The huge dockworker strike. Here's what these unskilled laborers are demanding.

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Pretty good pay for work a trained monkey can do. OTOH we got dumb jocks and entertainers making $100 million a year. Wages make no sense in america.

oct 2 2024 The ILA contract that expired on Monday shows that the starting pay for dockworkers was $20 per hour. Pay rises to $24.75 after two years, $31.90 after three and tops out at $39 for workers with at least six years on the job.

Meanwhile, the ILA is demanding a 77% increase over the duration of the contract, with a $5 increase each year of the contract. Workers would make $44 the first year, $49 the second and up to $69 in the final year.

Thinks that the strike will be less than two weeks.....I tend to doubt it....I think that this tragedy is on purpose by a Regime that is trying to spread fear and panic through the country as they get ready to crush MAGA:

So you will be applying for work. Maybe you can move out of your cardboard box. Harrisflation has made it so that is barely a living wage in California.

It is amazing how the alt right posters always figure whatever they do not know how to do must be very easy.

Actually, in most developed countries, there is little need for longshoremen. The offloading and storage of containers is dome through automation with BATTERY Mpowered robotic equipment. I added the BATTERY paret so you lefties can join in the climate saving aspect of this much needed change from slow, inaccurate, manpower to something that can be done in a few minutes with efficiency.

Longshoreman cut out an exemption to continue loading bombs. Bombs are about the only thing the US manufactures.

It’s their opening demand, that is what negotiations are for, arriving at a compromised agreement

Longshoremen work on the coastal centers, America’s urban centers, where the cost of living isn’t what it is in your gated community,

Poor anchovies,
Cost of living increases affect everybody.

Like fast food workers, crazy salary demands lead to automation which will benefit us all. Longshoremen, for the most part, are no longer needed.

I would hope so.
Armaments are our stock in trade.
We're the Second Amendment Nation.
Lethal weapons are what we do.
We're open for business, and business is good.

We should be focused on rebuilding the Southeast after Helene instead of funding slaughters around the globe. We added $700 billion to the national debt in 60 days. That's almost $8 million every minute of the day.
