Longshoremen union strikes, torpedoes economy.

T. A. Gardner said:
No, it will torpedo the economy. If every major port on the East Coast and Gulf is closed down, which is what this strike does, it means all imports and exports going into and out of those ports stops. That's something like 20 to 30% of the whole US economy gone until the strike is over.

This strike won't last a week. It was time for them to get a raise like just about every other career field has gotten in the last few years.

You gotta' take care of your workers or they will go on strike- SIMPLY PUT!

Trump is fighting for the vote of the union workers. Vance and Walz are fighting over blue collar workers and their votes.

If people’s lives start getting affected by this their sympathy for these workers could certainly ebb.

If Trump is fighting for Union votes he isn’t doing a good job at it praising Musk for firing strikers or admitting he hated overtime

And should we ask about USC football in the Big Ten? Ain’t a lot of Wash St

You are lying but feel free to tell us all what the Regime has done to avert this disaster.

SEP 18

The Reuters report came in the wake of a Tuesday letter from the National Retail Federation (NRF), which again urged the Biden administration to immediately work with the ILA and its employers, the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), to resume contract negotiations and ensure no disruption at the ports if a new contract is not reached by Sept. 30.

Do not fret. It'll be okay. They'll settle it. Besides, merchants have already stocked up in anticipation, Harris will triumph. All will be well.
 
There is speculation that the Regime is working to destroy the banks, someone on my grapevine said that we are likely to go down to four banks...which will be government entities. At that point we will get forced onto digital currencies, which will be used as a tool of our enslavement.

Creating a port stoppage fits right in.

Doubtful....the Regime did not announce that they were going to let this happen till about 2 weeks ago, till then most expected that Washington would use Taft-Hartley to kick this down the road about a year.

The longshoremen's union just went on strike shutting down East Coast and Gulf ports. If this goes on for a week or two, it will torpedo the economy just before an election. The Democrats are in office, Biden's doing nothing about it, and it will wreck their chances of getting Harris elected.

Dockworkers may have the negotiating advantage in their strike against US ports

Workers began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation even though progress had been reported in contract talks.

The union leaders knew what they were doing. They don't care if Harris is elected or not, but the Democrats are in a position now where they'll have to cave to the union's demands and then some to keep this from wrecking the economy. The problem is, if the Democrats do cave in, they're screwed for doing that too.

Like Trump and Musk, you hate unions. No doubt you'd prefer a system more akin to a master/slave since you've admitted to being against the Constitution. In this case, freedom of assembly.

Polling shows him getting more union support than any other Republican in quite a while.

I have five generations deep at Ohio State on one side of my family so I’m familiar with the Big 10. We gave away the Michigan game. Handled Wisconsin fine and giving them an early lead. We’ll do quite fine

They say 1 day of strike takes a week to recover from. Its 5 weeks till the election.

The majority of Teamsters members voted to support Trump. The Teamsters leadership is NOT endorsing Kamala. This is the first time they have not supported the Democrat candidate since 1996
