So, striking for increased wages is a given, but protection from automation good luck with that? Jobs cant be completely replaced by automation, nor would the laboring want to do without it completely, so are they asking for upgraded jobs managing the inevitable automated advancements? Its like the coal miners opposing green energy.
But this union millionaire president dude, Harold DAGGETT is threatening whom BIDEN? Threatening to take down the whole country. And he pals around with Drumpf, so what happens if Drumpf takes over, well Drumpf isnt averse to taking down the country. But will DAGGETT then get some kind of deal from Drumpf, something like selling the country down the river a comfortable rest stop pending Drumpf turning the country over to PUTEEN, China, and Kim.

. In addition to increased wages, the workers are also seeking protection from automation in the new contract. In the meantime, however, there are concerns that the strike will lead to a shortage of goods and, inevitably, a rise in inflation.
On Tuesday, ILA President Harold Daggett joined the picket line in New Jersey to send a strong message about just how harmful the strike will be if their demands arent met.
Those greedy companies are making billions of dollars and they dont want to share, Daggett said in an interview posted to NBC New Yorks TikTok account. Thats why were out here now, fighting for a contract. Were gonna fight for it and were gonna win it, or this port will never open up again from here to Houston. Im not playing games here!
Nobody knew what the longshoremen were! We didnt get respected, but now we will! Now we will when they find out malls are gonna shut down because goods cant come in. Car salesmen are gonna get laid off. Well, guess what? Everything that comes in this country come from the containers off these ships that my men work; and I want the world to know it! Dont come after us saying were greedy Go after those greedy bastards that own these companies in Europe. Go after them! Theyre sitting there taking $4 billion bonuses for themselves at Christmas time. Thats gotta stop!
