration would have the courage to do what Reagan did, please raise your hands. Reagan got rid of Federal employees, air traffic controllers, right? How would any US president fire strikers who are working for private enterprise?

Isn't it somewhat involved using that equipment, container cranes, huge loaders, etc and also knowledge of how to load different ships? Doesn't the US Navy even use a lot of private enterprise now for loading and unloading Navy ships?

He can't fire them, but can force them back to work during negotiations in the interest of the country. Taft Hartley Act, in part.

Do you know if it would be the executive, legislative or judicial branch of government to activate the Taft Hartley Act in this instance?

Strike is settled. $30/hr raise over 6 years.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

What a bag over the head f'ing this is. Yeah and I got that info from a dock crane operator that pulled down $280k last year. Even with the new contract they have the option to strike in January 2025 if they don't get everything they want this round.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
